So I decided to ride Grey ⚫🚲 at the #PedalForPeopleAndPlanet event.

Bad choice. 😐

Ya know how everything in a #bike event starts out at a snail pace? Due to the #Air20Lite being no good at PAS zero, I had a tough time -- kept hitting the brakes to not bump into other #cyclists.

With Big Bike ⚪🚲, having the ability to ride at PAS zero with better control, this wouldn't be a problem.

#NoteToSelf ☝️ Do not use Grey for events*. Not for Firefly Brigade events either.

Grey ⚫ 🚲 can supposedly do 100km on a single charge. I don't go by that number. ☝️

I get nervous when battery level gets to 30% and I'm 10km away from home. I can't do pure pedal power on Grey. Plus, our city is kinda hilly.

My last ride with Grey was 40+ km with pretty steep uphill climbs. And I started out with 90% power. Battery was in the red 🔴 as I got home.

So if I have a long-ish 40+ km ride, I really should* bring the charger. 🤔

After a couple of rides and a recent visit to have Grey checked (where I asked the vendor to ride it with #PAS at zero to see if he too has a hard time pedaling)...

Grey ⚫🚲 is no good without 🔋 power, unlike Big Bike ⚪🚲 that rides like any regular non-powered #MTB.

Sad. But good to know.
I thought I was the problem! 😅

It'll still be good for casual city riding and 1 particular yearly long group ride. 😉
