1. It makes the hills easy to climb. I would struggle with Tryon, Nelson and Culworth on my push bike but the e-bike makes it effortless.
2. I wish it had indicator signals. Using arms to signal left and right turn is a pain.
3. Still very conscious of sharing the road with cars, and overall safety. Because I’m not moving quickly, I sometimes pull over to let cars pass.
4. Our roads are great for cars but some are not so good for cyclists. Need good wheels and suspension.
5. It takes a lot longer to get to places, but if you have the time it’s a great way to check out the neighbourhood.
My first thoughts on this eight week eBike trial.
