I’m looking for some help/guidance from the ebike community.
I may be asked to give a presentation to one of our local cycling associations on the topic of ebikes. If it happens, it would be a bit of work for me, but perhaps a great opportunity to spread the gospel and diffuse some of the misconceptions (although I might wear my helmet in case someone throws something!)
I’m thinking of dusting off my PowerPoint skills and putting something together and also bringing one or two ebikes to the meeting for some show and tell.
So rather than reinvent the wheel (pun intended) I was wondering if anyone had or could steer me to any material that I could use to help me get this together.
I haven’t done a whole lot of thinking yet, but am thinking along the lines of the outline below.
Any contributions appreciated.
