I don't get candidacy for knee replacement until I'm 40. I'm 24, and have no bursa behind my knee caps. I feel your pain. Literally. Both knees.

Yeah. I'm only 46. I got less than 1mm of cartilage left in the joint. I've had issues for years, but, you know, I'm a guy, don't need no stinkin' doctors. But this past year has just been too much. And then I see how bad it is... Ugh... When one of the best sports orthopedics in the state says thats ugly, well... We tried all non-narcotic solutions, cortisone only lasts a shrot while, trying the gel now.

IMA = Integrated Motor Assist, which means the addition of a motor driving the wheels. Just like its implementation in an Insight.
HSD = Hybrid Synergy Drive. Look it up to understand how it works, but it basically integrates an eCVT into the hybrid system, just like in the Prius. MG1/2 are the motor/generators in HSD and PSD is the Power Split Device.

Id go for a front hub motor.
Basic bolt on kits aren't too expensive, and come with everything, from the wheel to the battery pack, charger, throttle..
