hi all took my vita uno mtb style ebike for a ride today, checked to see gears etc are working ok, steering was a bit vague (then noticed front tyre wrong way round on rim)
tried assist level 1 ok for starting off from stationary, then tried a steep hill ,but got stuck on start off as I could not get enough momentum to get the bike moving, used throttle then level 3 to get peddling and climb hill.
overall I found its not too bad a matter of choosing the correct rear cog when using the 32 front chainring.
so I coasted down hills (no assist) on flat level ground (no assist) it was not as bad as I thought it would be for 46lbs weight. and fat tyres .
did 2 rides 12 miles in total a few hundred yards of level 3 up slopes still 4 reds showing on display.
people have said to me I don't want an ebike, ill get no exercise because I wont be peddling? I found even with assist especially level 1 I was putting in a fair bit of effort on the flat to get anywhere near 15 mph
