Dropped by the parents' this evening and mom was out again "practicing". She's really being very sensible about it, for not having ridden for 25 years.
She says: "I want to practice riding slowly because it helps me re-learn my balance. It's easy to ride quickly."
Unfortunately, since she had expressed no interest in using the e-assist up to now, I hadn't yet shown her how to turn it on or use the throttle, and she said she would have tried it today on a little hill she encountered. But she knows how it works now.
My dad on the other hand just treats it like a scooter. No point in pedalling it if he can just twist the throttle. Sorta like my 9 year-old nephew!
