Cycling long distances and climbing hills without knee pain using an electric bike

And for restless leg syndrome, try a glass of tonic water before bed.

Edit: I forgot to add, the Gin or Vodka is optional.
Iron supplements helped my mom get rid of restless leg syndrome. Of course that will only work if your iron is low.
 
Thanks Court for sharing your personal life challenges. You have created , probably, in my opinion, one of the best sites that bring together a community of wonderful people that share a common goal. Continue the good work that you’ve done and may God bless you.
 
You could start a topic in the custom builds section of this forum to get other opinions. Make sure to state it’s a trike. There are a couple of people on the forum who have made builds with that kind of vehicle.

My personal opinion: go with the BBSHD. It’s powerful and won’t require pressing on the pedals too hard. I think that’s what you want. There’s a problem though: as far as I know your build will be illegal in Italy as it’s over 250W. Your only option would be to have the vehicle classified as L1e-a (but you need to stay under 1000W). However that could get very complex for a custom build.

Essentially your Haibike was a bicycle, but your trike is L1e-a. That’s because it’s over 250W and will maybe have a throttle.

It’s explained here (in Italian):

https://www.google.ch/amp/s/www.touringclub.it/notizie-di-viaggio/che-differenze-ci-sono-tra-e-bike-bicicletta-elettrica-e-bicicletta-a-pedalata?amp

In a nutshell it’s this:

- Le L1eA sono cicli a due o tre ruote progettati con la trazione a pedale ed equipaggiati con motore elettrico ausiliario di potenza nominale inferiore a 1000 W e in grado di esprimere velocità non superiori a 25 km/h.
- Le L1eB sono i cicli a due o tre ruote dotati di motore elettrico con potenza nominale continua massima sino a 4000 W e velocitàdi costruzione non superiore ai 45 km/h.

P.S. I can imagine that maybe you don’t care about the legal aspects, but we have a duty not to misguide you. After that you can do what you want with the info. I’m sure you understand what I mean... ;)
The motor is actually better on the BBS02. I have both and like both but the o2 is zippier.
 
I used to have Bad, Bad knees from playing Football, running track, and being in the Army MP's learning Karate and Judo, and was at the point where I needed something done badly.
So, 10 years ago, I had both my knees replaced (at the same time), and have been Extremely active ever since,with NO pain, ,and turned 80 this last January.
We FINALLY both received our Ride1UP 700's and my wife and I rode our 'Maiden Voyage' on them this last Thursday, and Luck Being, we had NO problems what-so-ever with them and had a Wonderful time. Heck, I didn't even have to honk my 'Ahooooga Horn' at anyone. Next time, we might even take our Pups with us in the 'Pup Carts' I made to pull be hind our bikes. If I knew how to 'post pictures', I would do it. Hummm, maybe 'Attach Files' I'll try it. Best to All,
great i want one
