@@shootthechit I used to ride 60 miles a day, rain or shine. I liked riding in blizzards too. During our record setting blizzard, I should have lost my hands and feet to frostbite. God allowed me to keep them. I was immediately put on a big prayer chain. Thunderstorms were a no no.
@@shootthechit Fun and fitness. I was in great shape. I also love adrenaline and I made sure I got plenty of it during those fast rides. My intuition was crazy and I didn't bother looking while playing in rush hour traffic. I knew if I was going to get mangled or end up in a coffin. I'd stop if I knew that. Why look when you have unbelievable intuition and know whether you're safe or not? That produced big adrenaline rushes.

Those melons appear to be the desert watermelon (aka, Coyote melon). They are technically edible, but taste pretty awful. They're only good enough for the coyotes to eat. Not the type of melons you want to take home...
I saw what you posted at the end, but was it actually that hard to pedal the bike even when you put it in like second gear or third gear? I guess if you had to go uphill that would be pretty impossible, but otherwise it wasn’t too bad, was it?
great range! pretty much what i get out of my new freedom with dual batteries although i was afraid to ride it until it was completely dead...fat tire bikes are brutal without pedal assist.
Hey Chit! Not trying to be that a****** but I got a few comments about long rides I used to do 50 to 60 mi every single day. Maybe take one day off but average 300 mi a week I got 42,000 miles since 2018 when I first got my juiced bike... bought seven all together So yeah 60 mi a day is a lot. I went down to 50 miles which I currently do almost every single day I'm in great shape but got to warn you My doctor says I have carpal tunnel now in both wrists and I'm having to get an epidural for my back but I ain't stopping. It's too fun. Maybe I'll tune it down to 40 mi a day of hard riding. This bike is coming in a couple of weeks and I like to come in with empty batteries I should have started my own channel a long time ago but I'm too lazy. I'm just out there having fun. I don't even want to work anymore. Stay safe

looks like you were in pedal assist 4 or 5 so not sure if its a true range test but good to know what kind of range you can get with running a good speed.
