E Bikes

Does anyone have an Ebike ? I've been thinking of treating myself to one for ages. I've spent hours and hours watching YouTube reviews, trying to decide on the best buy.  I  thought of the money and time i'd save on public transport, and 'cos of my  autism it would be an easier way to travel than on a crowded bus. One of the things that was putting me off was, i felt my eyes were getting worse and worse.  I had to give up driving a few years ago now, Well the hospital have recently said i'm partially sighted, so that decided it, i'd run people over, i'll stick to public transport.  Now tonight while watching Bbc news on Tv, they ran a story about fires being caused by charging ebike batteries. I googled, and while still not common, there have been hundeds of incidents, hundreds of people have died, and many more  injured.

  • I have balance problems Hacker.  I've made my old pedal bike into an exercise bike which sits in a spare room. I bought a stand which lifts the back wheel a couple of inches off the ground.

  • If you get one please say how you found it. I'd love one, would sure beat walking everywhere and using the dreaded bus! I have balance problems with bikes tho so not sure I'd be any good on one. Try to get one of the latest ones so they've worked out all the exploding battery problems.
