I'm learning to manage my battery better as time goes by. I find pedalling on power assist level 1 is more than I need in most cases. I often pedal with no power at all and just use the electric assist for a boost when getting back up to speed after a stop, for climbing hills, or for strong headwinds. If I get tired at the end of my ride, or just want to show off, I can use the higher assist levels, or go 100% throttle. With this pattern I can easily travel over 30 kms.
My new speed record is 49 kph on a downhill. I could've gone faster, but there was a red light at the bottom of the hill and I had to slow down. My town doesn't have many hills, so I'm not able to test the downhill capabilities too often. I'm certain I'll be able to get to 50-something if the conditions are right.
I'm planning a ride with a go pro soon. I'll post the video once I have it.
On a different note, I enjoy people's positive reactions to the bike. Lots of people are very excited by the technology and ask lots of questions. The best reactions come from kids. They tend to light up and and say "cool!" a lot. The bike is a double whammy. The fatbike aspect makes a big impression all by itself, and when you add the electric motor to it, you have something that is impressive to many people. Of course, there are also those sour apples (always adults) who say things like "well, that defeats the point of a bicycle, doesn't it?" I just ignore those types of reactions, which are in the minority.
I really need to get a seatpost suspension. The roads here are in horrible shape and my butt is paying a big price. Riding more and more, I am realizing just how bad the roads are. In a car you don't notice it as much. On a bike you see the crumbling roads up close and personal.
