Hi guys
First day out trialing a bergamont e line c n360 for a 15 mile commute to and from work. Found it to be great getting away from traffic lights but trying to pedal to keep the speed over 10mph was very very hard work indeed with legs spinning far to fast and no resistance from the gears and actually felt very vulnerable in fast traffic travelling so slowly. Even turned off the elec assistance but not any better.
I suppose I was hoping for a conventional type of bike ride with some decent pace on the flat but with some assistance for the hills.
Am I on the wrong bike or is this what it's all about. Please help me out as a rather disappointed first timer
Thanks
