How do you remove the battery and what are the wheels on the bottom for?

To remove, start by unlocking the over-center latch on top of the battery, then the secondary safety latch. This rotates the casing downward. Then, disconnect the attached cables, and ease the battery off the bracket and onto the ground with integrated side handles. Finally, with the 4 wheels on the bottom and the luggage-style handle that folds out 90 degrees, you can roll the battery away in a similar fashion to typical travel luggage.
This allows you to charge the battery at a coffee shop, under your desk at work, or simply at a standard US outlet in your household.

What is the top speed and what are the ranges in various conditions?
The Anthem's top speed is 75+ mph.
City UDDS (Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule) range is estimated to be 75 miles. More on this:- The following estimate aims to provide a practical assessment of the riding range expected in urban settings characterized by frequent stops and starts, aligning with the SAE J2982 "City Test" duty cycle. However, the actual range may vary due to specific riding conditions and personal habits.
Highway range at a constant speed of 55 mph is estimated to be 46 miles. More on this:- Based on a frontal area of 5.75 square feet and a coefficient of drag (CD) of 0.7 along with a 150 lbs. rider and 10 lbs. of gear, the estimate for highway operation at 55 mph provides a rough idea of the expected riding range. The actual range will vary depending on real-time riding conditions and individual habits.
Combined range at speeds up to 55 mph is estimated to be 57 miles. More on this:- This estimate offers a reasonable expectation of the riding range during operation that includes a combination of 50% "stop and go" and 50% steady state highway at 55 mph. It utilizes the "highway commuting range" calculation specified by SAE J2982. The actual range will vary depending on real-time riding conditions and individual habits.
Highway range at a constant speed of 70 mph is 35 miles. More on this:- Based on a frontal area of 5.75 square feet and a coefficient of drag (CD) of 0.7 along with a 150 lbs. rider and 10 lbs. of gear, the estimate for highway operation at 70 mph provides a reasonable expectation of the riding range during steady-state conditions. However, the actual range will vary depending on real-time riding conditions and individual habits.
Combined range at speeds up to 70 mph is estimated to be 48 miles. More on this:- This estimate offers a reasonable expectation of the riding range during operation that includes a combination of 50% "stop and go" and 50% steady state highway at 70 mph.

What are the regenerative braking details?
The Anthem features a 74 amp max regen current, but the amount of regen usable by default will be pre-determined.

- When in Eco mode, regen is linked to the throttle. This means that when the throttle is not engaged, regen will be activated. The regen button is not active in this mode.
- In both modes, regen can also be activated by engaging the mechanical brakes—either using the right-hand brake lever or the foot brake. However, in Sport mode, the effect of engaging the regen button and the mechanical brake together is not additive. -
