Just another trip to town. This time for a meeting of the Gloucester Project. This is a not for profit community organization that is trying to promote sustainable local economic development through agriculture - among other things.
It felt right turning up on a bike - not in a car.
The meeting went well and though there was the 30k cycle before it did not leave me wasted. In fact I felt energized. I was also really looking forward to the ride home.
I'm averaging about 25 kph over hilly terrain and using about 2/3 of a battery to cover the 30 k into town using the boost setting . No problems with recharging the battery in town and recharge times are about what Gazelle quotes.
Interestingly, the batteries, even after weeks of storage while not in use, were fully charged when I took them out of storage.
I must admit that I was tired by the time I got home. This bike is no free ride, but it is a comfortable tiredness, rather than being stuffed. Not bad for a 60 k ride after more than a month when I had no opportunity to ride at all.
