Top Speed and Performance of the Power Goat V2
One of the most exciting aspects of goat power bikes like the Power Goat V2 is their impressive top speed. Power Goat Bikes advertises a top speed range of 40 to 50 mph for the V2, acknowledging that rider weight and terrain play a role. They even provide specific figures, suggesting 48 mph for a 150-pound rider and 44 mph for a 240-pound rider.
During our testing, we achieved a top speed of 45 mph on the Power Goat V2. This speed felt exhilarating and truly showcased the “goat power” this bike delivers. The Power Goat V2 operates at a high-performance level, making it a standout in the e-moped category. It’s the SR71 Blackbird of the electric moped world – built for speed and performance. Interestingly, for those who prefer a pure moped experience, the Power Goat V2 can even be configured with foot pegs instead of pedals, further blurring the lines between e-moped and electric motorcycle.
E-Moped Versatility: Pedal Assist or Pure Electric Power
While the raw power of the Power Goat V2 might tempt you to use it exclusively in electric mode, it’s worth noting its versatility. This goat power bike retains functional pedals and a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain. This thoughtful addition means that if you ever deplete the battery, or simply want some exercise, you can actually pedal the Power Goat V2 like a traditional bicycle.
Although with 3,000 Watts of peak power and a 60V battery, similar to popular high-performance e-bikes like the Sur Ron, pedaling might be a secondary thought for most riders. However, the option is there, providing a practical backup and expanding the bike’s usability beyond just a pure electric moped. This e-moped’s design caters to both thrill-seekers and practical commuters, making it a unique offering in the goat power bikes segment.
Feature-Rich Design of the Power Goat V2
The Power Goat V2 is not just about power; it’s packed with features that enhance both comfort and functionality. The generously sized, faux leather seat with a classic Chevron pattern is a standout. It’s large enough to potentially accommodate two riders, and with a robust 450-pound weight limit and a rear suspension rated for a combined 500 pounds, carrying a passenger might be feasible.
However, it’s important to note the bike’s size. With a 33” seat height, the Power Goat V2 is best suited for riders 5’8” to 6’2” and taller. Despite its substantial build and power, this goat power bike maintains a relatively manageable weight of 101 pounds.
Additional features include a rear wheel lock and throttle lock for security, a full-color LED display with smartphone app integration (offering optional navigation), and integrated mag wheels. These features combine to create a well-rounded and technologically advanced goat power bike experience.
