Hi all. New fella here. Just got the above from Halfords the other week (imaginative, I know). Using it for a lengthy commute (10 miles) and my knees ain't what they were. Always used a bike to get about but I was never out to set records. Just needed decent local transport.
Have to say thay so far I'm really happy with the bike but the route I have to use to work is very 'urban' with all the associated broken glass left over from the little darlings big night out. I have thought of replacing the tyres with punture proof tyres but I have been told it will really affect the speed/distance I will get out of my shiny new toy.
Has anyone put punture proof tyres on an ebike and noticed a big change for the worst? If I have to keep on dodging the shrapnel so be it but I would like to do something about it if I can. Not at the expense of the bikes performance though. Cheers F
