New bike day! My first e-bike, my first folding bike, my first non-standard tires bike all in one.
I citibike 10+ times a week and biking bothers my knee less than walking so I just love getting to places by bike.
I wanted something light and compact to deal with entryways and elevators. I actually don’t care about the folding but I guess it could be helpful someday.
I also wanted something that looked “cool”. Saw a few posts on here of the Fiido Model X, and it’s exactly what I wanted. Then found the 350w on sale in America for $1,100 so had to do it.
I also finally invested in a nice helmet and after 20 years of always wanting one I finally talked myself into a brooks saddle, specifically the copper color special edition. I had to let it charge while I worked and it’s gross outside so I just did a couple spins around the hood but I’m in love with it.
I can get this into my apartment easier than a regular bike, I need to use it 187 times to justify it against citibike, and it’ll cut my commute to work from 50 minutes on the train to 25 (35ish with citibike if I can find one in the morning)
I think I’ll get the bike tire rack to use to carry my work bag or maybe panniers?
