Thanks for the reply Robert...currently my husband and I go everywhere by a regular motorbike. I am interested in electric bike as a more ecofriendly form of transport .Also I get back pain from motorbike transport but never did from riding a normal bicycle.
I'm thinking of electric rather than normal bicycle because sometimes in the heat riding 7 km or so and back with some hills seems like a lot. Normally I wouldn't think to go much further than that distance with it....and often it would be just riding into town - about 5km without too many hills...but roads are not in great condition here so distances feel further.
