So I treated myself at an online auction to the above machine, and whilst it won't be my main bike, it will be used for multi day tours and the like.
I've had it a month or so now, but only had it out once, when I met a couple of cracking guys who had a very impressive set up and absolutely all the gear.
I had a bit of range anxiety as my rudimentary grasp on simple arithmetic was telling me I had loads of miles in the tank, but my control panel was telling me I was going through the juice faster than a new born lamb. Truth be told, I was also a bit concerned about a climb that was ahead of me, as I injured myself 12 months previously tackling this route and I'm still not 100%, so I wanted to make sure I had plenty in reserve to get me over that. The boys assured me that my set up was more than ample for the ride, and they were quite right as in the end,I only used 52% of my battery, which maybe makes my question even more strange.
Anyway, these boys bikes were first class, unrestricted which I know is controversial, but who am I to judge. What I did like was the battery extender each of them had strapped to their bottle cage's and I wondered if that was an option for all ebikes or just certain types. My main battery is in the frame, so not sure if that precludes me from fitting an extender.
I did a bit of Google searching but just got confused, and I hoped I might get some advice here.
