Au contraire, my friend, it's not a matter of need but want. I consider bicycles and ebikes to be separate experiences on the same road. They're both fun! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Time to get crankin’ on that duo speed so you no longer need the auxilery engines! Grin. Great looking bikes, especially the Pashley with the missing engine. Grin. The Cheveot has a large chainring — how’s it like hills? Enjoy the augmented ride!

Joe, That Cheviot is looking beautiful and as if it were made to fit that motor!

Thanks, Ann! I was waiting for your verdict on the outcome. Remember when this was going to be a Candy Apple Red superlight Chev without racks and fenders? I think it's 45 pounds now ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
