Wheeze-arama

I thought I'd try and see how far I could go on a single battery charge on the PowaCycle Salisbury. Turns out it's just over two and a half round trips to the station (around 3 miles each way). The half becomes important when it's just before the major uphill section of the route home! Blimey is it difficult without the pedelec assistance! I was still panting and wheezing when I got home. So I now know to recharge the battery every two days.

Obviously the range is less than advertised for the flat but since I do have a major hill that shouldn't be a surprise. Overall I'm still pretty pleased with the bike as without the pedelec mode it's clear I wouldn't be making the trip by bike at all!
