Congrats for finding the holy grail of bike power assist. Your love of bikes has turned the corner uphill, into the wind, and you want those pedals to turn with much greater ease. You don't want to risk it on a moped, sharing the road with cellular phone inhibited drivers, while bikers just seem to fly by you in traffic. So plant a big cushy seat on that bike just to get it ready for Bicycle Power.
