my wife decided we needed to buy bikes I was all for it but I was concerned that if we headed out on them and weren't paying attention we could get stuck. Being a "little older", I didn't want to have to call someone to come and get us so I talked her into buying electric assisted bikes. They are made by Pedigo and depending on the number of hills we can get about 25 to 30 miles on the batteries. Having that capacity we can peddle out as far as we like and if we get tired we can just motor all the way home. It really extends the range and fun factor.
