Richie McCoy aka Dr DeejOnly managed to get 20kms ridden on the eeb today. My knee was starting to hurt near the end and my knob was getting numb. I still think pudendal neuralgia might be the cause. Would really love an Amflow right now. One big hill I had to abort. Need serious power for that. #eeb #ebike #emtb
