E-Bikes

[Apparition]

I'm picking up the ebike strictly for accompanying the young granddaughter on her trek home. She's only seven years old, and the route is about a quarter of a mile. At this stage, I'm thinking that's all I'm going to be using it for, as I have a nice bike for riding around locally and on the 30-mile-long paved trail that's near my house. I also have something like 26 vintage project bikes in the cellar, but that's a whole 'nuther thing!

I ordered a Rad Rover about a month into Covid when the kids were about the same age as your grandaughter. It maxes out about 30mph and I haven't seen any of the kids go faster. It's been a fun bike and with my fat tires I can offroad it through the yard and such.

Liked mine so much the wife got one of these to go with it, a little slower than mine but still faster than the kids.

It'll be interesting to see how much I warm up to the ebike. I've always been curious about 'em, but never really planned on owning one. However, it presented itself as a solution to a problem, so I went for it. We'll see how it goes.

I love my pedal assist e-bike. It’s what got me back out there after patellar tendon problems.

I don't think I've ever peddled mine other than just to see how the assist works

They should just have foot pegs like all motorcycles.

But then how will they continue to pretend they're bicycles

I got my wife a cheap Amazon special ebike so she would come out with me occasionally.

I put 2,250 miles on my bikes this year. Slow year.

I'm averaging 22 mph on the trainer now for my 25 mile rides. When it's warm I do 50-75 during the week and 40 miles on the weekend. Not bad for a 56 year old.

I strenghtened my hips to a point they no longer hurt when I walk.

I have a couple friends that have had double knee replacements and my mom has had one. My goal is to not do that.
