Hi all, pretty new to the forum but have been having a lurk trying desperately to catch up on knowledge. Love a bit of mountain biking, never thought I'd get old haha but will need a total knee replacement at some point on the right so time to e-bike to help me up the hills. Great site and forum, so much to read and learn but at least I'm hands on so that side is good ;-)

Hi M1.. I too never thought I would get old , I turned 65 last year so I converted my rockhopper with a Chinese kit and I love it ...buzzing about the hills in Eastern Crete. My next project is to get a solar battery charger rigged up ,we have plenty of sunshine ..

Hi from Ceredigion.
Converting my hybrid has rescued it from a life skulking in the back of the shed. Local hills no longer are an impediment. At 66 I'm riding more regularly then I've ever done.
Have a think about conversion, but be warned, it's adictive :cool:
