A while back I asked for advice on here for an ebike for my Dad in his early 80’s
Despite me trying my best he ignored all my advice refusing to look at ebikes, until last night I got an email linking to this
Orbea Gain Ebike
He has pretty much said he is buying it. If he was younger I would say fine, but he will be going flat bar to drops, and to a high top tube compared to what he has been used to. 🙄
He likes it because it is light. I don’t know about the tech. The motor appears comparable to other bikes (250w) however I assume the battery will be the limiting factor (36V/6.9A) He will only be riding 20miles ish max.
How can I persuade him that it may not be the best bike for someone in their 80’s… or do I just let him get on with it? He is a stubborn old bugger
