  • Can post it to you if you like, or we can meet up for physically-distant pizza and plant swaps! I'm in SE1 on Thursday evenings but other than that largely out in Watford still. Would be lovely to see you (both)

    @tinakino I can't @ you because i don't know how to internet but your reply/thoughts sound totally reasonable - as an OTP solution a very-low-stepthrough, e-bike or not, and not too heavy are important. I wish I had recommendations for a brand but I'm sure you'll do the research! Good luck and let us know what you decide.

    @Hulsroy that is the OT's dream. What a wonderful bike. I write a blog about healthtech/OT/ older adult care, can I feature it on my site? Would just require a few more questions via DM :)

  • Sure thing

  • Good luck and let us know what you decide.

    Thanks!
    Purchase will most likely be postponed until spring 2021 as she would not be driving around on a bike much in the winter months anyway.

    I have been using my folding bike (which is actually not fold-able) a lot recently and couldn't help but think that this kind of bike would be a lot easier to handle for my mum compared to a regular "big" bike.

    As the bike would presumably be used for short-ish shopping / "leisure" trips, wouldn't that be a good option?

    Are there folders / "little bikes" with electrical assist some of you can recommend?

    Didn't dare to check the prices yet but wouldn't a Bromton eBike actually be a good idea?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but I get the impression a small bike would be much easier to handle and less problematic in case of a fall?
