Well, I've been out and about and have tried a few bikes now. By far the most upright and comfortable has been this Gazelle with the impulse, mid-mounted motor in a 61 cm frame. My good lady wife suggested that a step through frame might be better for me, and she is (as ever) completely right.
Steve Mills of Powarider Ltd ( Take charge bikes ) in Woking was Kindness itself when we rocked up to his shop yesterday, and despite his just coming back from the NEC show AND he isn't supposed to be open Mondays, took the time and trouble to explain a few technical issues to us.
I'm awaiting further details before making a decision.
It's not a brand I'm familiar with, but the build quality seems superb, it is, however, about £700 more than I said I wanted to pay!.
