Just a little reminder to electric bike riders: Be careful on these things! While camping last weekend, I went for a ride with my grand daughter and crashed.
Riding on an asphalt path on a hillside, my front wheel drifted off the edge of the pavement and hit the dirt. I lost traction and went flying. Lucky I didn't break anything but got banged up. At 74 yrs old, I don't recover as fast and didn't walk too well for a couple of days. It was my own fault. I was going faster than I should have and didn't have the ability to control this nearly 100 lbs bike when I lost traction. I was lucky I'm not in the hospital right now.
yes, on the e bikes it's easy to go faster than you would on a regular bike. Not sure about a 100lb ebike, ours are a typical "heavy" e bike at 52lbs each. And have hydraulic disk brakes. those hydraulic disks work much faster and more controllable than the mechanical disk brakes my regular bike had.
