I use my ebike for fun, fresh air and exercise (but I have to confess that the spinning referred to in my username is that done with fleece and a drop spindle not the sort done on a stationary bike!)
I’m 67, 5ft 3in, with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and (a very recent development) a dodgy left knee. Have been living in rural Mid Devon for 21 years and bought my first electric bike about 15 years ago. That was a Powabyke (can’t remember the model) but I do remember it weighed a ton (this was the days before Lithium batteries). However, living in a seriously hilly area it made all the difference between cycling or not cycling. I eventually replaced the Powabyke with an eZee Quando II which I loved dearly but the UK distributor stopped doing them and when the battery died it was going to cost a fortune to replace from abroad. My most recent bike is a Freego folder which is a great bike but now the company has gone out of business, so I’m worried about getting parts or a new battery when the time comes.
