The legs aren't like they used to be. I live in a pretty hilly area. I am in the Dundas Valley, off the edge of Niagara Escarpment. I spend a lot of my time on my bike, shopping, touring, volunteering, etc. But, I live at the top of a hill. All my trips finish with an uphill climb. I realized last fall that if I wanted to keep up my #Biking I was going to need an #ebike Today, after a lot of research, I landed on the #Velec #R48. A #Quebec #Canadian based company, the R48 is built for comfort, not speed. It has lots of room for paniers, a pizza rack out front option and even a special rack for a second battery on the back, if I am so inclined. I like the shiny red finish. I am excited to continue my #Biking for another few years yet. #BikeToot #BikeTooter
