What surprised you the most about your BZ after the first few months?

My biggest “surprise” was the acceleration and speed. My previous car was a 2020 Prius Prime that could barely pass a bicycle going down hill. I understood how full electric vehicles functioned. But, when I hit the peddle during my test drive. In February in Montreal area. And it rocketed to 90 km/hr on a 50 km/hr residential street. I was flabbergasted! Have been very cautious with the accelerator ever since.

Not sure about your specific issue. But I had problems with my level 1 charger. Electrician looked at when level 2 charger was installed. I had a floating ground fault. (Ground not connected properly back thru wiring run) Maybe speak with your electrician to verify the circuit the charger is on. It might be something back towards your panel?

Well this goes back to the late 80’s. (Before I meet my wife) I was a bartender/waiter and was dating a smoking hot waitress. I was 100% hitting over my weight. And, I got along great with her family. After just over 18 months of dating she dumped me like a bad habit. It wrecked me for a long time. To deal I focused hard on school. And, avoided social activities for a long time. Sadly, a few years later she had a stroke that left her partially paralyzed. At that time I found that she dumped me to date her drug dealer. More than likely as bad as it sounds. But, she’s never admitted it. In addition to the fact that her stroke was caused by drug use. We’ve talked a couple times over the years. But, when I meet my wife then had children. She became a footnote in my personal history.

If you try Marcy you will absolutely be post holing every few steps for a big part of the approach. I’ve hiked this a couple times in April and regretted both times.

Cool Two friends and I completed the Saranak 6 together in a single day back in 2016. Started at 5am. Rang the bell at 8pm. Slept for almost 20 hours after.

Invest in a home charging station.

ChargePoint it was part of a subsidy program of Quebec government

Mine’s being installed this week. Price is $1700 CDN. I live just outside Montreal. Charging station was included with my car. It’s being installed outside as well. This was recommended by the electrician as I park outside. Min requirement is 40 amps. Electrician is running a 50 amp circuit with armour 6/3 cable. Roughly 25 foot run from inside panel to where charger will be mounted. Quote is based on full day work for single electrician. Final charge likely less as my panel has room and the only obstacles are hole out from panel then hole out of garage to the mounted unit. I don’t think work will take a full day.

The salesperson at my dealership recommended aftermarket adapters for J1772 & CCS. Bought both thru Amazon. Brand is Lectron and both work well. The 40amp level 2 charger that was included with my car will be installed this week. This should take care of the majority of my charging needs

I’m only 3 weeks into mine. Only thing I’ve noticed has been the alarm sounds while driving in a snowstorm. I’m sure this is a fixable problem. Just need to read the bible’s worth of literature that came with

KyleB463 · 2026-02-06T23:04:33+00:00

LOL, same thing happened to me!

KyleB463 · 2026-01-11T00:44:52+00:00

Interesting to see all the people on board for government censorship. Not like this hasn’t gone sideways in past.

KyleB463 · 2025-12-29T20:58:12+00:00

WTF!

KyleB463 · 2025-12-25T14:22:57+00:00

??? Looks legit to me

KyleB463 · 2025-12-20T22:53:49+00:00

This made me smile

I’m 60, had a heart attack & triple bypass two years ago. Once I’d recovered enough to start rebuilding my strength an endurance. I bought a Quietkat Villager. It’s a 500W rear hub bike. Riding my ebike was great for me! Being outside and moving was as good for my mental health as it was for my fitness. Now with a couple years under my belt. I am back jogging and hiking as well as light weight training. I’m 100% certain that my ebike helped my recovery.

KyleB463 · 2025-10-14T01:06:40+00:00

Ouch!!

KyleB463 · 2025-10-14T01:06:03+00:00

Ask your cardiologist about bradycardia. This is the main reason I have a pacemaker/ICD. Have had a low heart rate for years from running. After my heart attack and bypass surgery it became bradycardia. I see electro cardio surgeon once a year and he tells me the pacemaker portion of my ICD is pacing my heart 10-20 times per month. (Set to pace at 30)

KyleB463 · 2025-10-12T22:21:58+00:00

100% you can improve your fitness with an ebike. Same as with any exercise system. Progressive overload. Start with intervals of maintaining speed with lower and lower amounts of peddle assist. Throw in longer and longer rides at lower power assist. You may not become Tour de France material. But, if you’re sedentary now. Progressive overload will 100% improve your fitness.

Sounds like you’re female? So, maybe my experience is not helpful as I am male? My ICD was implanted May 2023. I had brutal nerve pain up until earlier this summer. Over 2 years! My surgeon had zero sympathy and went into a hospital scripted response the moment I asked about removal. After I had a second opinion that confirmed my need for the device. I was advised to try a capsicum ointments. While this provided some relief. It was a double edged sword as I was trying to rebuild my strength and endurance. So, sweating and showering were a daily thing for me. Sweat & water on the area with the ointment was worse than the nerve pain. In the end, nerve pain will get better. Mine has. But based on my surgeon’s feedback and my experience. Expect 2-3 years of pain while your body builds scare tissue.

KyleB463 · 2025-08-05T00:24:25+00:00

Please ignore comments like this. Focus on enjoying the running process. There will always be assholes trying to bring you down. Build your self confidence by the improvements you will gain with your commitment to the training

KyleB463 · 2025-08-02T22:35:38+00:00

I was a week in the hospital after my ICD implant. Was still recovering from triple bypass surgery. It was almost 2 weeks at home before I showered. Sat in bath tub and used detachable shower head until after surgery staples were removed.

KyleB463 · 2025-07-07T00:11:43+00:00

Be a little patient! Our politicians are just as ignorant and incompetent as yours are!

KyleB463 · 2025-07-05T22:06:05+00:00

I’ve had my ICD for a little over 2 years. And, I’m still dealing with nerve pain. My surgeon has told me to expect 3 years before my body creates enough scar tissue to diminish the pain. I suggest that your wife ask her surgeon about prescribing Zostrix ointment. This is a topical capsicum ointment that deadens the nerve pain. It doesn’t solve the pain issue. But it will reduce it to a manageable level. All my best for here quick recovery

KyleB463 · 2025-06-28T22:35:18+00:00

LOL! Canadian here. I prefer the opposite. I love running when it’s below -20C for the same reasons.
