    Newbie looking for advice

    I'm thinking, if you just want "sufficient juice to take the load off" the legs, then don't necessarily be put off by an ebike that feels "underpowered." On a mid drive motor the more torque you produce, the more the motor will help out, so with the Gazelle (for example) I think the only way to...

    Yesterday it hit 70 degrees here, so definitely a riding day. A little dirt as you can see, but mostly it was on pavement.
