    Enough Power for a Pensioner on Steep Hills

    I believe 60Nm is sufficient for me on Bath hills. Am I getting there yet?

    Thanks for the Wisper link. Nobody had said it was legally possible to have a throttle to assist on hills until now. https://wisperbikes.com/full-throttle-option/

    I've cycled all my life and now at 77 with a serious heart condition (ablation surgery last year) I have a pedelec.

    I live in Bath where the hills are killers for us oldies. There are grants for 'ride to work' buyers of ebikes. Is there any grant support for oldies with health issues?

    I bought a pedelec. A Raleigh Array Low Step. It was incapable of carrying me home up the steep hills needed to get me home. I've taken it back and after 3 weeks am still confused about what to replace it with. I'm told that a 250W motor is enough? So I rented a 250W ebike for a trial yesterday...
