Smiles for miles Order the range extender now if you can. I think you have to have it shipped to a shop. Send it to me and I’ll get it to you.

The rise is very well liked. Based on the Occam which is also well liked


Good times ahead.

What is the commuter that you posted earlier in this thread? My commute is ~10 miles which feels increasingly silly to drive.
 
I'm in FL - I thought ebikes were allowed everywhere down here. But not familiar with that park.
Would be awesome if they're allowed everywhere in the state. I've only been to Mala Compra and Santos and both times I had my acoustic bikes and I didn't see an ebikes when I was there.

I know they are allowed at Santos. Pretty sure it is state law that ebikes are allowed anywhere analog bikes are.
 
If you don't follow my thread, I bought an E Commuter. Turbo VadoSL EQ. I did 3 Commutes on it this week, which is 30 miles round trip, and it's been a blast. The ability to get a hard workout in during one of the rides is very, very real. On Wednesday the battery died and I had to pedal a 50lb Hybrid up all the hills into Summit wearing a pair of Teva Moccasins 🤣

I swapped the pedals to a proper MTB flat pedal and installed a wider flat bar so it feels more natural.

I set the Modes to be 25/50/75. I stay in Sport except for hills. You need to run it in Turbo to make it uphill because it's heavy. Especially loaded with snacks and lunch and clothes and a lock, etc...

I save $20 in gas each day I don't drive the Camaro. I can use that saved money to buy donuts during the week, and do more donuts in the Camaro on the weekend. SmilesPerGallon.

That bike weighs 50 lbs? I thought an e-commuter would weight a lot less than an e-MTB.
