We have a dedicated etandem with Shimano STEPS and I have just added a Cytronex system to our Comotion tandem. At combined ages of 157, we are limited in our climbing ability (not here in SW FL - yet!), even with very low gearing, so adding PAS opens horizons which were only achievable in our youth. We have nothing to prove - been there, done that, - so why suffer?
