    But if I wanted something to register and ride like that, it would be a Triumph 900 Scrambler.

Not just the hills themselves but the roads here are narrow and riders are killed routinely by dumbass drivers.

    Now that my dog is nearing 16 years she tires out after only a mile I'm starting to think about riding again. E-bikes have really taken off and with electric assist for the hills one of the issues with riding is going away. If I buy a fat tire bike I can do trail riding so the traffic issue goes away.

    There's a company in Seattle that makes what they call a Rad Rover with a 750 watt wheel motor for $1500. It only weighs 60 pounds and will do 28 mph on the flats and on a 15% grade like we have a lot of here still do a respectable 8.

    I'm comparing that with a Raleigh Electric that costs significantly more but has a mid drive Bosch motor. However it's only 350 watts. And they are all sold out on their website.

    I like the mid drive system but the price of the wheel motor is difficult to ignore.
    My daugher & son n-law lived in Goldsboro for a few years......

    That leftest bike made by commie Seattle west coasters seems like the better deal, but w/ shipping is the local bike more competitive??

    Topping out @ 28 MPH(the site says top speed of 20 MPH is certainly faster then peddling but will it help you get out of the way of the texting/drunken locals??

    Do the local trails allow motorized??

    Have you considered a scooter for small motorcycle-street legal??

    Leftist bike? Shipping is free if I assemble it, which I would prefer to do anyway.

    These things are allowed wherever bikes are. That's the purpose of a fatty. If I wanted a road bike I'd get one of those.

    If I wanted a motorcycle I'd get one.

This is at our waypoint, elevation about 5000 feet. The BRP is visible in the background under her chin.
    That is one happy dog! Nice! Very nice!

    I have a small house in a resort area. We have both paved roads with little traffic, unpaved roads, and unpaved bike trails. We also have a ski slope that is open all summer to hikers and mountain bikes.

    I was in Seattle a few months ago visiting friends. They are hardly leftists. In fact they live about a mile from Rad Cycle's only store. I've asked her to give it a look and take it for a test ride. The hills around there are fairly steep and should test the thing out.

    Traffic is why I don't ride around here, where I live during the week.

    A good normal bike can set you back 1500 easily. 1500 is not bad at all for an ebike. I considered one for my commute bit eventually decided to get a scooter instead.
