Hours on the wall
A conventional e-bike takes 4–8 hours to charge. You either stop working or you own a second battery.
Pronto E1 · Pronto Mobility

The problem
A conventional e-bike takes 4–8 hours to charge. You either stop working or you own a second battery.
That ties you to wherever your charger is. You can only go about half your range from home, because you have to get back.
Charging indoors is how e-bike fires start. Most cities are pushing charging out of apartments, and couriers are left with nowhere to plug in.
How it works
Estimated ~40 miles at 30 mph.
The same posts electric cars use. Most sit empty.
One tap starts the session.
On a standard 32 A station. A 48 A one takes about the same.
Why LTO
Most e-bikes use lithium-ion cells built for weight, not for fast charging. Push them hard and they degrade in a few hundred cycles, and the same fast-charge stress is what drives lithium plating — the failure mode behind most e-bike battery fires. The E1 uses lithium titanate oxide (LTO) instead. LTO does not suffer that plating failure mode, and its cells are rated for 20,000+ cycles. In practical terms: the pack outlasts the vehicle, and a 3.5C charge rate stops being a stress test.
What you need to ride it
Massachusetts treats the E1 as a motorized bicycle. That means the paperwork is short, and the license you already have is the one you need.

Charge calculator
The 32 A public post is the one you'll find on most streets, and a 48 A unit finishes in about the same time — the onboard charger, not the station, sets the pace. A regular 110 V wall outlet is the slow fallback. Pick a starting charge and a target to see the stop.
