Bucky, you could just peddle that bike, right?
I could peddle the e-bike but the thing is heavy. The battery alone probably weighs around 10 lbs and it's locked to the frame until I call the locksmith to pick the lock. My town is very hilly so going down hill is no problem, it's pumping uphill that knocks the wind out of you.
I also have a regular peddle bike. Aluminum frame mountain/trail bike and it weighs at least half as much as the e-bike. I lent it out to a neighbor kid this summer and he screwed up the derailleurs so I'll have to take it to the local bike shop for a tune up.
I did find the e-bike battery charger tonight. It was right there where I put it last... right next to the mountain bike so I wouldn't forget it (duh, you idiot! forehead slap!) A replacement charger on is on order. Expected delivery date is by the end of the week. I guess I could try to cancel it but it's only 20 or 30 bucks. Not worth the hassle. Plus, in case I forget where I put it again (in another logical place) I'll have a spare one.
Calling for tropical heat and humidity this week and I'm not looking forward to it.
