Flying by on E-Bikes

Yesterday our new e-bikes arrived, wife and I both got RadRover 6 bikes from RadPower. Took most of the day to assemble (the accessories took longer than the bikes). Learned how to use my first torque wrench though!

Took the bikes for a ride last night to the local pizza shop. The weather was pretty nasty (rainy and windy), but the bikes did amazing. Lots of speed, comfortable and handle any type of surface with ease. My bike is loaded with front and rear racks and a pannier bag (which was useful for our leftovers), so it's quite a bit heavier than my wife's. This morning we did another ride to the YMCA to go swimming. My one complaint with riding in the dark is that the front headlight doesn't do much, especially with it's mounting position when you have a front rack. A lot of it gets cut off by the tire.

Detailed Guppy v0.2 Feedback

I wrote about the Guppy protocol yesterday, which is a smolweb protocol that interestingly uses UDP instead of TCP.
