I haven't ridden the ebike in months. My wife and I work at the same place a mile from home with similar hours, so we take the Prius. I got sick of having to wear a ~20 pound backpack with the battery every time I wanted to ride, too. Couldn't justify buying a smaller battery, but I'm thinking of splitting my current battery and mounting half on each side of the top tube towards the front like saddle bags. Would provide much better weight distribution and I could either leave the battery with the bike or take it with me at my destination.

Double tires worked great, but I removed them because there's just not much of puncture risk here. Haven't tried tubeless, but I probably will if I ever get another bike/ebike to dedicate to off road riding.
