    88 years old with shot knees on the trail

    88 years old with shot knees checking to see if I could handle an electric bike on the trail. I also wanted to see how much gear the bike panniers would hold. The bike had a walking assist mode that made a big difference. I have to be very carful in trail selection but other than that, everything turned out better than expected.

    I am pretty sure my last words will be the same. "Oh that didn't work well"

    And I hope I can manage Carver's laugh too.

    As always Thank You for posting.

    I always enjoy your commentary...the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Kudos, Carver! Getting out there and enjoying the great outdoors.

    And field-testing new gear, which is the only way to find out what really does, or does not, work.

    What is the range of your bike?
