That's right! I finally get the chance to commute to work via my ebike and unfortunately public transportation (dc metro). OK maybe that was a little dramatic because I'll have time to read and do whatever on the metro which will be nice..but yea.
The plan is to take my battery with me when I head into work. Battery weighs about 10lbs but it shouldn't be too bad with a backpack. My bike is almost finished and ready to ride. I've put a lot into the battery case and essentially I'll be able to drop my battery right in and go and pull it out when I pick it up. Should be super easy!
I've got a gopro mount for the bike also so I'm planning on doing some ride videos. Should be quite scenic going past the Capitol and all.
Hopefully dc roads treat me well. More concerned with the drivers since I have to ride in the street but I'm up for the challenge.
One thing I don't have is fenders for if it rains. Those are on their way and I'm working on waterproofing my box covering my controller and where I drop in my battery. I think once I square all those away the bike will be awesome. I decided to go without a power analyzer so I see the voltage and current during my ride because I didn't have a very good way to mount it to my handlebars. That may come in the future but I'll just enjoy it now.
