Still Ebiking At 83
The point of this article is to explain how ebiking can keep you biking into advanced ages, even for some people who have severe handicaps. Here’s the background to my story: When I was 77, I had a serious injury while trick water skiing. I tore my pelvis apart and it took emergency orthopedic surgery, 17 days in the hospital, 6 weeks in a wheel chair, and several months more on crutches before I was walking unaided again.

My first ebikes had no suspension or just front shocks, so I continued riding on paved roads and trails. However, about five years ago, I purchased my first full-suspension mountain ebike. The full-suspension ebike lured me off road for the first time and changed my life.
