I currently ride a mountain bike on the beach. It's usually windy in one direction, so I am considering an e-bike Does this bike exist:
Rider: 5'3", 135 lbs, 70 years old
Terrain: Beach ride at low tide with flat, firm-packed sand. Tires on my mountain bike are about 2" to handle sand.
Distance: about 25 miles (out-and-back ride, e-bike assistance needed in one direction only, due to wind)
Speed: slow (scenic beach ride)
WEIGHT (this is the catch!): MUST BE LIGHT! There are about 8 steps from the walkway down to the beach. My mountain bike is less than 25 pounds, which I can carry up and down the steps. Local stores seem to feature bikes that are too heavy for me to carry.
Extras: Do NOT need fenders, rack, kickstand, lights, suspension, tubeless tires, folding, or security features
Price: Flexible
THANK YOU for your suggestions.
