Do you want to go on longer rides for leisure or just that 7 miles a day ? Maybe the 2nd hand Rambletta or Camino here (The Faro is generally better for lighter people / less hilly but I guess you are doing ride this without assistance at the minute) https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand (Woosh have very good support and there's usually parts available if anything goes wrong)
July 6, 20241 yr Author Fit a tsdz8 to your Carrera. Perfect for your weight and steep hills. Thanks I will consider this option

Info is much appreciated
July 6, 20241 yr Paddy - do you have the skills to maintain your bike now and could you do the installation of a kit, albeit with advice from people on here? Not everyone is comfortable with tools and stuff like pulling cranks off and fitting a crank drive as suggested above. Of course, if you're not comfortable installing a crank drive yourself, you can get help from someone to do the fitting. There is a lot of expertise here so you will get plenty of sound advice.
