Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and shamelessly asking for advice already! My kids and I are keen cyclists, but unfortunately my wife had an accident (aboard a bus not a bike) some time ago and lost her leg. She can still sit on a bike, but can't pedal. She would very much like to get out and about cycling with the family, but is it realistic to expect an electric bike to be able to take her any distance or up any form of hill? We would love to get cycling again and I'm afraid my wife impulsively bought a cheap chinese scooter on the promise that that would do the trick. Of course it was effectively useless, losing its charge after about 5 mins and not going up the slightest gradiant. Anybody know of anything powerful enough out there for someone who can't pedal? I'm quite happy to pay alot for something good, I just don't want her to be disappointed again. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
Steve
