All the best, David
.. it's also my humble opinion . I also have a hub bike as well as the more expensive Bosch central drive, and it , the central drive , is much more natural. The hub one is fine but not in the same league.In your humble opinion of course. The OP needs to get his wife to try different types and makes of bike before deciding. In my garage right now there's 2 hub motor bikes and a crank drive bike. I've never found the crank drive to feel more or less natural.
she is ok with how it looks so we'll probably pop down to Southend in January to give one a try.at 5ft, 50kgs,she would feel much more secure on a Woosh Petite.
