Will you be doing a review of the Bosch performance line sport on a trike showing its performance on the street.

[DemiGod..]

IF you are on relatively flat ground, you can go along way as the motor not needed on the flats .
But if you are on a hilly route, you gonna be lucky to get 30 miles on full assist.

Now here is where the range anxiety comes in .
As you get tired you increase the level off assist, reducing the estimated range. On ECO you will probaboly get 60 miles estimated range, when you get to Turbo mode, the estmated range will become half if not less, the battery probably gonna die before you get back, but you need the help, that's why you upped the level of assist in the first place - oh dear.

Rather than getting e ssist, you can simply get lower gearing. You will take longer to get from A to B, but what's the hurry? You can cycle all day if your gearing is low enough for the hills and you.

I have a partial spinal cord injury and need a bike that I have the option to use ONLY electric when I am exhausted and my leg gives out. Is there a good way to get me out of the house and utilize a trike?

[merlinmagnus]

I have some hills around my area where the rear tire of my trike just spins out unless I hit them at a run. With that heavy motor on the end of the front boom but the battery behind the seat, what's the net increase/decrease weight on the rear tire?
