Quoted from RTS:I have just surpassed 3,000 miles ridden in just under a year. Your post was kinda the inspiration.
I'm more impressed that you did 3,000 while working more than full time.
The argument others make that you don't get as good of a workout is wrong. My fitness has improved so much that I usually ride entirely unassisted.
I'm getting a solid workout because my bike is heavier. I can keep up with a lot of the weekend warriors on the trail who are on regular bikes.
I'll admit I've been curious how much easier it might feel on a lighter bike, but I like the option of power if I hit the wall, or wind starts to howl miles from base.
Most of my rides lately have been 25+ miles and 1750' altitude gains, all unassisted.

Awesome! I can't stop riding mine. It's opened up so much more to me. I still ride mostly unassisted or eco. But rocky climbs I'd be hacking on are a blast in trail mode now.
Have to admit when I first saw this thread I thought will power trumps pedal assist and ped assist is for p.....s.
It's nice to be wrong sometimes...haha
Thanks op
