Not much range. Also interesting that the USA version is more limited than the international version (likely due to its classification as ultralight in the USA).

Range (with reserve):

* 25 miles (USA)

* 40+ miles (Intl)

The size of the battery is the difference for USA vs. Intl:

* 8 kWh (USA)

* 12 kWh (Intl)

Cruise Speed:

* 62 mph (limited, USA)

* 80+ mph (Intl)
