New to this forum, Hello to all, 54 yrs old, Live in Traverse City, Michigan, daily rider around town and off road trails locally. And I just ordered my first e-bike, can't wait to talk of it and hear from you people..Thanks

Welcome and nice town you live in there. I've never been to Traverse City and looked up some photos. Really nice. I've only been around Detroit and Clarkston in the past. Looks to be a lot further north. How are the winters there. Do you use winter tires with studs?

Welcome to Bike Forums from Kalamazoo.

Thank you for the welcome. I do like this town, and bikes are a big deal around here.You didn't say what part of the state you're in.

I lived just north of clarkston for over twenty years, I grew up here and am back {at least for now** we had a bad winter this past one but Lots of riders all year long unless it's stupid weather. no studs for me,don't know anyone who uses them. they have tons of paved and maintained trails around the bays here,look up TART trail thanks for the welcome..Ride on.

Thank you for the welcome.

I live in Niles, which is about as south as you can get and still live in Michigan.

Traverse city.. beautiful place to ride! Love torch lake. Enjoy!

Welcome! Where did you order your ebike from? I've been eyeing Brilliant Bikes but scared to pull the trigger without physical test.
