Whatup from Stuttgart

[Pooooookie1000]

So I sort of impulse bought this last week. It is a Ghost Hybride 2.7 HTX 2.7+

After 15 years of not riding any sort bicycle I bought a basic hardtail MTB (Cannondale Trail 7) to have something to ride with my son as he was learning to ride. Fast forward a year later, I got the itch for an e-bike since they are very common here and I thought it would good for the commute to and from work.

I found these forums to be a good resource already and I'm sure I'll have questions in the future.

Welcome to the hobby & the site.
I hope your son doesn't get motor envy! I was full of wound up springs age 8-18.
I've been to Stuttgart, the Mercedes plant tour. I couldn't believe how slow the charter bus had to go! Our charter buses to the airport in Kansas went 115 km/hr, not 50.

Spent 2 years in the early 70s north of you in Heilbronn, courtesy the US Army. Swabia is a beautiful area, with some wonderful food, like maultaschen.

Beautiful bike, may come in handy for keeping up with your son before too long! Welcome aboard

Thanks everyone! My son currently has no idea what the motor even is lol. He is extremely energetic so this is a great outlet for him. I do want to upgrade him to a small MTB like the Woom Off 4 once he is a bit taller and has improved some more on his current bike. The thing I'm hoping to do next though is to get the mom in on the action.
