A few years back the oppertunity to gat a battery assist bike was presented to me. Actually a present, My first reaction was "oh Hell No". Then the reality of riding on the beach on my beach cruiser it became clear I wasn't gonna keep up. So yes I do have a Battery bike and Yes I do ride it. Normally 3 or mor times a week to the beach, average 20 miles each trip. Alot is learned so I will share and offer some tips
