Normally I ride the road bike on Tuesdays, but I had to rush to work earlier to make an 8 AM jobsite meeting, so I took the e-bike instead. I tried using a higher PAS level for hills instead of just the throttle, which actually made me faster overall AND took less battery. Win-win! I usually use PAS level 3 of 9 in the mornings, and 4 in the afternoons, bumping it up as needed for various hills, or throttle for larger hills. This time I just bumped it up to 6 and kept pedaling on the larger hills.

The crazy thing is that I made the 15.1 mile distance in exactly 51 minutes 59 seconds moving time in the morning, and 51 minutes 59 seconds in the afternoon as well! That's really weird!
