A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

First you can buy eBikes a lot cheaper than this one. Second - riding an eBike is still exercise

250W is only really enough power to cruise on the flat at a modest pace. Chances are you're used to going faster and will still choose to put in the effort to get a bit mor pace. It's also not really enough to get up a steep hill, so you're going to have to help out.

You just won't break a sweat anymore riding up the hills. And on the flat you'll be able to take a 2 minute break by just slowing down abit - no need to stop. And a headwind won't ruin your ride.
