My new bike

24 Sep 2022 103
It's the red one -- and I love it. It is a typical american bike with a muscular motor and a comfy seat -- much different from the sporty european models. A large tank also provides good range, especially when you're cruising and avoid racing at top speeds. Some of the tech specs : -) The motor's peak power is 1450W, possibly more. It is rated to sustain 750W. -) The 52V, 19.2Ah (1000Wh) battery provides at least 30mi range when driving at speeds close to 25mph. Slow down to 20mph, and range greatly increases. EU regulations often limit bikes to 25km/h (16mph) -) The torque- & cadence sensor combination adjusts the motor's power very intuitively, avoiding unexpected accelerations found in cheap eBikes -) eBikes imported from the EU do not include a manual throttle -- the US bike has one and I find it very useful. You can ride with pedal assist and get up to speeds of 28mph ("Class 3"). Using the throttle and no pedal assist, the max speed it limited to 20mph ("Class 2"). Both are much higher than the 16mph (25km/h) limit imposed in the EU. -) Having a throttle also is useful to add a quick boost to accelerate at intersections and keep up with traffic on city streets with a 25mph speed limit. -) This eBike is tailored for use on a road and aimed at higher speeds -- very different from many eMTB mountain eBike designs. It has large-diameter rims, narrower tires and a gear shift with large transmission ratio allowing for a slower, more comfortable cadence to reach the speeds of 20...25mph on paved surfaces With all these extras, it is more expensive than the cheap, no-name eBikes sold on Amazon. Compared to imported EU sports bikes it has twice the performance and costs only about half. It makes biking convenient, fast & fun and I use it now most of the time, leaving the car at home (until the rains move in). . IMG 20220922 bib

At the time of the peak fall colors, there also is a classic cars show causing a severe crunch in available hotel rooms. And extreme room rates .

That weekend was nearly perfect -- some areas still were green while some patches had turned yellow and already even orange. .
