Electric bicycles come into their own when pulling away from traffic lights etc much quicker, ie; not holding other vehicles up, plus you can maintain your speed up steep hills without breaking into a sweat etc. Once you start using an electric bike you'd never go back to a standard bike. I still pedal most of the time, but usually on the lightest electrical assistance, so I still get plenty of exercise It's one of the best buys I've ever made. -- Bod |

Clear off to an electric bike group /foaming troll I think it's too tempting to get seduced by a simple pull of a throttle, rather than pushing yourself up that last few yards - and before long you'll be saying to yourself "what's the point in lugging a heavy battery around if you're not going to use it?". It then becomes just a mobility scooter. Repent now! |

Electric bicycles come into their own when pulling away from traffic lights etc much quicker, ie; not holding other vehicles up, plus you can maintain your speed up steep hills without breaking into a sweat etc. Once you start using an electric bike you'd never go back to a standard bike.

Should I commit suicide now? If so, suggest a quick method. -- Bod |
