My shopmate Jason and I had our Caddies out for a ride today and I just couldn't resist snapping this pic.
(Click the pic for full 1164x size.)
Jason's is the 66cc Skyhawk with Speed carb and X-chamber jackshafted to a 7-speed hub (his NuVinci toasted).
Mine is the 960W electric connected direct to the pedal crank and then on to a NuVinci N170 hub.
I am no match for him on the open road but he couldn't pass me on our neighborhood run with frequent stops and turns, especially if pedal which brings up the NuVinci with an electric, I can gear it how hard I want to pedal and the motor don't care.
We are quite the site on our runs to the bike shop, hardware store, auto parts place etc.
The bikes fit ours needs.
He relies on his for everything including getting here and home every day.
I just use mine for short local store runs.
Anyway I just thought I'd share that pic ;-}
