Thanks for the mention. Folks have a variety of ways of coping with traffic. Sounds like you found a good one.
I purchased an e-bike that I tool around on.
It’ll do 25 mph and get me between 20 and 30 miles on a charge.
I enjoy it a lot.
It’s has the off road 4” tires. I can go about anywhere on it. In California I’ve ridden it near Yosemite, on Jalama Beach, and in the foothills from Glendale to the top of La Crescenta.
Being able to peddle it, I get a fair bit of exercise, while being able to back off and let it do the work if I need to.
Nice. Some of my buddies that were salescritters at El Cajon Harley opened a shop near Old Town in San Diego. They have Zero electrics, some Enfield and some Triumph bikes. Zero keeps getting better. They have on and off-road flavors. Enjoy and be careful. I've dropped from 191 lbs to 146 lbs in the last couple years. A lighter bike (SR400 is 381 lbs) might be easier than my Fat Bob at 870 lbs. Have to wait for the icy streets to melt off before riding again. Overnight was +26F and left a sheet of ice on my driveway and the street beyond the driveway. I'll wait for Spring.
