e-bike for 4' tall rider
hello all,
My 18 year old daughter with down syndrome is only 4' tall. I've been thinking an e-bike might be a good solution for her since low muscle tone means she tires out quickly. However, finding a kids e-bike that is not a little kid motor cycle thing is not so easy.
So, I'm thinking of maybe a retrofit of an e-bike kit onto something (yet to be determined) might be good.
Desires:
- proportional drive, and not a "throttle" - I don't want the bike to be able to get away from her if she panics. so, if she stops peddling I want it to stop driving.
- limit on top speed
- range >10 miles reliably, 20 would be great.
- single speed gearing preferred.
I'm open to kits or complete bikes, even trikes (she'd likely need training wheels).
Thoughts?
