I'm getting older almost 61 and I'm considering using a 1994 vintage Trek 950 as an electric assist bike to get me the 5 miles-one way-to the various sub teaching jobs I do.I have an ancient used 98 Suburban-gets 15 mpg in careful city driving(broke so new car not in cards).
I wonder if these kits are really peak speed 12mph to 18-20 mph-drop trip to under 20 minutes.
Sorry for the big aside
Thanks
Charlie
Hey Charlie- 67year-old here-- I've used the bolt on's so far on 3 bicycles and currently a tricycle. No problems-- up to 25 mph and having a great time!
