They come with a freewheel on the crank, so with the throttle closed you can pedal without it turning the motor,

Firstly, congratulations to your friend. Secondly I cant believe you know so little about riding an Ebike with a throttle. I thought you would realize they can be peddled as well !!

So pleased to hear you can still do it at over 80 years old !!! Just don't have the Lycra too tight !!!

Way to go !!!My old trike still has toothless freewheels shimmed with baked bean tins !!!

No , I know why it damaged my 'cheap' drive chain and frame , , but I still did 11000km in 15 months and had a hell of a lot of fun doing it . Plus working on my bikes is part of my hobby .

When I came to NZ it was to work in the Poultry industry, back in 1970. The very first week I was there they called for volunteers to start early to load some chickens , with the offer that breakfast would be provided .

Bottom line is I ride in a hilly area on gravel roads...

Yes , I had thought of a smaller chain ring , but the lowest gear is already very low , peddling flat out only reaches about 9km /hr. I need more power at low speed on hills

No such luck, I have already got the manual, but it gives no more information. I did manage to work out the password , and get further in to it, but the only alterable item was top speed , which doesnt help me at all . I don't need speed ,but I do need an increase in power on hills . They have...

I have recently purchased a new trike fitted with this motor.It has 5 assistance levels, but when I change into either of the highest levels it doesn't seem to have any more help than the middle level. I have asked Ananda about this , but they don't give a straightforward answer , only saying...
