Hi - Just turned 60 and nearly 19 st weight.: o Decided to buy a folding bike - had to be electric, as the first hill i would come to would be my last. Would have liked to buy someting good like a nano brompton, except max. rider weight is 100kg, so i would probably squash it. And also the first time i fell off it would be listed in e-bay (as soon as i got out of hospital).
So i bought a Tesco Hopper.....
No rider weight specified! and less money to loose re the above. It is pedal/pedal assist only so i have to pedal rather than sit back and open the throttle, which i know would be to tempting
.
I appreciate not the worlds best example of engineering, but after 46 years out of the saddle-
It works - and have thoroughly enjoyed the five times out on it, and none of the above has happened [yet]. Twice venturing on the main roads, once unwobbling had been achieved.
I spent a bit of time getting good advice from your forum/searches - many thanks to all.
