Fellow e-bikers unite!

Hello from Central NY. First off e-bikes are awesome! My brother is to blame for my addiction to these newish 2-wheelers. He lives in Colo. Springs where biking is so much biker than the small community that I live in. This past spring I purchased a used Trek ProFly 8 and what an awesome piece of machinery. I have already put just over 400mi on and most of it off road in the beautiful state lands and local single track that surrounds me. So of course my wife became extremely jealous and wanted an e-bike of her own. So I scoured the ole interwebs and found her a 2015 izip E3 Zuma that had five miles on it. Nice bike with one issue which I will get into in another section. Glad to be a member, keep the rubber side down

Welcome to the site.
I tend to ride alone but another my speed would be nice company. The wife only rode with me until the wedding was over.

Thanks indianajo. I too ride alone, but it is better than not riding at all! My wife is strictly on road, so my rides are at separate times. We will see how long it lasts. Are you in central NY? I live in Norwich located between Binghamton and Syracuse.

Thanks for the invite. I live in southern Indiana. There is a club here but they ride about twice the speed that I can.

Don't forget that riding with faster riders makes you faster. And bike set up is very important. Correct suspension sag, clicker settings and even tire pressure. The right mind set helps too!
