WA cascades are just amazing. Nothing like them in lower 48. This is the Lynch Glacier in 1963.

TacomaWx Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 34 DP of 25. We will see if we can keep it sub 40 today. Technically it wasn’t legit snow but the snow/graupel last night was definitely enough to be considered a trace accumulation. Pretty awesome to see considering I expected absolutely nothing last night. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Really enjoy this electric bike I got. I've ridden dirt bikes since I was 6 years old and I'm 50 now! This is the first battery powered bike I've owned and it's impressive. So far the range is pretty good I'd say, yesterday I left my house on a full charge and when I got back I was at 53% battery and had gone 19.3 miles of aggressive trail riding at a fast pace. A few things that are different is the weight, this thing is light at only 123lbs! To give you a idea for comparison. Adult full size dirt bike like a 250 2 stroke is about 225lbs. Kids 85 cc 2 stroke motocross bike about 155lbs. Riding it feels more like a mountain bike bicycle than a dirt bike. Power is decent and has a bunch of low end torque like anything electric has. Top speed in stock form is 48 mph with the stock gearing but I've geared mine way down for much more low end power and torque, my top speed is only 36mph but it gets there in hurry! 9 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.
