The cold was tolerable, but later this week it's supposed to drop significantly. I'm glad to be back in the saddle, taking the first step to rack up many miles this year.
Do you commute regularly on the e-bike? What kind of distance, year round?
I'm about to electrify my heavy utility bike to help me with hauling stuff behind me (kid, groceries, etc), and I was thinking I may try to supplement my road bike commuter riding days with some e-assist bike commuting days, and drop my car usage even more from where it is now. I'm hoping my setup I end up getting will handle 30 miles round trip on a single charge.
