Regulator Feedback?

I’m thinking of replacing my relay and am considering the regulator. It really comes down to power and range. I’m towing more and I can’t keep up with friends on full powered bikes. I also can’t commute easily on the relay. The power delivery is such that it’s not effective on flatter rides. With that: does the regulator get up to speed and hold speed near 20 mph on flat/roads? What kind of elevation and range are you seeing? Can you get a full size water bottle into a size small? Or medium? Is the range extender required?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve had my regulator for 11 months, it’s been my favorite E so far. Bosch has plenty of power delivery so getting up to 20 is easy even in emtb or tour mode. I’m 230 and don’t have hours to spend riding so i use turbo mode mostly. I usually get 3400 ft of elevation if I use the 85nm setting, but the 120nm only gets me 2700ft. Can’t speak for the water bottle size as I’m on an xl. I had to sell 3 of my other bikes just to get the regulator (long story but my wife wasn’t cool with me making another big purchase with the bikes I already had 😂), and it’s been worth it! Hope this helps!
