11th February 2023 - Bullitt finally has electric drive refitted! Time to test ride!

 Out today on the Bullitt.

I managed to finally fix with a new controller and refit the electric motor that was with the Bullitt when I originally got it.
I originally went for a quick test ride just to see how the assist worked but it was running so nice I ended up going all the way into Thurso and around town, visiting Sam in The Bike Shop as he was the one who went through the system and diagnosed the fault.
It ran really nicely, though not ever having done any real miles on an electric assist before, it will take me some time to adjust to. Though I can see in just that short ride how it opens up so many more opportunities for going further a bit easier on the Bullitt.
This initial ride was very good with great stability with the weight of the front wheel now actually a benifit as there is no spin or slippage from the front end.
I have always been impressed with the Bullitt and then after buying one I was even more impressed and have loved the eighteen months I have owned it without the electrics, it has always impressed and exceeded my expectations.
The plan is hopefully to get it setup to suite, with a bit of touring, commuting and a lot of general everyday type hauling for the family.
