I have started a new thread because the other was getting too long, and my question about advise has been answered. I know I can get good advise here and I have been to the Electric Transport Shop in Cambridge...and it was most helpful.
I now realise that the bike I want doesn't exist yet...it can however probably be put together for me.
I tried this bike:
It is Dutch by Er-GO.....hard to find on the web
The low step through was exactly what I need, but it was not powerful enough, I did not like the twist grip gear shift, and we decided a push button throttle would be handy. Plus we could choose a comfy seat and good handle bars and brakes.
Or I could just go for an off the peg Kalkhoff, which I tried again and do like the feel of it. Would need to go up a notch though I think to get the thumb shift gears. And the step through, although low, it isn't ultra low! I still have not tried a BH emotion bike, I need to travel again to do that.
I'm thinking I need a bike building!
