W.yorks ebike newby

[Petebreeze49]

Hi,
I'm 71 and a new to ebikes with a ncm Venice bike which I like. I've been following ebikes with interest for many a year and because of the hills around here I found a good reason to buy one. I must say how impressed I am with the motors and batteries nowadays. I just wish they could be lighter but not a great problem with the powerful motors.

Fat Rat,
Thanks for the welcome.
I'm more than happy with my 40 miles plus in hilly terrain with my 625 watt battery. I wonder if they could get to double that range for the same weight in 10, or 20 years time. They better be quick though .
