   #BikeDiary Why the mellowness vs my regular bike? Part of it is the electric motor. Part is the low speed: it I settle in very comfortably at 16-18mph, but getting it over 20mph is damned hard without a hill.

   A third surprising ingredient: the riding posture. It’s built to ride upright, I find myself instinctively sitting up tall instead of slouching (unusual for me!) or hunching over. Really different feel.
