Hello From Central New York

[Rogueshadowcat40]

I just bought my first ebike and it's on its way. I got what I believe is a very entry level bike. It's the Ecotric Snow 26". I'll hopefully be able to get scooting around in about a week. If it works out I'll be looking into possible ways to modify it in the future.

Welcome to the site & the hobby.
Check the parts and accessories thread for advice on locks & tethering devices. If you get stranded you need to lock the bike up to a power pole or something until you can get a lift. Or you might want to stop for a drink or meal.
At night you would need flashing lights front & rear. I wear an ANSI reflective green vest every time I ride on the street (which is every time). I wear a helmet with a chin guard too. I've never hit the top, side, or back of my head in a spill, but have hit my chin 6 times.

Welcome Roguesshadowcat, nice to have you aboard. Get used to your bike first, but more importantly ride safe and responsibly. Good luck.

Thank you for you advice. I planned on putting lights and fenders on it when I get it home.

Good move.
