I've only a couple of e-bike rides with Beryl for my e-bike experience, and I have to say I'm not a big fan of them. The boost on takeoff from a junction is really handy, I'll give them that, but in general it takes away the whole point of cycling for me. Which is exercise in combination of getting out and about exploring.
Don't get me wrong, they'd be really handy on hills, but they're not for me. Maybe one day, when the body starts to creak even more, then I might look into it but for now, I take great pride in the crafting of the legs. It's taken a lot of doing, and I'm going to have to redo some of that work eventually following an accident a couple of weeks ago. Lots of sitting/lying around lately, in combination with unhealthy food...
Nearly recovered, and soon the bike will come back out. For now, I'm not yet able to go for a ride and even then I'm going to have to dial things back a bit. In a shade over 4 months I did well over 2,200 miles on my beast. No exact figure due to a farce with Google Keep and I've lost a ton of files. Hopefully when I do get back out on it, and I'll ensure it's had a full service with new tyres and all that before then, the weather will stop being so horrendous like it was at the time of the accident!
