I'm a bit leary of single sided forks 'monoblades', but probably it has more to do with ignorance than reality. I know on my husband's wheelchair, that takes a lot of hard knocks with a power add-on, I just have not trusted any that we have demo'd. I also know how I ride, carrying a lot of kit...

My meaning was a standing scooter. Not sure what they are called, as 'scooter' seems to be used for so many vehicles in different places.

Am I correct in understanding that the UK does allow ‘Twist and gos’ (throttles) as long as the power cuts out at 15.5mph? Just asking because I have not researched there so much.

I have thought about a folding bike, but find it too limiting for when I want to go distances with hauling a lot. Though I have to say, the GoCycle G3 is intriguing. Maybe I would be better to get the bike I need for most things, and then consider a scooter for when assisting with my husband...

I appreciate all your input Dewey. I like the Pedego Comfort Cruiser, but I really think I need the battery on the frame (not the back rack) because I use a Burly Travoy trailer that has a hitch on the seat post. With a cruiser style that is low enough to stand with my feet on the ground...

Interesting. I've reprogrammed mobility equipment motors, and it makes sense to me that it could be. Me thinks I could find someone willing to help me, given the reason I want to do this, and not wanting to go fast. Also interesting about the Wisper. I have not looked into the UK market as much...

I tried a Victoria eTrekking 11.4 today with the Bosch Active Line Plus with walk assist. I was not able to use the walk assist while sitting on the bike, but was able to use it walking next to it. I'm not sure if this was because of my lack of understanding or it being calibrated for only...

That would be very nice of you -- thanks. I think even more important is if it works while sitting and not riding ;)

Interesting idea about the walk assist. I wanted it for the same reason as you when walking with a loaded trailer, but if it helps starting, that would be great. I haven't yet tested the Bosch Active Line, but it seems like a good motor. A few of the bikes I am interested in fromTrek and Cube...

Thanks for all of the good input Dewey. You have given me a lot to think over. My budget is probably around $3000. My husband uses a Spinergy ZX-1 power add-on and a Rio Mobility Firefly power handcycle. Both can go reasonably fast, but due to visual problems we go pretty slow at a fast(ish)...

I am looking for a step thru, crank forward, torque pedal assist that also has a half-twist or thumb throttle and the battery on the frame. I need to ride the bike in the city on paved bike paths where I will be assisting my husband who uses a wheelchair with a power add-on. I want step thru and...
