Hi, February this year I bought an electric mountain bike.
I ride bikes anyway but I'm too lazy to ride to work everyday only 16 miles in total but hilly. The commute would take me approx 1 hour on a normal mountain bike.
I don't like burning fossil fuels and also I don't enjoy driving to work.
So basically I ride to work on an "ebike" everyday now. I have done for the last month or so and I'm loving it.
If anyone on here is thinking about buying one of these things, do it! Do your research first though.
The bike is amazing, I have been doing red routes at forestry sites and commuting on the same bike. Its a great way to meet new people and the light exercise really chills me out.
I went for a ride yesterday, 41 miles in total, took me 3 hours and I only used between 40-60% battery.
Get one from a decent brand/bike shop and you cant go wrong.
Absolutely love it though. Even though it was expensive, it was definately worth it. You get to see stuff that you wouldn't notice in a car, yesterday I spotted a shrew and a heron! It was amazing to see a massive heron just standing in the middle of the path, obviously it didn't wait around for me but its easily the closest I've ever been to one. It was huge!
