Oh I'll use it. Most people who try assist like it, so if you're a purist about pedal-only then don't get on an ebike ;) At 43 pounds I wouldn't want to lug it all over a train station every day, but that's not what I bought it for. It just arrived and I disconnected the front bag-with-battery and took it upstairs, then came back down for the bike. With just the motor weight, it isn't much heavier to carry than my Appaloosa with stuff in bags and and a full water bottle.
The plan is to use it for shopping trips around here, which is basically a giant drop down to town, then a giant push back home, plus maybe I'll put it in my itty bitty Fiat 500 for a trip to Mt. Diablo occasionally. I've always been a pretty slow rider, which has only been aided and abetted in recent years by age and lack of riding time, and I just don't have the patience anymore for grinding out endless hills; it's the kind of thing that tends to talk me out of riding. I'll report back after I've put a few rides on it. Slow Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
