Now it's not something anyone probably thinks about, but has no one been curious and sort of timed it or seen what their max is?

I timed myself from 2-30mph and got their in about 8-10 seconds and wondering if that is good?, I hit a wall about 32mph and cant get any faster though Just curious really, don't really know how to ask it but I've always liked acceleration on my bicycle :p

Thanks
Will.

    I used to meet a Nissan Serena on my commute to Aztec West and these cars are known for their acceleration and always managed to beat it away from the lights :D
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    You sure he was thrashing it? :p

    Did you ever see what speeds you got? I always get off slow the first second due to clipping in.

    You measure the 0-60 of a Nissan Serena in hours not seconds, think about 30 seconds. Slightly less for petrol engines.
