Then I got excited when I heard about the upcoming Schwinn Tailwind until I saw how underpowered the battery is (100 wh). From the Kalkhoff website it appears that the 2009 Tasman will ne similar to the 2008 (other than being available in a crossbar version). Doesn't appear to be much on this forum on the Tasman. Any comments on a good electrically assisted bike for an overweight 61 year old in not the best of physical shape? Thanks.
Hello, we've just published the latest Tasman spec here:

Different paintjob and full chainguard this time around and I can confirm this will be available with a crossbar frame, as well as the step-thru.
