Thanks steveib. I'd love to take down those barriers. It's a struggle though. I'm still battling my personal issues around exercise. I'm in the tail end of a masters program for exercise physiology. When in class, I would read paper after paper talking about individuals who could reverse or rehabilitate from a serious condition but choose not to. Choosing not to is not a stubborn active choice, rather it's a choice based on the weighing negative perception, discomfort, and lack of social support. I do want to help those individuals who could use some help to re-engage themselves in a healthy active lifestyle. However, I am torn, feeling like a little kid jumping up and down, crying "this isn't fair", knowing that I can't fix myself with any exercise. Rather, my heart is just going to be falling apart more and I'll be getting myself closer to having complete heart failure with each strenuous beat. That said, I'm still around and with a purpose. I hope, with the help of the community, that we can empower people to live their lives again.

I raced for a living, finishing my career as the state RR champion. I worked professionally as a cycling coach, taking care of myself and aspiring champions alike. Everything in my life was turned upside down in a heartbeat. I lost my ability to race. I lost my ability to ride with my friends. I lost contact with so many. I survived what few ever do, an out of hospital cardiac arrest. I laid in front of my friends clinically dead. The FD deserve every bit of respect they get. While it took several months to gain the courage to get on a bike again, I wanted to get some of my life back. When I first rode a pedelec, I was all smiles, realizing what it meant. I could ride with my friends again. I am working on building a pedelec because I want others to get a chance to live their life again. This community is filled with so many talented and enthusiastic cyclists. Thank you for having me.

I'm in one of the liberal states where 28mph is allowed without license. I do not know if this is something needed and don't know if this is something people want. I'd be interested to hear your own experience and also your opinion about having others riding at this speed.

Thanks. Sent a message to the Lishui distributor. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Do you know where I can find the supplier for this? I wasn't able to find it within wooshbikes

Thanks. Something told me I'd hear from you, d8veh, you're all over the forums offering the technical help. I wonder if the unit would fit inside a 31mm ID seatpost when removed from the alloy shell.

I'd like to fit the controller inside the seatpost which throws out anything commercial I've seen (asides from the external keyde square wave controller). Does anyone have advice of where to find info on how to make a controller that uses torque input for PAS? Thanks ahead, Shawn
