Is this ok?

[Fin]

I know Ive got some weight that needs shifting, but I was wondering if this seems ok?

As you can tell, I'm paranoid about going too far,

Hi Fin,
I'd say 15 miles on setting 3, that's pretty good. Depends on terrain, how much effort you're putting in, wind etc. etc.
Last Sunday I rode about 11 miles, on my Ezee conversion, to a little coastal village. This meant a climb out of my village, a descent into and climb out of another valley and a final descent to the coast. After an excellent fish stew and bottle of beer, I set off to climb out of the village. Only half way up the climb out I was down to one red and one yellow light with about 9 miles to get home. Panicking slightly I had to nurse the battery, turning the power of on flats and descents. The battery recovered some voltage during these off times and I made it home with just the red led showing. Total trip 23 miles and a lot of work from me. My battery is now 2 1/2 years old with 182 charges, all partial. Oh and I always ride on setting 2.
I find the difference between 2 and 3 to be substantial on an ezee, I only use 3 on the steepest hills when I'm feeling my age
So, depends on so much more than just you're weight.
I'd say experiment with lower settings and/or no assist at all on flats and slight descents. You'll get fitter and you're range will increase.
Happy cycling.

Thanks for the reply, I did most of it on level two, there's a big hill to get up on the way back so I upped it to three, I can feel the difference between two and three, I hadn't expected such a big difference when I got the bike. I've peddled the bike with no power before, it's not something I'm in any great hurry to repeat

I went out with my fitness fanatic daughter a while ago, I kept it on level five, it just about killed her off to keep up with me I made a point of going right to the top of a grassy hill, .

That's only half the battery, so 30 odd miles is about right.
