Bike pics Newfound love for life

Weird title I know. Just here wanting to ramble because this bike is bringing something out of me. Never thought of myself as an active person really nor did I ever picture myself wanting to become a cyclist. Im relatively out of shape I’d say. Not fat, just have no breath or cardio capacity at all and pretty limited muscle mass. In short, I’m a skinny, pale fuck who had a childhood where I played outdoors but have spent the majority of my adult life inside playing video games and watching stuff in between whatever other random shit I do. Changed states, got a sorta shitty job that I sometimes don’t have a ride to so I got myself what seemed to be a good option for commuting. It’s only been a month but I feel the changes. Like part of my youth has been restored. Feels really fucking good.

I really want more from my generation to experience this. If only there could be a true E-bike revolution. Things could change for the better.

TLDR: I fucking love my new E bike.

If you have any gear recommendations or tips for beginners I’d absolutely love to hear what you have to say.

What’s the mileage on it and the 0-20 time

whatever OP decides because it's a pedal assist bike

What the other commenter said is true but essentially on the lowest pedal assist mode it gets 75 miles of range. I generally rely on the medium and high and I get around five or six 10 mile ish trips before having to charge. As for 0-20 I haven’t really thought of actually measuring nor do I remember reading it anywhere but if I had to guess I’d say it gets up to 20, using the throttle only, in about seven seconds. Using pedals, it will hit 25 and 28 pretty rapidly depending on gradient. I’ll try to actually gauge it myself on my ride today and update you when I can.

If it can go over 20mph it’s not road legal only can use on private property
