 Re: Riding in the hood.
Well I test rode the electric teddy. After it threw me on my butt, I decided that it's back to the trailer batteries. The bike with that kind of weight is just too far off balance for me. Then I also decided that it needs a smaller crank. Probably one from a 20" or even a 16" bike will do.
The teddy is three speeds so it will give me an even lower 1st gear, a gear probably about like low is now, and a regular bike type gear. I just won't have that highest cruise gear. Since I don't think I'll be doing any cruising it should be fine.
I really need the smaller crank to get the pedals down lower. I am hitting the motor on the back pedal. A smaller crank has shorter pedals. I will probably go looking for a bike today. |
