I've had my EP2-Pro since Oct 2022, and if it wasn't for this bike, I would still be on the couch. My analog bikes don't work for me anymore with all the hills I have to deal with. It was hard to give up bicycling, but with 2 knee replacements and a fused ankle my riding days unless it was perfectly flat wasn't going to happen. Now I enjoy going up them, and just using enough power to get to the top without working to hard, and also trying to conserve as much AH's as I can. I love all of that. I can also just sit upright and just use the throttle. So many options, but I ride an Ebike so I can enjoy the experience of riding even with disabilities. On the other hand , yesterday I rode these hills in pas level 2 for 11 miles, and believe me, it was a workout, and yes when I got tired I just twisted the throttle. For my type of riding, I will never go analog again. I'm hooked.
