I am a couple of months short of 73 and have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I am still riding but my trips have gotten shorter (typically 20 miles with a snack break mid way) and any kind of hills are tough. I am keeping my eye on ebikes and expect to buy one in a couple of years. I want a light weight bike so I am eying Specialized Vado SL. With each year, the quality and choices increase so I will continue to hold out for now. I hope to start back up on VBT trips soon and will select the ebike option to make sure I can ride all the routes and can get a better feel for them.
