About 30 km. Depends on your weight, topology of your route and ride behavior.
If you reprogram controller removing speed limit of 20 km/h - distance will be shorter, but you will fly much faster... I stay at +20, safety first!

I checked out their websites and both the Kooper and the MyWay appear to be really useful cool inventions, too bad I have to put up with shitty climate most of the time and it's not worth it buying one.

Gzdvtz, you don't have to worry about your climate too much... Electric components are pretty good isolated (checked it in israeli rainy winter). LiFePO batteries function perfect at low temperatures. Equipped with winter tires you will have no safety problems even in snow storms :

If people ride bicycles in Copenhagen - you will be the King of the road at your place as well

Oh, it didn't cross my mind about the technical aspects of it, I just wouldn't want to be outside on a bike-scooter when it's cold and/or raining.

Ha! The Danish are crazy

its probably not good for snow ice and rainy windy climates
but for our climate most of the year its a great alternative.
the main benefit is that you can carry it around in other transport.

שי אגסי, מייסד חברת בטר פלייס, הודח מתפקידו כמנכ"ל וישמש מעתה חבר דירקטוריון בלבד. כך החליט (יום ג', 2.10.12) הדירקטוריון.

Why?
The guy has been failing so far and his company was bleeding money badly.
It only makes sense to replace management if things are not going well.
I still don't think this company is going to succeed and its not his fault the company is failing so far, but if you look at it from a point of view of a businessman , replacing top management is the first thing that comes to mind.

I don't believe that the new CEO will do better.
This company is in deep shit because of many things and one of them is piggishness board of directors.

I agree with you, but thats what investors demand and its a standard measure when company is not performing well.
I would just file for bankruptcy and close the company.
Its operation makes no sense financially, but hey its not the first company to fool its investors using fairy tales (see Solyndra bankruptcy case).
Like they say "Money Talks, Bullshit Walks" and apparently in this case Bullshit not just walks but works too :P

Some more bad news for Better Place:
http://www.themarker.com/dynamo/1.1838451
I won't be surprised if they file for bankruptcy in a few months.
Just wondering how come the investors were such idiots.
FYI the money being invested in this BS, is the money which is supposed to be our pensions in the future.

Just heard on some forum that Channel two reported about upcoming layoffs of ~300 employees (out of 1000 currently employed).
I won't be surprised if this company closes down in a few months.
It is Solyndra story all over again.

נראה שבארץ הם הופכים למודל שדומה לחברת ליסינג לחברות גדולות

כמה מאות רכבים מוכרים לאלקטרה ולחברות של הבעלים עופר

בטר פלייס הקימה 2 תחנות החלפת סוללות בכבישים 1 ו-6
בחודשים האחרונים השלימה החברה את פריסת תשתית הטעינה השלה, העומדת על כ-40 תחנות החלפת סוללה בכל רחבי הארץ

בטר פלייס בקריסה: אחרי אגסי התפטר המנכ"ל קפלינסקי וסמנכ"ל התשתיות ליבמן; חברות ליסינג עוצרות הזמנות
מנכ"ל בטר פלייס ישראל, משה קפלינסקי התפטר מתפקידו בבטר פלייס על רקע הכוונה להעתיק את ליבת הפעילות לחו"ל, בשבוע
הבא צפוי סבב נוסף של פיטורים, שיכלול מאות עובדים. על רקע אי הודאות לגבי המשך הפעילות העסקית עצרו חברות ליסינג הזמנות מהחברה

ההתפוררות במטה הישראלי של חברת בטר פלייס: לאחר פרישת המנכ"ל משה קפלינסקי אמש
היום הודיעה על התפטרותה גם דפנה אגסי, סמנכ"לית השיווק בחברה ואחותו של שי אגסי. בנוסף התפטר אל"מ
במיל' פיני ליברמן, ששימש סמכ"ל התשתיות בחברה ואחד מאנשי המפתח בפרישת הרשת של החברה בארץ יחד
עם אחיו של שי אגסי, טל, שהתפטר אף הוא. בנוסף התפטרה דוברת החברה לאחר כחודשיים בתפקיד
בשבוע הבא צפויה החברה לעבור גל מאסיבי נוסף של פיטורים, שיתכן ויכלול מאות עובדים על רקע המייל שנשלח
מטעם מנכ"ל בטר פלייס העולמית אוון תורנלי על שינוי ארגוני וכוונתו להעתיק את ליבת הפעילות של החברה לחו"ל.
חברות הליסינג המקומיות הפסיקו לחלוטין הזמנות ולא ברור האם לאחר גל הפיטורים תמשיך החברה לספק
את מלוא השירותים שהובטחו לכ-500 לקוחות שכבר רכשו רכבים חשמליים. חלק מחברות הליסינג מעכבות את ההזמנות עד
להתבהרות הפעילות העסקית בחברה
