As I've been expanding E-Trike rides into larger loops, today I finally achieved the goal of reaching College Township.
It was a warm Spring Day and I made the ride via Boalsburg through mostly impressive safe bike paths along the roadside.
Attended a Fellowship meeting while charging the bike battery, and then entered Schlow Library for more recharging and some Jack London and President JFK reading . Then traveled through Friedman Parklet to linger with the sunbathers for a bit before scoring some free bread and bagels from the Saint Andrews dinner.
On the last leg however, the Trike began behaving funny a couple of times. Then, although the battery still indicated two bars of power the Trike konked out three miles before home. Several times I rebooted the electronic power train, but it kept indicating an error message. This looked similar to what happened before when it broke down.
The Trike electrical components may have simply overheated as the temperature was hovering at 85 degrees. Plus, I was carrying a heavy load up several medium sized back road hills.
