Riding without the motor

[BlackHand]

Tried licking my motor on yesterday's ride but couldn't feel a difference. Maybe I'm licking it in the wrong place?

At least you confirmed that flexibility and balance aren't issues for you as you age!

Depends on how my knee is doing.

Same here. On any given day, I might have to pamper one, both, or neither. But I can almost always ride an ebike in some fashion.

The knees are usually happy when I can keep cadence in the 80-95 rpm range. When I can do that in OFF, OFF is generally an option.

But I always need assist for the one thing my knees hate most: Strong accelerations at low cadence. My first ebike had a throttle, and keeping my knees out of that situation accounted for 95% of its use.
