Pedal or not, the Boomerang Plus goes up to 20 MPH and has a range of up to 60 miles on a single battery charge. Electric assistance helps the rider ride longer, farther and faster than they could on a traditional pedal bike. Boomerang Plus features include:

• A powerful, whisper-quiet, 500-watt motor that delivers best-in-class acceleration and hill climbing
• A state-of-the-art 48-volt, 10 AH battery that uses the same advanced lithium-ion cells as an electric car (optional 15AH battery) and only uses about 10 cents worth of electricity per charge
• A twist-and-go throttle for instant speed
• Pedego’s PedalSense™ that provides five levels of electric assistance as riders pedal
• LCD display with USB charger
• Smart Bike Technology including a Bluetooth-connected smartphone app
• Top-of-the-line components including Shimano seven-speed derailleur and shifter
