And I'm looking forward to this one. We have seven different gears. We have pedal assist. We have a throttle. Got a nice little back rack. And yeah, I'm ready to see what this bike can do. Let's go for a ride. All right, off we go. I'm currently in pedal assist one, and I'm just gonna turn around. This is a nice, easy, light, oops, spike. I didn't drive error on that. So yeah, I've got pedal assist one on right now. I know why they call it relaxed, because I certainly am. I mean, the way that your hands easily rest on the handlebars is great. And squeaky brakes. Off we go. So I'm starting on a little hill. I'm going to pedal assist too. I'm happy with pedal assist, minimal effort going up hills or getting to the top of the hill. So I'm easily going to click down to pedal assist one. Yeah, this is a nice bike. The pedal assist really makes it easy for you just to go out and enjoy a nice bike ride.</span></p>","id":"8ea69605-33c5-4417-a5eb-7383704f8f49"},{"layoutId":"bike-listing","variants":{},"bikes":[{"id":"492df251-8078-4ae3-8af4-62fa507d6952","value":{"entry":{"entryId":"5W6fsDqyEsa7jeWu9ugNFd"}}}],"id":"156e6291-a7f0-4c16-99fd-4d8044adcc1b"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"","body":"<p class=\"ql-align-justify\"><span style=\"color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: transparent;\">This particular bike has a throttle option as well, which I try to use when I'm starting or if I'm in a position where maybe the hill's getting a little rough. But if you can optimize using the appropriate gear and pedal assist, you'll get longer battery life. Oh my gosh, it's just gorgeous out today. Too bad it's not clearer because I can see the ocean from here. There's another truck coming kind of fast. So when I'm going from a hard stop to just going, that's when I like to use the throttle. I don't have to pedal at all. Oh, let's ride around this nice park. This bike has some kick to it, but it's nice and light too. Do you want me to go through the park or around the block? the crosswalk? Yeah. Okay. Look at that little puppy. Go ahead. I'm going to turn up that way. Hi puppy. Lots of little puppies on this ride. What's that? Use my throttle just to get going a little bit. It's easy to navigate this bike. So I feel safe with little kids around. So you could either, like right now, I'm on pedal assist two, I could easily be on pedal assist one, and I probably should be. But as you can see, there are turns on here. And I'm actually gonna stop because somebody is coming with me. Oh, okay. I'll show you how to ride the bike on the grass. So as you can tell, I went up a hill pretty easily, which I would not have been able to do manually.</span></p>","id":"b1345024-c8ce-477d-910f-5c0046555958"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"4N841I5q9PlcfHAnKVt6Tk","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"cae7503a-eece-45df-9d86-567ced7fae6d"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"","body":"<p class=\"ql-align-justify\"><span style=\"color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: transparent;\">With that, I use the throttle, but I can also use pedal assist. Make a left and, okay, I'm sorry. So go up the sidewalk here. And then down this little path, or where do you want me to go from here? Hang on. Come on, kick in. There we go. And now which way? Well, because I didn't want to go down the curb unless you wanted me to. Okay, off we go. So I had to get rearranged. So on this bike, they have the forward pedals. So you can see my legs are actually extended forward. And that has two benefits. One is that I'm getting optimum leg extension when I'm riding, but I can also be closer to the ground. which makes it really nice for me because I'm only 5'4\". The seat's adjustable. You can customize the bike to fit yourself, but I like being a little bit lower to the ground so that when I want to stand up, it's really easy for me. So right now I'm in second gear. I could probably switch if I wanted to. And I'm in pedal assist one because we're on relatively flat ground. But oh my gosh, if you just want to go out for a nice, easy ride, this bike is wonderful. light and again with the way that the handlebars are set up, my arms are nice and relaxed. </span></p>","id":"b5c5c6f5-48e6-4ccc-9747-941556551877"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"3MpV4yma9i8NVvDZ1ZH8bt","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"53b3ba3f-e569-4ec3-93fb-3a174aa65a41"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"","body":"<p class=\"ql-align-justify\"><span style=\"color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: transparent;\">My upper body is nice and relaxed. And then again, having the pedals forward, it makes it a nice, easy ride. Nice leg extension. And I'm close to the ground. So I'm loving that. I don't remember where that was. Okay. Right here, the next one. Nice, easy braking system. Make sure that there's not a car coming before I make my turn. It is fun. So still in pedal assist one. Okay. Well, that was fun. And as you can see, I stopped pedaling, and my foot touches the ground. And that's what I really like about this. As I mentioned, we have the forward pedal system, which allows you to keep your seat lower. So I didn't have to jump off the bike, which is really nice. And it's easy to step off. So very cool bike. As always, I love having the display right here so that I can see how much battery I have left. I can see what pedal assist I'm in, see what gear I'm in, and how far I go. This is a great bike. I loved it. Again, comfortable and very relaxed. So again, come out to sixthreezero, do a test ride. And if you have any comments or questions, drop them below.
