New e-bike!

I have a new toy :-) An electric bicycle! My camera thinks it's too dark to take a picture, but anybody interested can see them at Scootamore's web page until I manage to get a picture of this one. It's the Classic style.

Thanks to leecetheartist and rdm for coming along and asking various questions I forgot to ask and helping me ensure that the bike I got was the best one I could find.

I'd thought to take it home on the train but peak hour arrived, during which bikes are not allowed on trains, and so I had to ride it from Subiaco to Bassendean! It wasn't fully powered and the assistance conked somewhere between Bayswater and Ashfield, but it did fairly well even so.

Subi to city took 17 minutes and then city to Bassendean another 50, most of that probably taken up by the distance pedalled without assistance. I look forward to riding it to work, probably when they finish renovations and we get the showers back!

I'm also pleased to have finally managed to do something I've planned for months!
