This Sunday kickstarted a really nice run of weather for us here in the north of Scotland which lasted through to the following Sunday. I managed to get the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday commute on the Bullitt which thanks to the lovely weather and lengthening days was an absolute pleasure and just really enjoyed getting used to the elctric assist and adjusting to try and get the best from it and myself. I was certainly quicker on the commute and more relaxed with it as well. While it is always a better, more relaxed way to get to work and also the ride home letting the worries of the work day dissolve along the way, it was just plain old fun. It will be interesting to see how the commute on my Long Haul trucker will be after a while on the Bullitt as I find I am riding it at a higher cadence than normal, which I assume is down to the assist, so it may speed me up with my accoustic rides.
My morning and evening commute, not stressful :)
I then spent Saturday afternoon tidying up the electric harness and wires from the controller etc. While I had moved the controller from the outside back of the box to inside the cargo box, I had the connections loose as well as the harness to the front wheel inside the box so to be easy to fix or dismantle should there be a problem with it in these early stages. Besides a loose connection on thursday, every thing had been working fine. So I tidied the wires into the secondary box and moved the front drive harness to underneath the cargo box, waterproofed the connections where needed and then made sure it was all weatherproofed and secure.
