Bad ending. You don’t give up walking when you start running without proper prep. Practice cures many ills. E bikes should be embraced, especially for those of us on the hillside descent.
Now if they made brake charging for them, in hill country you could double the range when you can charge them back up while going down hill. I may get a class 1, but I like actual riding too much for a class 2 throttle type.
20 years ago when we retired, we joined a biking group. Rode 20-30 miles up and down steep hills. Nowadays, those who haven’t quit biking altogether are using e-bikes. I’m using an e-recliner.
I signed up on a kickstarter for an electric wheel for my adult trike. They say it’s in customs at this time. So, the rainy season will be in full swing by the time it arrives!
I guess he’s not a ‘get on the horse after getting bucked off kind of guy.’ Of course in this case, it is a bike and he wasn’t quite in the physical shape to return to his bike……
I distinctly remember the salesperson telling me that if you get completely knackered, you can put the e-bike on full automatic and cruise up the hill; it would just eat up the battery more quickly. Either that was a lie, or I still haven’t discovered how to do that.
This comic is somewhat misleading. Federal law requires an ebike to quit assisting once the speed hits 20 mph. I easily hit 40 mph or more on my regular bike on steep downhills.

There is some needed adjustment from riding a regular bike to an e’bike. Once you make the switch though. you never want to go back.

At least the bike didn’t get hurt!

What the “E” didn’t stand for is Exercise.

c’mon. What’s with the bandages? Cartoon characters can’t be hurt! (tongue firmly in cheek)
