Should I get an Ebike?
Hi. I知 overweight have failing vision and poor hand-eye coordination. I知 too scared to ride a motorcycle (or any bike on the street) and too lazy to ride an analog bike. What I want is to be able to go as fast as humanly possible, at least 25mph, down congested multi-use paths full of kids, dogs and old people on a Sunday afternoon. I need my bike to weight about a hundred pounds, have at least three inch tires and the frontal mass of an abrams tank. And god no! I don稚 want to peddle, or pay more than $1500 for this thing. Should I get an Ebike?
