My first ride since November! 44°F, about a 10mph head wind. Electric socks and gloves worked great! Cold face, though... A short ride, for sure, but it's a start for 2023😉.

If there's an REI in your area, check out Espin bikes: https://www.espinbikes.com/ I have their Flow model, which I like very much. If class 1 is what you're looking for, consider Giant/Momentum, if you have a dealer nearby. I have the E+2 model, currently branded by Momentum, a Giant...

A spot on-key voice, and an underrated blues guitarist, too 😉

I was more into folk and blues - more of a Bonnie Raitt kind of girl 😉.

I use Ride with GPS, and also the app that goes with my smart watch. Basic, compared to apps like Strava, but they get the job done 😉.

Wait - they DO make a short version: https://klymit.com/collections/sleeping-pads/products/static-v-junior-sleeping-pad

Have you looked at this: https://klymit.com/products/static-v-camping-sleeping-pad They pack down to about the size of a water bottle. We've used them for years (not bike camping, but other travels).

Congrats - that's one beautiful bike!

If you live in Amish country, spooking horses is definitely an issue 😉. Live in western WA now, but grew up in NE Ohio Amish country (not Amish myself). A spooked horse on the road (where the buggies drive) can be a catastrophe!

Congratulations! Be sure to post pictures out and about 😁!

Welcome! I'm sure you're aware that your battery range will decline, like your daylight hours, in winter 😉...

Perhaps more effort to change the law might yield a better outcome than trashing the manufacturer for (probably by force) complying with it? It is rather creepy that one's bike (among other modern technologies) can be controlled from afar, though.

Received a reply from Espin today with video and instructions to change the power percentages for PAS levels - we're going to reduce the percentage for PAS 1 (and maybe 2), and see what happens. I don't think the 9mph is an issue as much as how quickly and aggressively the bike achieves it is -...

My neighbor ordered her Espin Flow at the black Friday sale, after riding mine and loving it. They're both 2021 models, but after she complained on her maiden ride today that PAS1 was too aggressive, I checked it out. Sure enough, where mine accelerates moderately and smoothly up to 6-7 mph...

They've been discounted for at least a year, maybe two, I believe... Your re-sell price may be ok for a bit, as these were very popular bikes and people are still looking for them. But, you'd have to sell pretty soon. Except for the aero, They've gone full on step through 😉. I am very happy...

They're not the same. They don't have the same size motor, or weight, or, crucially, the same top speed. And, so, only one of them is legal to ride on MUPs. That's why ...

Just my opinion, but I think a "moped style" ebike is a moped, not an ebike, and does not belong on multi user paths. I would definitely be giving you dirty looks, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one doing so. You probably already know this type of vehicle belongs on the road, not...

NOT!
