Anybody Have Other Hobbies Besides Motorcycles??

Kofla,
 I think because of their weight, mine is about 88 lbs, they are harder to pedal without battery assist or if the battery is dead. I haven't drained the battery yet, but I did have it cut out while climbing a very steep switch back dirt road leading to a look out tower at the top. I still had over 90% battery but couldn't use it until the battery cooled down. A built in safety feature I believe. Pedalling it up the rest of the way with no assist wasn't going to happen.

When I was working as a bicycle mechanic Ebikes were just coming out. That store refused to work on them because they were heavy and you could not clamp them into a conventional bicycle repair stand.
