It was great, but it was barely a winter day – just really slippery in the morning – good day for the studded tires. I haven’t tried it in snow yet.
Today was one of the days that I was really enjoying the e-bike. The air temperature and road conditions make you think it’s a great day for a bikeride, but man, that wind! I used to be exhausted, starving and grumpy when I got home on days like today. Not today…
Well put! I’ve got a new e-bike as well and it’s making such a difference. I’m enjoying not being a limp dishrag all the time. (Health issue took me off my bike a couple of years ago, after a decade of year-round commuting)
I have a Schwalbe Marathon Winter 29 x 2.0″ on my front wheel, and I am really happy with the handling, even in the sloppy conditions this morning. The sheer weight of the e-bike, as well as its long wheelbase and low center of mass (mid mount Bosch drive) keep it very stable. I slid out a couple of times last night in the fresh snow, but actually less than when I was running 2 studded tires on a mid 80s mountain bike.
Have you been out in the snow yet?
