Pedaling is almost impossible without the battery.
Be warned / if the battery dies, you are screwed! This thing might look like a bicycle, but its a scooter. The pedals are primarily for hill assistance. Its almost impossible to pedal unless youre on a flat surface, and even then it takes quite a bit of effort to get it going.It has a fixed chain, so no changing gears.
Its great for what it is. It rides well and Im very happy with it overall, but not being able to use it if the battery dies is a big design flaw.
