One rider, one GT, one month in downtown San Francisco.
The challenge was simple: replace a car commute entirely with the Braxx GT for 30 consecutive days in San Francisco. Rain or shine, hills included.

Total distance over 30 days: 847 miles. Average daily ride: 28.2 miles. Total energy consumed: 54.8 kWh. Total electricity cost: $14.25. Equivalent gasoline cost at San Francisco prices: approximately $127.
The hills were a non-issue. The GT's torque makes San Francisco's grades feel flat. Regenerative braking on the descents recovered roughly 18% of the energy spent climbing — the Divisadero corridor became a net-positive commute segment.
After 30 days, the habit was set. The car stayed parked. The GT became the default.
