We live several miles outside of town on a road with no shoulders, a 45 mph speed limit which everyone does 55 or 60 on and if we didn't carry our bikes by car to a safer place to ride, there's little question but we would be dead by now, so, yes, we do lift our bikes into the van and we do...

. . . . and only then if the panel is kept perpendicular to the sun's rays at all times. Solar panel advertised outputs are notoriously optimistic and seldom achievable in the real world. For size, weight and expected range, it's pretty hard to beat just carrying a second battery Don

I would recommend the Lectric XP, which is a folding, fat tire, 20 inch bike which comes in a regular frame and a step thru model which would be prefect for someone of . . . . shorter stature. Handlebars and frame both fold and many store them in a Walmart 38 gallon tub, which can be hauled in...

That would help (a little) with the high speed end of things, but it you also want a better grandma gear for off-road, then you've made that even worse Adding 2 teeth to the chainring is a much smaller change than subtracting 2 teeth at the cassette - True, it may be cheaper, but depending on...

You'd need to go to a cassette with 11 teeth in place of the 13 that you have now Don

Well, I found the exact freewheel I want - It's an 11-30 with ratios of 11-13-15-18-21-24-30, to replace my 13-16-18-20-22-24-28, but it looks like it's only made by one company (DNP Epoch) and it's either out of stock or backordered everywhere Don

Educate me please - I used the word 'cassette' incorrectly (for my bike) I think. There *are* lots of cassettes with ideal ratios to pick from, but I *think* my Lectric XP needs a freewheel and not a cassette, right? 11 teeth is about as low as is common for a granny gear and there are a...

Maybe time to consider a trike? I bought one for my wife and it's so much fun I'm riding it more than she is! Don

Finding a low enough granny gear for off-road trails, coupled with a tall enough top gear for road work is next to impossible to do - It seems like few cassettes are specifically geared for e-Bikes don

I could never eat a whole pie - Half a pi, or 22.5 pounds sounds about right for my fat tires 🙃 Don

"I’d like a step through, relatively light with higher handlebars for a comfortable ride." - By contrast, the X-Class at 81 pounds looks like more of a truck . . . . but it would haul two people up a hill for sure, until the battery died and then you'd need two people to push it the rest of...

Thank you! That makes sense . . . . and it sure solved my wife's problem. Assuming Joan's Valk is like my wife's New Trike, maybe we can solve hers too. If her Valk has the motor on the front wheel, the 'secret' is to move away from a standing stop using only a little throttle and then begin...

Where did you find a 17.5 AH battery that fits into the frame of an Lectric XP? Inquiring minds want to know 🙃 Don

For what it's worth, my wife has the same problem. It seems to ride perfectly normal to me, but she's struggling with it. I suspect (I hope anyway) that a little more practice and she'll be fine - I know there's nothing wrong with the trike Don

I just bought a Eunorau 'New Trike' for my wife. The single most important feature for us was . . . . it needs to fold small enough that we can transport it in the back of our mini-van and to my knowledge, this is the only one. The handlebars fold down similar to those on my Lectric XP and...

Hopefully there are a few others here who have this model, so I can learn more than I'm getting from the non-existent owners manual. I also have a Lectric XP that I've been riding for 6 or 7 months now. The trike is for my wife Don
