    Great move, guys. An eBike has changed my life. I got a gently used Trek Domane LT+ 2 years ago and it has reignited my dwindling cycling spirit. You're definitely candidates for a second.
    In a previous life I was a hardcore cyclist, you'd say. Rode across the country twice, 6 years of high level competition, commuted by bike ~50 weeks of the year (Upstate NY, no less).
    But now In my 60s the knees are getting a little tired, my body's gotten a little tired (and three's more of it), but the hills here are still the same, and the thought of getting out on the road was becoming drudgery.
    36 volts 7Ah 256 Wh and I can ride at least two hours with judicious use of the motor.
    And finish smiling for once!

      Nice! It really does make a difference. We were never in the shape that it sounds like you were, but we are pleasantly surprised at how much more enjoyable it is to ride now!

    Nice review. Now you need one more so two can explore the Adirondacks together. Pack a lunch and bear spray. Lol

    That particular bike @ 36 volts isn't capable of much really but it would be good in the city in the summer. Out there where you are in the winter that battery won't last long at all and the muddy terrain and hills will make for short trips. SStill cool that you sent you one to review.

      It definitely would be better on 'flat land', but believe it or not, it definitely helps because I could never ride a bike up our driveway before! ~Kathie

    Maybe the age thing was refering to the younger ones that have too much screen time. 😃 Anyway, I think another company should offer you a second bike to review. Tons of fun. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

      Maybe it was indeed :-) Definitely tons of fun and hoping for another one so we can have some fun together!

    I predicted Kathy was going to fall. The seat was too high, excuse. Lol

    Sweet ride! It probably would be great here on long Island.
    Seems like you guys are more in quadrunner country. Maybe Honda could send you one to review. 😂

    Yeah, then came the snow. I plowed the drive (900') twice. I've considered electric bikes (folding type) to stuff in the aircraft trunk so we have some transport when we travel around. Haven't been able to find a model small enough to fit 2 bikes in the plane though.

      Oh, the snow. LOL. You're driveway is definitely longer than ours and it is a task to plow. Rich tried the blower but he ended up using the ATV with the plow because the snow was too heavy and sticky for the blower...As far as bikes go they do have a lot of folding ones available out there, but I don't know how big your storage on the plane is...but they really are fun and it would be nice to have one to get around when you land somewhere.

    Lucky it was a slow speed slow motion fall. Don’t forget to always wear a helmet 👍

    Looks like fun, guys! Do you have some helmets, too? Would be a good addition. 🙂

      Thanks! and yes, we do have them in storage somewhere. We are hoping to find them once the snow melts more!

    This looks like fun too bad they didn’t give you two bikes, so you could try it together😊
