Doright Manor is located in a hilly rural housing development about eight miles outside of Tallahassee, Florida. And when I say “hilly” I am not exaggerating. For as long as we’ve lived here we’ve talked about riding our bikes around the neighborhood. But that’s as far as we ever got to doing it. We could ride about a quarter of a mile and that was it.
Then my brother, Kelly, and his wife, Susan, stayed with us on their journey to Fort Meyers, Florida, and they left some items with us to be picked up when they passed through Tallahassee later in the week. Among those items was a pair of e-assist bikes. They told us to try them out, and we did. They were great fun. We could pedal for awhile and then take a break by using the battery power.
Studly Doright immediately began researching e-assist bikes and soon had one ordered for me.
Voila!

Pretty cool, right? He’s now looking for a conversion kit for his bike. Until then, I might share.
Peace, people.
How do you recharge them, and is it expensive to recharge? (I’m interested in getting one…)

They’re simple to recharge. Just plug into an outlet. Now, apparently the big thing is to buy one with a name brand battery. Here’s a helpful article: https://pedegoelectricbikes.ca/3-ways-to-prolong-your-electric-bike-battery/

Oh, I really like this idea! I was always a huge bike rider until I hit my 20’s or so and I just stopped. Now I’m so out of shape, I cringe at the kind of hilarity that would ensue if I attempted anything other than perfectly flat right now. I do miss my bike, though.

I used to practically live on a bike, but am so out of shape that I figured my bike riding days were over. Now, I just have to get the hang of riding this.
