Hey Guys,
I have been known for high power bikes. However, my very first E-bike was a human/electric hybrid in the truest sense. That bike is light weight, smooth, and was equally good as a bicycle or E-bike. Since then my E-bikes (and there have been many) have become more and more performance focussed. These performance bikes are alot of fun to ride and to build. It is cool seeing mow much performance can be attained from a given package. I still love performance (and I have another high performance bike in the planning and parts compiling stage right now). However, I am coming around to my roots and loving the two bikes I own that are true hybrids. These bikes are great because exercise can be had while adjusting your speed and/or your level of exercise as you wish. I love being able to sustain a 130 or 140bpm heart rate at 15mph, 20mph, or 25mph all depending on how much throttle I choose to input into the system. I can, also, stop pedalling completely a mile or so before the end of my ride to dry off before entering my destination.
How about you guys? What is your favorite type of bike and why? Do you like performance and rarely ever pedal, or do you prefer a blended system that is equally good as a pedal bike?
