Personally, I think mixing an e-bike into a group ride - fast or recreational - kinda defeats the purpose of the group's ride. I wouldn't do it, but them again I don't do group rides so this isn't an issue I need to sort out. I electrified one of my bikes because I think it's fun. It's not going to do 15mph for 50 miles, which is ok because I don't do that on regular bikes, either.
Where it's made the biggest difference in my life is this: I used to have days on my big hill where I blew off a ride because I just didn't feel like doing that long, slow slog home, so I ended up on the couch. Now those days become assisted rides where I'm still outside and still pedaling. Upgrade! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
