Congrats on your new ride. A real beauty indeed. Ride safe and enjoy your new experience!
Hello - just got an e-bike and wanted to say hi.

I ride on a local trail. I want to use it for shopping and photography. Not sure how to best secure it from theft. I did a 37 mile ride and used 7% of battery in the way down and 12% on the way back. I want to build up to 70 miles, then 90, but I am still experimenting with handlebar position and saddle height. I wish it came with a Brooks saddle instead of the Velo gel... not a fan of gel saddles though this is better than others that I have tried. I don’t feel that it’s easier to bike that distance than on my Bike Friday ( no battery) but it is faster and I am more likely to go more often because it can be fun.

I am replacing the saddle on the Gazelle with one from my other bikes.
Ordered new clipless pedals that will be arriving in a week and adding bar ends when it arrives in a couple of days. Also ordered an AXA cable extension to complement the lock that came with the bike and finally ordered a trunk to put small things in.
It is going to get heavier!

Haha, yes. One wonders why fret a few pounds for a lighter frame if you’re going be throwing on extra stuff anyway. An easier solution would be to lose the extra few pounds of body weight....like that’s ever going to happen.

Wow, you must ride often. I bought my ebike as a back-up for my car, which I only put two k on a year. Now I am afraid I won’t be able to secure the bike, but I am hoping to hit the local rail trail more oftenI've lost 36 lbs since the beginning of my e-bike adventure

Update:
It’s been about two months since I got my Gazelle Ultimate T10+ and I wanted to give a shout out; it is everything I had hoped for! I liken it to driving a Duesenberg of the time. It is large, beautiful, heavy, comfortable, fast, powerful and handles great. Only about 350 miles on the clock but I know I love the bike, it suits my type of riding which can be considered urban discovery touring with light gravel travel, it meets those needs extremely well.
To fit me more I have replaced the saddle, changed pedals to half cage and half SPD, added a trunk, water bottle, and added a cable to compliment the Café Lock. I want to add a battery to make it dual battery but we will soon be having a weather change +100ºF, not cooler than 90ºF, maybe for four months, which is not conducive to long rides so I may hold off on the new battery so for now I will just use one battery and keep my radius of travel from home to under thirty-five miles.
