jexner<p>Today's ride, the perfect definition of 'more than you bargained for'. I wanted to hit 2000m elevation for the week, and I was at ~950, so I thought I'd take the eeb and just go up the Blauen twice, battery permitting.<br>At the top, I found loads of wild strawberries, had a chat with a nice hiker, and all was good. <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eBike</span></a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/AfternoonRide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AfternoonRide</span></a></p>

Gemma gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭<p>My RadMission <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a> came with a whole toolkit of low quality tools, but as I look at my bicycle, The only tools it actually seems to need are 3 mm allen wrench only for control mounts, 4 mm and 5 mm allen wrenches for most things, a 6 mm allen wrench only for the saddle clamp, a 15 mm pedal wrench, and an 18 mm rear axle wrench (6" Crescent should cover these). I need a patch kit/tire levers (haven't had a flat in decades), and a CO2 inflator, a few zip ties for the motor cable. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
Maxwell (it/its)<p>When I decided to buy an e-bike I had a feeling that it would be like it was when I got my first bicycle years ago, which I long felt was the best decision I ever made for myself.</p><p>I thought better of it and tempered my expectations.</p><p>Having ridden my new bike for over a month though, I have to say that I was right.</p><p>E-bikes are fucking amazing and I'm really glad that I got this one in particular.</p><p>I have the confidence to go much further and up steep grades. Though I take advantage of the added power when I need it, I'm making a habit of riding with pedal assist turned off. One charge of the battery lasts pretty much forever and I never feel like I can't overcome any hill.</p><p>I've become noticeably fitter. I'm considerably faster. It's actually getting difficult to keep my heart rate up as high as it was when I was cycling before.</p><p>Bicycles are awesome machines, providing cheap and efficient transportation, but adding a bit of electric power when it's needed unlocks so much more potential.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/EBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EBike</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a></p>
