I use mine to rehab my ankle and lower leg after a motorcycle accident. It gets me out of the house and I ride it on the town's bike path. If I hit a hill that cause a little pain, I use the petal assist and when I have gone farther than I should have the battery gets me back home.
The motorcycle riding is over- I came out lucky. Also, if you haven't gone 20 mph on a bicycle - you need to because it feels fast! wink
