Turbo speed on the new ebike

Specialized Como electric bike The bike I am test riding is a pedelec- it only gives power when the bike is pedalled, and the harder you pedal the more help you get.

New Year in Australia 2019

It is hot. Nearly 40 degrees Celsius. So hot heavy food does not sound good. A barbecue on the deck sounds good though.
