Please describe how the Pedal Ahead e-bike is benefiting your lifestyle?
I will say that, while I was biking to work fairly frequently before getting the e-bike, the addition of the motor makes it that much easier to bike instead of drive.
-
Are you using the e-bike differently or for more types of rides than you had initially thought?
Nope. I have only used it for commuting to and from work.
-
What is the typical length of your ride (in miles)?
8.5 miles
-
Please describe your most fun e-bike ride or adventure?
I don't think there's anything particularly fun about riding to work, and I can't say that anything of note has happened, aside from sometimes getting honked at. Which is more terrifying than fun!
-
Can you comment on how the Pedal Ahead experience has improved your health and lifestyle?
The more time outside, the better, especially this past year. No real significant changes, though - I was already riding ~80 miles/week on average before. Riding a little more now, but with a bit less effort.
-
Are there any things that have surprised you about riding an electric bicycle? Please describe.
Not particularly. It's quite a nice ride. The first time you go up a hill with pedal assist it ruins you for non- e-bikes, possibly forever.
