Private account might be the issue.

I'm toying with the idea of buying a Yeti ASR this year...

I'm also working through some health issues so...

Noice! My buddy has one, loves it. He has had some issues with the motor, but he rides hard. Is that triangular thing above the motor a range extender?

Also, here's the image extracted from insta:

Thank you for the extraction.

Yes, that is a range extender. I did 40 miles on mostly trails the other day, and it was still at 56% when I was done. I love it because I can literally ride all day. It does work your legs a bit, unless you put it in the upper 2 power profiles, but I rarely do.

Almost all of the really strong riders here have an e they ride. A lot of my friends coach the local HS team (my wife and I do as well), and we all ride an e on rides with them, sometimes. I'm closer to 60 than 50, and I definitely see potential to keep me riding regardless of how old I am.

I hope your health issues come out okay, and either way, e bikes are fun to have. I actually have 2, my other one is a commuter, which allows me to get to the office, and not have to take a shower, as there's 1600' of climbing to get to my office. Like I was told when I bought it, "Think of it as a cheap car, not an expensive bike."

I rode my ICE bike today, then sat on the trainer and watched supercross. The trails aren't good because of the frozen ground, rain, snow, and rain that we have had.

I hope my health gets its sh*t back together before the weather gets nice.
