>>1028761Rode a kalkhoff for a while commuting, and I thought it was a very enjoyable experience. Most days I would just ride it on "ECO", which would be a comfortable ride but still pretty fast because of the electric support. The idea was that, living near the ocean, some days the wind is just unbearable and I could just up the electric support to "SPORT" or "POWER" and get considerably more behind it to still get there in the same trip time
It still felt kind of like cheating, and I still always rode around 30-32km/h even though it was capable of going about 55km/h on the max mode (but short range)
Total range on eco was about 120k's I think.
In the end I sold it and bought a race bike and I do about the same time, I would never ride an e-bike for anything other than commuting, but it was definitely an enjoyable ride. And I think e-bikes are a very cool way for older riders to still be able to ride with younger riders when their legs have gone
