I can and will do better than that! but I guess I need to ask what is / should the top speed be?? that quickest one I've seen went 10mph, so how quick do I go paralyzed?? do I double it?? and what kind of runtime should I account for during a typical day ??

Thank you so much for your time sir..

Shaun.
I've seen 11 and 12 mph chairs and the users said that was just flying! I think 15 is a nice number, it would definitely have to be marketed as extreme, and run at your own risk! A 2:1 two speed would be so awesome, hill climbing torque and high speed. I have an led 10 bar battery meter and on a typical day I will use one bar of power, and that's 16 hr's of use. The only time I ever killed my batteries was when I made multiple 5 mile trips. 12v sealed gel lead acid batteries are the standard and the only battery approved for flight.
