 Re: Riding in the hood.
Okay I have decided what to do with the giant mtb. I put the 24" coaster brake wheel on the back. Set it up as a one speed. I left the front brake on the wheel, then I added the 350 watt electric motor. That I have said before. Today I set the motor so that I can swing it up and ride the trail for exercise, then I can swing the motor down and engage it for the return up the big hill assist.. I have a couple of lead acid batteries I can attach to the frame of the mtb. Now they have a very short range usually, but if I ride it only to get home from the park it should be enough.
That should be good enough for me to ride and still get home alive. I don't mind the pain. It's the embarrassment of pushing the bike up hill that I hate. In other words I don't much like getting old. |
