There are a minority who believe that ebikes are not bikes at all, and are something like motor bikes.
I commute 42 km's a day. It is possible for me to do the entire trip many days, but I'm limited in the winter by the fact that ice and snow make it dangerous to bike. As an experiment this winter I bought an electric hub for an adult tricycle.
I invite you to visit my journal on
crazyguyonabike and let me know your opinion.
You ride 42km's? That's about my distance from north of the city to downtown. Where abouts are you in T.O? How much did the bike cost? What size are the tires? What is the bikes range (pedal assist that is)? Can you turn the assist off and ride full manual? Are you allowed on bike path/trails with that? Do you ride that on city roads or on the sidewalk?
Cool looking bike.
