First ebike arrived today ?

[Beekeeper]

Reaction Hybrid Race 500 in Grey and Lime. 2019 version.

Finally have an ebike
I felt like a top class mechanic adjusting the handlebars.
Unfortunately no pedals came, just an empty pedal box. I phoned and they are sending them tomorrow. In the mean time I swapped pedals over from analogue bike.
Attempted to ride around the garden but something was horribly wrong. My feet kept bashing into the front tyres as I tried to turn. I nearly got killed on my first ebike ride ?. I’ll leave you to guess what I did wrong ?

All sorted now. Ready to go. The great ebike journey begins.

First ride today, 22 miles.
Great fun
Stopped at pub, two experienced road racers came over and asked endless questions about the bike.
Had approx 75% charge left when I got home.

Haha! It’s amazing how much the performance improves with the forks facing the right way ?
