Off too a great start this year,,, Tour-ing parts of the Province has been a blast,,, A Load and Go West run is in the works...

Mostly the easy stuff,,, bring a back pack full of goods for the day,,, strap on walking sticks incase the terrain turns nasty...

Throw the bike into the tress and head in on foot...

Its only a few hundred yards too make it too the peaks,,, maybe a little bit of snow in spots...

This is the norm for Our Northern Rocky Mountains if there's kool temps up top during the days and night's...

It looks like the West Country is a tad chilly this year which adds the fun...

Bring the fixings and make a camp for a few nights...

Beer,,, Bike,,, Bears

What could Wrong...

I rigged up one of my all time fav's

I'll use it for industrial runs... All good if it takes nicks,,, scuff and scratch'es and I won't have too worry about dirt and grit...

Old Thrasher Bike is back on line...

Look out Jacques Patine'ee... lol

Local ride,,, get my old set of wheels dialed in once again...

+17,,, partly blue skys,,, flats and roll'es,,, 20 ish miles slow pace,,, 4 hours with 3 Cofffeee Vokacheeno breaks...

I rad'ed a few parking lots,,, zig-zagg'ed the side-streets,,, Hooligan'ed the back ally's

The volunteer fire crew was recruiting up & comers,,, they were practicing some skills training...

Streets were pretty quiet tonight,,, nill for traffic,,, seen a few trail users...

All in All a great evening ...

Awesome. They are a lot of fun, Harley’s sit while the old guys rip. Feels too good to get a pump on and elevate the heart rate.

So Rookie Question, is there weight ratings on these things?

Not necessarily. Only downside to being a big guy is battery. With a fat tire style bike they all come with pretty hardy batteries. My thousand watt fat tire will take me about 65 km on a full charge if I do lots of hills and climbs with peddling. Flat ground, it would probably easily do 100 K.
The downhill bikes like the one I just posted for my niece I believe is rated up to 250 pounds.
Bruce is around 250lbs.
They haul him no problems.

^^^ That's one wicked bike brother,,, the niece will be happy on that unit...

A hard tail eMTB was on my list of what might work,,, I'm glad I did f.s. even though a larger % of my rides are on standard terrain...

I definitely got my money's worth out of yesterday's ride,,, it f.s for summer time rides...

Too many curves,,, ledges and short drops once in awhile,,, having the rear suspension is a bonus in those situations...

I could chosen a hard tail but I'm sure i would of out grown it...

The f.s. design deffinatly adds too a plush ride,,, silky Smooooooth indeed...

 

[catmando]

No worries Tyler, mine is a not to fancy bike ( good American entry level lol ) I get about 40 k out of mine and the battery is still half and I recharge it. K, Again mines like a 1500 dollar bike. Paved trails with me peddling now and then.

that's kind of what I'm thinking I need Lyle, I've now seen north of 300 and need to get active and get myself back down.

Our family friend Eril Sargent is closing in on his 40 k mark on a 2021 e-townie ...

He ate up 1 internal 7 speed gear hub,,, 5 sets of brakes,,, 7 tire tubs and 100's of patches...
Only a few tires... 1 plastic gears in the internal...

The mid drive is original less the inn

He can't believe the factory battery is hanging in there ... lol

Eril said the townie mid drive has lived a hard life,,, he was 2 Summer's and 1 winter racking up the miles...

Eril rocks this stuff,,,, not according too his wife he's not
