On the other, it can be dangerous, a bit awkward, and extremely heavy if it runs out of batteries or you decide to go with pedal power just for fun. This innovative "do it yourself" design doesn't solve all of these problems, but it does take a completely new approach. Instead of forcing buyers to commit to the electric bike design entirely, spending thousands of dollars usually on a second bike, one for off-road/exercise and one purely for longer assisted rides, it...

She doesn't let this vertical disability get her down however, she just requires seats that can be adjusted vertically to help make up for it. It doesn't hurt to have a four way adjustable steering...
