Efficient

I’m loving my new eBike!  My honey bought the eBike for me, a Rad Rover fat tire mountain bike at Rad Power Bikes in Ballard (Seattle), Washington.  It’s my ride around my town on the westside, west of the West Seattle Bridge.  I can get around town in 20 minutes in no time and I don’t have to worry about parking. 

I sometimes hear complaints from other cyclists or mountain bike enthusiasts, under their breath, “that’s cheating!”  For me, it’s not cheating because I’m getting a workout pedaling a bike that’s over 70 pounds, plus I ride with no pedal assist when it’s flat most of the time.  Living here in Seattle there’s hills to conquer for any vehicle or bike.  If there’s a hill or obstacle I need to get over, then I will up the pedal assist while I crank my wheel.  I don’t sit idle like a motorcycle or moped. I’m working it with my own leg muscles and it’s a full body workout! 

It makes me happy to ride my eBike through town with ease and convenience.  I love it!
