Hello, Ron here, Jack of all trades, dangerous in most.
I am starting a new job about 2 miles from where I live. But . . . I have a major hill to climb to get home. Once up it I don't really need anything.
I have three bikes, a 1988 Schwinn High Sierra (haven't killed it yet); 2006 Montaque Hummer (some good points & some not so hot); 2006 Fuji Crosstown. Grocery getter and occasional commuter to my current job 7.5 mi each way, so far, so good but I should have held out for a 23" frame.
I am debating between simply changing the chainring to below 20 gear inches or considering a kit from http:// www. cheapelectricscootersonline.com / product / CR-HT
for either the Schwinn as it is a solid steel frame or the Montaque. I figure it would be easy to pop off if I choose to ride elsewhere and not a major investment to get started.
I have been searching the forums but haven't found any postings (at least with the search terms I tried <grin>).
Anyone tried one of these things? Comments? Bad experience with their batteries?
TIA
Ron
