"Well that was fun" easy job made hard by not knowing how a device is supposed to function. Lock smith I'm not but gained a little the slow and hard way. In the end I learned something else about how devices work and the switch operates well for my purpose. Two hours for a fifteen minute job, Old guy speed, at least this Old guy.
Three mile victory lap completed and nothing fell off the bike or stopped working, including me. Sweet taste of success, but saw a couple of things that would make using the electric more enjoyable. All in all hybrid setup works as I anticipated and pedal free startups going uphill are now easy. Twenty five mile morning adventure planned for early tomorrow and that's my idea of a operational test.
Handling and speed seem about the same as before though the weight is about 30 lbs. more and actually pedaling is noticeably more difficult. I'll weigh the bike on commercial scales, but guess about 90 lbs. Photos later. looking at 100 + degrees over the next two days and high humidity, but it's been cool all Spring and abnormally wet so summer is on us at last.
