Maybe not quite enough power and range for what I'd want to do...I suppose a spare battery could help.
That's the one. You have to start pedaling, but I mean half a crank or so.
If you're on the max assist setting you'll be going faster than you want to go, sooner than you want.
But if you're in sand or similar soft stuff it'll be a full crank or 2 before it says go.
Not sure how other bikes are.
I don't mind the 350 watts as the battery will last longer and I won't be doing any really serious hauling. Just carting my butt across the field.
I know Uncle Wieners sells a 500 watt model for $1,350 I think. Don't know anything about that one, but the biggest thing I like about Princess Auto is that no sale is final.
If it craps out in a year it's going back.

If you're in Edmonton and want to give this one a try just let me know. You can take it for a spin.
