Sounds like the 1M is what I'm looking for. The throttle plus PAS (and the moving the joy stick description) does sound a little complicated on screen, but it also sounds like something I'd need to...

I'm 4'11 with a very close inseam, and finding a "stock" bike was a bit of a nightmare. My Liv Beliv has 700c tires and I do get toe overlap, but so far it hasn't been a problem as long as I'm...

Beautiful photos! Never been to Wintrhop before--farthest I've been in north/central WA is Chelan. This might go on the travel list for next year. I'm guessing road traffic was light?
