Starting spring on MoonCool’s ebike

The MoonCool bike comes 80% assembled in a big box, ready to roll. Easy for older people to put together. Raven takes hers out of the box and it sits next to the tractor waiting for the summer to make the forest trails easier to navigate.

Early April in Northern Ontario, Canada and finally a few dry spots to test the MoonCool e-bike. This was my first attempt at putting together and riding an e-bike. First off if I had looked at the video online I would have opened the box in a few seconds. I hadn’t so 1/2 hour later I managed to open it. I needed a stronger arm to unfold the frame.

Everything fits easily according to instruction manual except for the front light wire. I had to redo that part to make it fit (kind of short). I charged the battery in November when it arrived. It snowed the next day do had to wait till now, April to test it. The battery, which I kept in the house over the winter, held its full charge for 4 months.

Today I locked the battery in position with the key. It took  a few readings of the instructions to realize that there is an on/off switch on the battery itself before the power activates the display.

Mind you I am a senior putting all this together and the excitement of finally being able to go for a ride between mud & ice spots might of made me a bit inattentive while reading the instructions.

Once I figured out the part of the throttle to turn I was in my way. Laughter could be heard by all the animals in the forest.

Are the Great Lakes polluted?

The Great Lakes may look pristine, but a new cleanup report reveals a growing tide of plastic pollution beneath the surface. From cigarette butts and food wrappers to tiny plastic fragments and discarded nicotine pouches, researchers are finding evidence that everyday consumer waste is making its way into North America's largest freshwater ecosystem. New technologies, including Canada's first BeBot beach-cleaning robot, are helping scientists understand how plastic travels through lakes, shorelines and stormwater systems before breaking down into microplastics.
