New here...new E-bike coming...old age.

[tygr1]

Ok, new here, NOT new to bicycling...from a brand new late 60s Sting-Ray to a cheap 20mph fat tire ebike that I built. A couple of 'buzz' bikes and of course, everyting in between in my 64 years.

So, having said that...I've been sucked in. Ordered an Ecotric Hammer 1000 watt model a few days ago. Liked the style, size, power and the controller it comes with.

So have I made a decent choice? I'm no kid anymore, didn't buy it for the pedaling aspects, lol. Bought it because in my old age I had to sell my Harley a few weeks ago, and I just really want something to fly around the neighborhood on.

I have 1211 miles on my seagull..(hate the name) I would suggest replacing your inner tubes with an anti-leak tube of some sort.( Put in slime) and then at least for the back tire put in a puncture barrier (plastic strip from a bike shop). read over your owner's manual because you can change your settings if you like. .... ... And keep your brakes in good shape. Otherwise I love the darn thing
