I pedal most of the time when I'm joy riding. The slower I'm going the more effective it is. On this ride I never got above 35 mph, so I was able to keep up pedaling the whole way. Above 35 it gets progressively more difficult for me to keep up. I can actually pedal all the way to 50, but at that cadence I run out of breath pretty fast. 30 mph is my sweet spot. I can add the most assist under 15 mph.Nice! How much peddling did you do during your trip? What was the terrain like?
Riding with one, or a group of friends is always big fun, but honestly in 50 years of riding I've found it to be a solitary endeavor 99% of the time. I guess I'm used to it by now.biknut, you may have just promoted me to just go out and ride,
If Lynn ever gets that invoice to me so I can fix my wheel....
Honestly I haven't just gone for a ride sense I was 12. Bikes have always been a mode of transportation and exercise (at the same time) for me, probably because I always seem to be the only one with a bike.
I think I just figured out why the idea of a back seat has such appeal to me now! lol.
It's because that's from the federal regulations, but it's not ever going to be a factor. Who's going to carry a scale around to weigh your bike? Who's even going to care?I totally havent read all 106 pages in this texas riding blog, and there may be a better place for this, but I was just reading about Electric bicycle laws in texas.... and apparently they cant be over 100LBS?!
what malarkie is this? thats like my batteries, back seat, and motor alone maybe :S
Is this just something Ive overlooked in my brief brush with the texas laws, or is it something relatively new?
Sec. 541.201. Vehicles.
(24) "Electric bicycle" means a bicycle that:
(A) is designed to be propelled by an electric motor, exclusively or in combination with the application of human power;
(B) cannot attain a speed of more than 20 miles per hour without the application of human power; and
(C) does not exceed a weight of 100 pounds.
I dont expect to be stopped by the cops, and if I do Honestly I really only expect them to be curious. I especially would be caught off gaurd by a cop with a scale XD
