Need to get sedentary grandson off his ars3

[Gubbins]

Early 20's gamer grandson with stage one moobs wants to try cycling but wont, so i suspect he is to embarrassed to try in case he looks foolish on the hills.
His dad thinks an emtb might get him into it and Halfords seems the most logical place to get a cheap emtb except for the cutouts well documented in other threads. I havnt read of any lately so does that mean the problem is fixed?

Isn't that what you asked?

buy cheap buy twice

Or buy expensive and use once.

Yes, the Crossfire is the one that cuts out. The Crossfuse model with the Bosch unit is ok, but more expensive of course.

Take the tv control off him
He will have to get off his backside then to change channel
That will help ease him in

I didn’t realise you needed to lose weight as well
I guess it’s down to having a dongle for you
Lol

Build a ebike by adding kit. The project would be a good father son experience, would also show him how to maintain bike.

I do actually but it isn't about me.. not in a position to go looking at the mo and was hoping halfords had sorted out the cutouts on their cheaper bike.

Conveniently they have an old hybrid road bike that could be a donor bike so have made the conversion sugestion, although I think they would be better buying a decent MTB raher than spend money on a bike that needs new gears cranks and brakes so is essentialy scrap.

Second hand maybe ? Or one which has the same battery as your's so when he gives it up you can salvage the battery ??? Just a thought

Nice idea but new bike, when it eventually arives, will have 2 power tubes ....

Will he be okay with the "cheating" accusations he's likely to suffer, it would be a shame if it stopped him using the bike.
