Bicycle ride home from work, 22 Jun 2020
This was my first ride home from work since I converted my 2004 Giant Sedona to an e-bike using a Tongsheng TSDZ2 mid drive kit. The motor reduced the typical 45 minute commute time to 30 minutes, which is only about ten of fifteen minutes longer than it takes to drive. The normally arduous hill climb at the end was relatively easy, and even though it was in the high 90s when I rode home, I was never uncomfortably hot.
The 52v 40 amp 14AH battery was down 20% after riding the full round trip commute. I could probably ride for two days or more before recharging.
