I have just retired and thought that I ought to get out around the countryside a bit more in an attempt to get a bit fitterand lose the paunch. I do have an old Raleigh folder but it is not very comfortable and I was afraid that, with my current level of fitness, I would run out of puff and leg strength to get home so decided to think about getting an electric bike.
I have spent ages looking at this forum and elsewhere to decide what to do so, as it was a fine day, decided to put the top down on the car and go to Bodium to see E-Bikes Direct.
I tried a couple of bikes and was amazed at just how easy they were to ride. Eventually I decided on a Whisper 905se City and it was delivered to me this afternoon - excellent service. After reading about Wisper bikes I had really thought that this was what I would buy, the real doubt was whether I would fit or not, having short legs. With the saddle just above its lowest point I am absolutely fine.
Now I have got the bike, are there any tips for getting the best out of it?
Thanks to all on the forum for the unwitting help they have given me.
