Unless I missed it, no throttle.

Ideally straight across from the Yamaha, but that probably can't happen. Probably $2k or so max.

I don't know anything about grades. The hill is probably not even 1/8 mile. There is another steep hill on one of the bike paths that is probably about 1/8 to 1/4 mile.

My needs are simple. No commuting. Bike paths, some urban, suburban, and some light unpaved trails. Honestly, if there was a way to install a throttle on the Yamaha, I would extend stuff as needed to fit me, but as we all know, as of now, there is no way to add a throttle to Yamaha drive trains.

So I was seduced by the killer deal on the RCs last fall. It is a really nice bike, but I think I didn't shop long enough to know what I really want in a bike. First off, I need an upright seating position due to an injury. I have put a upright extender as well as a short stem on the bike...

I don't know enough yet to know if I need a throttle or not. Can one be added to the Yamaha?

I used to ride BMX back in the '80s. No stranger to wrenching on bikes back then. I have a ~97 ish chrome moly Rock Hopper I bought new that is mostly original and in great shape, and a ~mid 2000s ish LL Bean aluminum framed comfort (or hybrid?) made by K10? maybe? bike, also in great shape...
