it is interesting to me that most of those streets, even though they are two way traffic have no center dividing line painted down them. you have a great camera mount position for the video camera
Maybe it is about the 232 Watts average over more than one hour that makes the difference. Not everyone is able bring that power on the pedals. At least I'm not able...
It's a combination of my search for more efficiency (which will eventually flow into old and new Mangos) and the natural training effect of my 4x90km commute each week. Apart from that it's clear that when the dice were rolled, I got pretty decent genes for strong legs to begin with.
Nice one Twilwel :) What I do not understand is that I don't can't reach nearly the same average as you do. Ok - my mango is older than yours. But I also drive a Racecap. I assume that the bearing in my rear wheel is not really free and I have to exchange it - but I first Need another mango to confirm this theory.
Well, keep working on that then ;-) Just spin the rear wheel; it should spin quite some time. I have used almost all the tricks that I know at the moment to go faster, without losing the Mangos' practical features(!). I have strips to smooth the airflow around the wheelboxes (without sacrificing turning radius), a longer tail (designed by Rudolf Kooistra, will soon go into production) and the racecap with closed visor and trimmed edges (keine Kantenschutz, sondern flausch Klettband). Furthermore the Shredda tires (underestimated speedy and supple) tires and a stiff polymere front suspension with 2cm travel instead of 5cm (faster through corners and roundabouts). Last but not least: I'm well-trained because of the many kilometers I cycle. Fit as never before :-)

twilwel oh, and the Gingko chain roller is efficient (and sturdy).

Oh, and there really is no e-motor inside. Strictly human power!
