OK here's the story 
Since the weather was so nice today, I decided to take my electric bike to the park. After riding around the park for half an hour, I soon got bored and felt the urge to ride on the road. I've only ever ridden on the road twice with an instructor and I didn't feel too confident. So I decided to go back home whilst whilst riding on the road since it was only 5 minutes away. However as soon as I reached home, I went right past it and decided to ride to the end of the road. Once I got to the end of the road, I thought it would be a good idea to visit my sister who lives 3 miles away. The journey to my sister's house was incredible and I rode aggressively. I think I underestimated myself and didn't realise how good I am at looking back and signalling. I felt aware of my surroundings and my actions.
Then I stayed at my sister's house for a couple of hours and she said she would give me a lift back home since it was dark and I've never ridden in the dark. But the bicycle wouldn't fit in her mini and I had no choice but to ride back home. I enjoyed the journey home. It was scary at times but overall I've learned that as long as I ride aggressively and not let drivers intimidate me, things aren't as bad as I initially thought.
As for the performance of the bike, even though it is heavy, I was able to ride it without the motor running on flat surface for a minute or two before exhausting myself I rode on low setting and it's really not as fast as I feared. At times I thought it was quite slow and I occasionally switched to medium.
I can't wait to ride again tomorrow.
