Thanks for the info, Steve. Two things rule out this one; weight limit and 24" front wheel. I am 270 lbs. and the battery and miscellaneous hardware is probably another 30 pounds. The other problem is that I already have a 700c front wheel with a motored hub. I carefully looked over the...

I don't think I could get on and off of a recumbent, it would be more of a wreckumbent bikerider. ~Lee

Duh! I hadn't thought about re-spoking the front wheel. I am going to call my bike shop if and when they open today and give them my requirements and needs. Thanks! ~Lee

I am getting old and a little unstable - balance is kind of wonky due to brain trauma. I keep on crashing my ebike. I've had a few nasty events and I think it is time for a trike. I am on Social Security but I have saved enough to purchase a tricycle. I do need some guidance on a model that...

I appreciate the encouragement. Congrats on the weight loss, that and the exercise is great for your health. Be careful and enjoy yourself. ~Lee

Two to four miles a day, three to five days a week. Nod to pedestrians, horn for the kiddies. ~Lee

I disconnected my front derailleur and use only the big ring. I only use 5-6-7 in the rear. When I first built my e-bike I usually used PAS 3 and occasionally PAS 4. Now I enjoy a more leisurely ride in PAS 1 and once in a while PAS 2. My rides are relaxing and friendly; "beep beep, How...

I spent my summers working on a farm. My buddy, Joe, and I would hike two miles to the state route and start collecting bottles on our way to the general store/gas station* in Jelloway, Ohio. We paid 52 cents for a box of .22's. A couple of the neighboring farmers paid us to keeps the...

Helmets and seatbelts are real life savers. Back in the '60's I raced stockcars and believe me you do need them. I got pushed sideways into a concrete wall and other than a bruise from my seatbelt I was okay. I fared better than the jerk who intentionally pushed me. He got a battered face...

I had a nasty crash two days ago. I was going slow over a mowed grassy area, and was going to cross a curb onto a roadway. The ground near the curb was eroded and masked by the grass. My bike flipped with me going over the handlebars. My 270 pound Adonis-like hulk hit the pavement hard and the...

Good for you, ya ole' geezer! (I won't be 72 until mid November.) Even though I reside in Ohio's snowbelt, I plan on riding my e-bike this winter. I am going to bring the battery inside our home when I'm not riding. ~Lee

71

I'm 71 and gave away my beloved bike to a neighborhood kid a few years ago. I really missed riding but worried I might get stranded away from home. Last winter my daughter gave me a great road bike that she used on marathons. I attempted to built a gas powered moped but it never worked right...

👍I ordered a battery at the same time; it promptly arrived in pristine condition. The wheel/hub kit went across China, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia to finally depart Singapore to the USA where it got misplaced/mishandled. I pictured third world residents driving donkeys laden with goods...

I purchased a Bafang front wheel conversion and battery from Greenergia through Amazon. After a month of waiting and tracking it all over the world, I contacted Amazon and they found it and had it delivered. The wheel kit finally arrived in the most beat-up taped/re-taped carton, I have ever...
