Taking my 24" Schwinn Mountain Bike Conversion to the Coast

I've been tinkering with this 24" Schwinn Sidewinder eBike conversion for a while. I ditched the 750 watt 36 volt front wheel drive for a modest 350 watt rear wheel setup. I was hoping for much lionger range and only a slight loss in top speed. I had no way to determine how many miles I could get out of my battery packs. I ran first on an 8 Ah pack thart got me 9.5 miles away until it quit. After that, I swiped the XT60 plug for the main 12 Ah battery below it. That actually got me all the way home on the 23.4 mile round trip to Seal Beach this afternoon. I had a spare 7.8 Ah pack mounted on my handlebars which I never needed.

I rode into the wind heading there. Riding home was a breeze and we made good time. I brought my DJI Mavic Air 2S in my backpack in hopes to fly but all that airspace was controlled so I didn't get to fly until was was close to home. I took a little flight over Forest Lawn in Cypress. It was a very nice warm summer day in Southern California and a fun little adventure to document with my equipment.
