Bought my wife a marin sausalito e2 for x mas, we never have never riddne together much because she is a slower rider than I , so thinking the ebike is a solution. However she is 67, I am 72, I've been a cyclist for 50+ yrs, been riding a 20 yr old Fuji Absolute and was looking at a new bike.non e bike, however I have a lot of arthritic joints - back, knees, hips, neck, but shoulders never bothered me much until recently riding in colder weather and upper arms/shoulders are aching. So looking for advice from other arthritic riders as to how effective an upright riding position is for mitigating shoulder pain. This will help me in choosing an e bike, currently considering a yamaha crosscore rc as it checks many of the boxes for me and has a moderate upright position and it's not too heavy at 53 lbs. Thanks for any comments. Reside in the Grand Junction area which good biking.
