Bikes: Too many but never enough.

Thanks, this bike is way overbuilt for someone like me (165 lb.).
It's built like a tank even compared to my vintage Honda mopeds; likely be able to handle much more abuse than those, too.


So far, I've put about 20 miles on it, mostly pavement, undulating terrain, 20% flat terrain, plus about 1/4 mile off-pavement in crushed stone path & tall grass.
Operating mostly on PAS mode, ECO or level 1 & 2 setting.
Battery is down to about 1/2 way. Once it gets close to empty, I will report back with charge time.

I really need to have higher seat height, pedaling with bent knees gets tiring quick.
I'm trying to design a bracket to adapt regular seatpost with minimal height adjustment of 2-3 inches.
Since I've built a few stools from bicycle frames, this bracket shouldn't be too difficult.
Some tube cutting, some minor welding, finds a few bolts & nuts and bolt-on.
