So I'm on the edge of the North York Moors, and I had a little ride into the moors this morning and was just struck how much fun it is on an e-bike. Cycling up one of the long hills , I caught up with a Lycra clad road cyclist and it just looked like really hard work, whereas I could do this in normal clothes and I was getting some exercise but it wasn't killing me. The sun was out and the little single track roads were deserted and it was super fun

The 27 mph was going down a steep hill I hasten to point out. I had a look at the profile

There's no way I'm doing that on an analogue bike and it estimated it would take twice the time, and I would be knackered when I came back.
(This was on a 48v hub bike with a 15 amp controller - s o hub bikes can do hills !)
