New to E-Bike and this forum

[GMA52]

Hello from Euless, Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth area). I bought a new E-Bike. Silly name but nice bike. Puckipuppy Labrador Pro. I retired from DFW Airport Board in 2019 after 42 years in Electronics. I had Back surgeries and 90% of Lumbar is fused. My wife suggested I get an E-Bike to get me out of the house. I needed something that was smooth riding and this did just that. I do not do a lot of Dirt trails but we have a lot of park area with about 10 miles of paved trails for walking or riding and you can go even farther with some non park walking/Riding paved trails to Bedford Texas etc. Anyway I am glad to be here.
I will post a photo as soon as I can read and figure out the size reduction needed to post here.

Welcome to the forum. I take pictures with my phone, and use Image Resizer on the PC to cut the size in half. Works great.

Ok, here it is. 2025 Puckipuppy Labrador Pro upgraded model with removable display (for security) and Taillight with brake light, turn signals, running light and headlights.

Thank you, the original size was 2.4MB so I did not need to cut it in half maybe by a third. The only things added since the photo above was taken is a cellphone holder, Garmin Edge Explorer 2 and accompanying RTL515 Radar/Light. Nice not to have to always look into the Mirror to see if cars are coming. I do use the mirrors just not having to as much. I learned using the Peleton Light setting saves battery and lights to a lower level until it detects a car then it flashes brightly.

I love the Varia. I do not feel comfortable riding without it.

Nice....
No need to rush out but if you don't do a lot of off road a very nice upgrade is to change the tires to something more street oriented. It'll definitely smooth out the ride, be more efficient, quieter and handle better all around, epecially when braking.
If you do a little off road then you can find something with a smooth center tread but knobs on the outer edge.
Enjoy

Easiest way to resize a photo if using a mobile device is to take a screen shot of it and then crop out the top/bottom

Yes, I have thought about this but at this time I do not know what is a good tire for these bikes in 26” x 4” tire.
