I am 65 years old and 10 years ago cycle Lands End To John’o Groats. Due to a neck injury I had to hang up my road bike 9 years ago. Whilst on holiday in Holland I hired an ebike, loved it and bought a Trek Navigator t500+. it’s a big sit up and beg city bike designed for the Dutch market. I live in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire and it’s fine for the flattish areas and the range was about 30 miles, now I wouldn’t expect more than 15 miles. The battery needs re-celling as it can judder at times.
A couple of years ago I was on holiday in Brugge and found the classiest bike shop called Exceller Bikes, not big, but pure quality. They’re Brompton dealers and I thought I might buy one for my motorhome, I had a test ride and was very impressed, the owner said that as I live in a hilly area he could fit a Crystalite motor. It’s a little beauty.
Earlier this year I had an operation to repair the neck injury, the op was successful, but I had a stroke whilst unconscious and have lost the use of my left eye and have weakness in my left arm and leg. I want to get fitter again so I am now awaiting a Trek Dual Sport plus which should be ready next week, never bought a bike without a test ride and a fitting so fingers crossed.
