I got interested in riding with a cyclist club by name Mazowiecki Gravel (Mazovian Gravel). These guys have amassed a lot of routes around the province (voivodeship as we call it) of Mazovia in Poland. Of course, I wouldn't even intend or be allowed to compete with them. Also, major events they organise are like 550 km race over 64 hours (no way!).
However, these guys are friendly, not as weird as roadies, and could accept me on their group rides. I only wonder which of my e-bikes would be the most appropriate to ride with them and not make them upset. If they ride as a club, they ride at cruising speed of 32-35 km/h (20-22 mph) on road, slower on gravel. My choices are:

- Vado 5.0 S-Pedelec. It has no suspension (like gravel bikes), 2" tyres, and can ride at the club speed easily. The drawback is the e-bike carries a number plate and could be negatively perceived by the club members, or
- Lovelec Diadem. It looks like a normal touring bike, has 1.6" tyres, good front suspension, and a hub-motor. It can easily ride at the Club speeds, maintaining constant speed (cannot ride slow). Drawback: It looks like a touring bike
