Nice. I'm really starting to understand how much of a game changer these are. Plus so much fun. Have fun with the demos!

Last night's ride I climbed a rocky, rooty trail that I normally pushed my Stumpy up. I rode nearly double the miles in the same time. Still burned 1100 calories according to my Garmin watch in Ebike mode in 2:20.

I'm really impressed with the power and range. My last 4 rides totaled 41 miles, 5.5 hrs riding time and 3100 vert and used 61% battery. 99% of the time is spent in low assist Eco mode.

The pangs of guilt over this purchase are starting to subside. It's really nice when my wife and I get to the top after a long steep climb, and instead of getting the look of " I want to kill you," she now has a smile on her face 😁

Saturday my wife and I took a fairly long ride with lots of up/down plus mud and roots. We had very limited time and had it not been for the Ebikes we couldn't have done it in the allocated time. We even had time to stop for 20 mins and enjoy the views. That second photo at the pond, that area always reminds me of being in the ADK yet it's in the Rochester area.

Used only 21% battery and 85% of the riding was done in Eco mode.

Also for reference the last time I did that same ride on my Stumpy it took an hour longer.

Blew up the motor in my Bulls Grinder Evo at 8,750 miles. Sounded like a bunch of marbles kicking around. Bikeway hooked me up big time with a new Bosch Gen 4 Speed motor with a two year warranty. E-bikes allow you to go further faster. I rode my 20 mile commute for a month on my acoustic Trek Checkpoint. My best time was 1 hour 25 minutes.
