I bought a X-Treme Trailmaker E-Bike last year and rode the heck out of it. Moved back to Dallas and rode the Sante Fe Trail to White Rock Lake/Trail, doing 12-16 miles 4-5 times a week.
Aug 20th that stopped. I was transitioning from the trail to the asphalt road and hit some kind of pothole. Sudden halt at 20mph. Crushed my right elbow. 18 screws, 3 rods. A week in the trauma unit at Baylor.
Now I'm well into my therapy and am looking at what I need to do to get back on the bike. I found that I cannot quite extend my arm, cannot lock it out, and its considerably weaker than the other. Its also a bit shorter as they had to cut off some of the bone.
The mountain bike handlebars are going to be a couple or more inches too far away. Thinking that something with a bigger 'riser type bar might work okay.
Suggestions?
