    I like all the mods, the bike, and dedication to use it all for utility and probably fun. Walk the walk. Your doing it.

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Yesterday on my 24 mile ride on a new trail that links 2 cities ( Eureka-Arcata ca) I encountered around 15 cyclists. Most were on analog bikes, and probably 6 on Ebikes. The only people that had a smile on there faces when I greeted them were the ones on Ebikes. Somes it up doesn't it.

    Old man, new bike, massive hills, lesson learned

    I'm in California visiting family and I'm loving these flat roads where I can get over 30 miles on a charge. Big difference from my home AO of E.TN and nothing but hills and only getting 18 miles per charge on a 14 ah battery on pas lvl III. Hills make a huge difference. Glad I have at least...
