Ride Description: We rented Trek Verve + 2 e-Bikes at Nor-Door Cyclery and planned to ride all day, but discovered the 250 watt Bosch motors are not powerful enough, even in TURBO, for me to navigate hills with my weak legs. I was struggling on small hills, and my fitness is terrible. We only rode for an hour and returned the bikes.
My Specialized Como has 550 watts. If I can still get on and off the bike without falling, I should still be able to ride it this year, But my constant fear of falling when I come to a stop has me thinking my bike riding days are almost over
