New e-bike project


After over 30,000 miles on my Surly Long Haul Trucker, I decided it is time for something a little different.  I purchase a RANS Fusion.  A crank forward design that hopefully will be a little easier getting on and off as I am getting older.  

About 15 years ago, while touring though Kansas, I stopped at the RANS factory in Hays, Kansas and did a short tour of the factory and they let me test ride a couple of bicycles.  I always thought that eventually I would get a RANS.  Well here I am!  

I had considered a Recumbent Bike, but decided on a Crank Forward for learning curve and visibility reasons.  The RANS quality and finish is just plain outstanding!

RANS is now in Montezuma, KS !   and that is awesome! 

This should be a fun project as I work toward making this a E-Touring Bicycle. 

Stay tuned...
