Don't worry, I'm not about to mess with batteries on my own. I get in enough trouble just making coffee!

I appreciate what you say about proper bike setup. The only thing working against efficiency is my tendency to crash on a 26" bike. That pretty much stopped when I switched to a 24" because for safety's sake at my age I do need to be able to put both feet flat on the ground when I stop. The 26" was fun and easier to ride, true; but I gave it up after the 3rd mishap when braking.

While I certainly adore the Striker kit, if I had that kind of $ I'd be saving up for an Elf.

Not easy on the low-income side of life, is it? But then if I'd retired with all kinds of $, I'd still be on a ranch with a straight-line Egyptian Arabian carriage horse. I understand animals but am virtually ignorant about machines.
