Bought An E-Bike
I've had it about a month, having a great time on it; on and off road. Fat tires, sturdy frame, 750W motor, seven speed derailer. Front and rear disk brakes, 0-5 setting for peddle assist (I keep it on 1). Totally fun.

Park it out on the patio away from the house, so when it bursts into flame it doesn't take the house with it.
You're welcome. |

Pedal (dammit) not going to fix it, at least I didn't make it a wee-bike.
I've not run it out of charge, but the assist does diminish if I don't charge it after every ride. I wear out before it does. I charge it on the patio, at least for now. Built in China by Chinese toddlers I'm sure, but the quality seems good. Range is variable depending on how you ride it, my longest ride has been about ten miles. I've gone about 25 miles on a charge just to see how it would do, that got it down to about 50%, again with pedal assist set at 1. I've gotten up to about 25mph, down hill in 7th gear, pedaling hard. No idea on battery replacement. |

Is it harder to pedal without using the electric motor than a non-electric bike?

I don’t completely disagree, but we have good bike trails all over the island so we ride a lot, except on the beach. Not much spirited driving available on an island that’s 12 miles long and two miles wide. |

We did the bicycle thing when we lived in Destin. We had a pair of real nice Schwinn beach cruisers. We were younger and the place was a sleepy lonely beach town. If you can believe it.

South of the entrance to Long Point. I hear cars and bikes winding it out there all the time. Once or twice I may have even had my Vette into triple digits before I got to the bridge

On an electric bike it's way too hard to pedal without using electric. Some of them weigh 60 lbs. Even having it on it's lowest it's a good work out And someone with a 10 or more speed bike will be able to pass you easily. Now if you put it on 2 or more than it's a lot easier to pedal. Use the electric going against a wind of 12 miles or more or up a hill. Other than that keep it on 1. |
