We live on the edge of a small town and would love to bike it, they are also looking to add a bike trail in the next couple years. I just love the idea of having back rest etc, since I do have back pains. I also want to lose weight, I'm at 250lbs.
Now, I've heard some people say that its best to upgrade parts on the EZ-3. Which parts exactly and which parts do I need to upgrade to? I want to keep track so I know what do change after I buy it.
Also. Can this bike be used on grass/dirt? We do have some hills in town also.
I'm very excited and have just started saving for a EZ-3.

Don't get the EZ3, instead for a few bucks more you can get the EZ3 USX, it's a much better bike and has far less problems and you can get it with regular handle bars if you want, rather than the under the seat steering. The EZ3 has rear axle problems, bad bearings in the axle that grind when you are putting a lot of pressure on the pedals as you will when going up a hill.....I should know, as I've had two EZ3s and both have the same problems. The EZ3 USX has a totally differant rear axle assembly.
