Hi,
my names Graham and I live in the Southmead area of North Bristol and have become more and more frustrated with the 3 miles commute to work
- no parking available at work so park on roads and 0.5 mile walk in
- showers available at work but taking clothes in is a hassle on a push bike
- fuel costs are becoming unreasonable £20 a week (2l petrol auto car)
The metro will allow me to park on site at work and allow a shorter 2.2 mile route including cycle paths.
I went for my first ride this morning ( with my wife Mandy following on a scooter - I am a complete newbie to ebikes, but have used motorbikes and push bikes in the past).
First impressions are good on a 5.5 mile ride. The battery level readout dropped alarmingly to start with, to nearly half, but recovered to a 2 thirds when I stopped.
So about 15 mile range on a single battery, used heavily and unrestricted on speed.
Will let you know how my first week using it for real turns out
