    And you know what its great fun!

    More importantly its allowed me to ride regularly and longer with a long term injury.

    So far so good its a Trek Powerfly FS7, it climbs well and descends well. Its never going to be as good as my five as there is a hell of a lot of weight on the frame. Its also going to struggle on range for technical rides over 40 miles.

    Overall really happy!

    Another thumbs up from me.

    You will get used to the battery range, using eco mode will give you the confidence to ride further.

    Have you got a 400w or 500w battery?

    I have both, if I go for a long ride then I’ll put the spare battery in my backpack.

    Great fun, but not the same handling as a non pedal assist bike though.

    But….but…aren’t they just for lazy fatties? I’m sure someone on here said so….!

    Its a 500w battery. Even with my buggered knee Eco is normally fine for moderate climbs and if I go for sport mode I’m too fast for my riding buddy!

    I have rarely used the turbo mode (apart from the prerequisite showing off!)

    Samwise was getting grumpy at one point being used to always being the first up!

    ….and a whole load of Strava KOMs to come.
