New adventure

[texsize]

I have been back in southern Oregon and hoping to go home to my flock soon.
As I sit looking at my wonderful view

I am waiting for the delivery of an E-bike I have on order.
We have a lot of stores close by and I find myself constantly making short trips (in a diesel car,not good for it) just to pick up a Rx or some pet supplies. I also think Bingo would love the experience of riding on bike in his pack o bird.
just for reference (and not to promote or advertise) I went with something called a Heybike Mars.
As I have not got it can’t exactly sing it’s praises yet.
Right now I just hope FedEx can find our place.

view

Wow-what a Fun-tastic view its looks amazing!

and hoping to go home to my flock soon.

That is every time I go on vacation i honestly after getting birds i am kinda avoiding vacations as best as i can it's just i don't trust people even though they have knowledge about birds you just feel like -idk i just feel that i don't trust them i feel they don't get my birds on something's

Right now I just hope FedEx can find our place.

i hope too

 

[MayMaroa]

Wow, I would never get tired of that view!

oh I would get bored from any view because just looking at something(well, of course, i love to look at my birds but it's boring to just look at a view) because obviously i am a tween and it's just so boring.

I remember being your age and I would have thought a view was boring after a few minutes as well. Then I grew up and came to appreciate those beautiful views. I have a feeling that someday you will, too

after a few minutes

A few mins? I would get bored after a few seconds.

Yaa, i know when i think about it now i think like when i grow and become an adult and I am like now ohh i will be a boring adult i will be so boring i just can't get how adults find views so amazing and that they will never get bored but sadly when i will become an adult i will be like i would never get bored from that view i just can't get it is so broingly (yaa just made up a new word)

When you get older you will also realize that if you can't say something nice it's better not to say anything at all
Wes loves his view, and so do I, and I will bet most of our members do. I don't find any of us boring.
Let's get this back on track now, this has hijacked this thread enough.

 

[texsize]

My view includes.
woodpeckers.
blue jays.
Canadian geese.
squirrels.
horses.
mules.
and a bunch of birds I can’t identify.
oh.
see red tailed hawks and some kind of turkey vulture..

 

[Terry57]

Wow, so many birds and animals! We have woodpeckers here, and lots of sparrows.
Oh, we do have hawks in some of our trees, and there was an owl who slept on out covered back porch for a couple of months.

 

[saxguy64]

Absolutely stunning! My view isn't nearly so gorgeous as yours, but since we're very rural here, we see tons of wildlife as well. No mules, but we have Amish neighbors who drive by in horse drawn buggies. Lots of smaller bird species, and hawks, bald eagles, turkeys, turkey vultures, then the occasional coyote, fox, skunk, porcupine, racoons, possum....... Oh, cows. Another neighbor bought a bunch of beef cows last year or so, and they didn't understand where they were the first day, so they went on a walkabout. 20-30 of them, right through my yard. It was early spring, and I still find holes from where they sunk in the mud Perks of living in the middle of nowhere

 

[Cottonoid]

I grew up with a view like this and miss it every day! I can just smell that spring air seeing all that lovely green!!

I'm a big fan of electric bikes making cycling more accessible and more fun so congratulations on your pending non-feathered baby!

 

[Laurasea]

my parents adore their e bikes!!!! They ride the hood every day! I want one!

The view is stunning ! Somehow I think our souls absorb the peace and majesty and it recharges us.

I never get tired of watching wild birds and try to see something new.

That IS a beautiful view, Wes, it looks a lot like dairy country on the Sunshine Coast hinterland here in south-east Queensland. Much nicer than my view in suburbia, I am well jealous of you, Wes!

What a beautiful view! I can see the sea from my house.

I have had a chance to give my e-bike a 4 mile tryout as it was (as I had intended) intended.

I installed the rear basket and rode it to the pharmacy.
Some of the trip I cut through a dirt lot. Partly to try it out and partly to avoid narrow streets and heavy traffic.
Brought home my Rx and a gallon of milk no problemo.

As far as a review goes I feel more comfortable writing it up here even though it's not strictly relevant.

I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
In a general sense it reminds me of my first motorcycle. a Yamaha 175 Induro (may not have the spelling right). It was both a street/dirt bike. It was a good Motorcycle but did neither street nor dirt well, just ok.

I think it's the same for this e-bike. You can take it into the dirt but don't try BMX style racing, I don't think it would hold out well.
Better suited to street riding but again there are better street only bikes out there with faster speed or longer range.

Couple of design issues I found that may be difficult to describe in text.

The clamp for adjusting the seat height interferes with removing and installing the battery. It's possible but the handle scrapes the batter case and makes for a tight fit.

The steering/handlebar column assembly I could not get to "go together" the way the vide shows and a torque value for the screw/bolt that holds the handlebar column in the correct orientation would be real nice. Having it come loos while riding would be embarrassing

No chain guard.

And not a design issue but having some trouble with the derailer.
Chain keeps wanting to slip out of gear. Maybe needing some adjustment.
