So double Hub, front and back? Would this need two controllers? Two LCDs? Can you use the same battery or would have to be seperate? Would they play havoc with each other and give it jittery ride?

Indeed, I am heavy as well and prob not as fit as most but getting there. TBH I am fine for 90% of most journeys. Again the bike is great. I mean maybe I should keep those hills for when I am fitter and lighter

I am afraid it's the same old conversation across the forums.. monster hills. So I already have a bike with a rear Hub and for the most part it's great.

Thanks for all the support guys. So to confirm the hill below is probably a bridge to far for my Bike, weight, fitness and having to get off is acceptable?

So I took the plunge I bought myself a Pedelec. Having been a Hybrid Rider for some years, I got all Lazy and haven't been on a bike for 5 years. A couple of reasons being time and also an Injury. I finally got my Ankle operation and I am on the mend. However I am now huge at 18st 8lb, so...
