Well this is kind of an interesting thing. I have decided to ride my e bike more so that i can work off a little of this winter fat.
The ebike on the flat will do about ten miles an hour. I just bought and hooked up a controller and throttle hoping to improve the range but I was too tired to test it today. I did ride it a couple of miles and the controller is cool.
First of all after I carefully installed it I had to hot wire it lol. There is a lock out circuit. If you don't want to use it, you have to stick a paper clip in to block it out.
So after riding it and getting a postal lady tell me how cool it was dragging the batteries behind me, and a neighbor telling me she needed to ride her bike more, i have decided to buy a solar panel. No not to charge the batteries but to hide them when I ride. I figure that will get a lot more comments than two lawn and garden tractor batteries.
I put the bike on the bike trail a couple of times. One time the chain broke, but I could fix it with my handy dandy vice grips. the second time the trailer came loose and I got a nice break looking for the nut so that I could get it home. I'm two for two with it as well.
When i ride it within a mile of home nothing ever happens. I can't say that about the gasoline bike.
