Hi Steven,
I am interested in electric assist bicycles and trailers. I think we're going to have to do a lot of adventures and work with them. Do we currently have batteries that could help an electric bicycle, say, pedaling 2/3 of the time go 20 miles, pick up something 50 pounds, and return for a recharge to home? I am interested in how much distance, hill and weight we could take and still get back home for a recharge.
Thanks,
John S

Electric Vehicles NW has a really great overview of what electric bikes are capable of:

I bought my first electric bike from them over a decade ago and they really know their stuff (especially about how these bikes perform in the hilly PNW)

We kept yelling "heart attack" and he kept shaking his head. Charades was the tiny ad's idea.
