    Anyone know the weight of a Forme Peak Trail 2 ELS please?

    Hello

    I'm rather excited - I just ordered a Woosh hub motor kit and it should be here tomorrow! I'm Mike and I have been a leisure cyclist for many years, but not so much recently as I'm waiting for a knee replacement operation and have a weak chest.... So the options were a wheelchair or an electric...
