Dear all,
I purchased a e-byke with Panasonic system for my wife, 50 years old.
We are italians, living in France.
Amazing comfort and battery range.
We made few short trips so far, my wife still has some difficulties on slopes: it would have been nice having a sort of "super-assistance" mode, the "high" one is limited to 1.5 times.
I am happy having found this nice forum.

Hi Dato and welcome to the forum.

There are many forum users here who like Panasonic-powered bikes including myself. You haven't said which model you purchased but with a little more use, your wife will become fitter and will be glad she rides that machine. Those bikes which carry their riders uphill without pedalling just encourage laziness and do little to improve fitness.

Do keep in touch and tell us what your wife thinks of the bike with more use.

Hi,
many thanks for the warm welcome.
I am posting a picture of the byke: it is a Ortler, the Monet model.

View attachment 3605 it is a Ortler, the Monet model.

That bike should look more than a little familiar to all our Kalkhoff aficionados Dato. It's a nice bike but may well require a little rider effort to climb the steep hills.
