I got my e-bike in February 2023 (OMG, I’ve been riding for 3 years!). A tad over a year later on March 21st I logged my first 1000 kilometers. I was very excited. My rides were relatively short and I kept watching the odometer as the kilometers accumulated bit by bit. I was so aware of my mileage I extended a ride just so I could watch the odometer hit 1000! Then I stopped paying attention.

Flash forward to present day and I needed my first drivetrain maintenance. The freewheel bearing seized and had to be replaced. I was a little cranky thinking this was premature. Then the bike mechanic pointed out I had ridden over 5300 kilometers. What!

These 5334.2 kilometers have been so much fun. I feel like I’m just getting started.
