    Hello

    Just joined forum having decided to 'go electric' since our knees are creaking at times on unassisted push bikes. Toyed with the idea of towing a scooter behind our motorhome but e-bikes on a rack is better option. Not decided what to go for yet, but we will test ride a selection. Favour a...
