After being punted off the day before during an interesting dismount that resulted in an accidental full throttle grab my father wanted to get back on the electric horse for a quick ride.

I love the sound the tires and motor make as it flies by. It almost sounds like a tie fighter as it flies by. Big Grin

My little riding buddy and I did 10 miles around our local park this morning before it got too hot outside. She LOVES riding with me. Cool

The ebike slays the many hills around these parts with ease and makes the ride even more enjoyable.

I’ve almost put 500 miles on the ebike in a few months! It’s more fun than a motorcycle, especially considering it takes full advantage of the gray area between bicycle and motorcycle and the HUGE park I live next to has banned motorcycles.

That's actually not far off (or far, far away). The sound effect for the Tie Fighter was produced by combining an elephant call with a car driving on wet pavement.
