    Winter e-biking advices

    interesting thread, my first e-bike (turbo Levo) has me wanting to ride every day (minus 15 to 20 celcius now in Western Canada) and now that I am mostly retired I can do that, my regular mtn bike would have been tucked away for the season by now, the biggest thing is the wind, actually a slight...
