With the new #ebike regs in CA, I now have to pedal my ebike at least when I see cops. I love to bike, I love my roadie, but my ebike is halfway to emoto with a fat seat and pedaling is awkward as hell. The biggest problem is that the gearing is ridiculous, like I can get maybe 2 turns of the crank in when starting, but anything above 15 and I am just flapping my legs around pointlessly like a Looney toons character.

I think I need to swap out my chainring and just get a humongous one, I know those are in style anyways, but there's no other way than that to get more mechanical advantage so that when I'm going 30 I'm actually able to contribute some power, right?
