The bike is awesome and attracts attention where ever I go. I am now 64 and my mountain bike pedalling days are over for me now, the power assistance on the Big Dog is huge and rekindled my love for the outdoors, just need better weather. The bike can go anywhere even off road and is incredibly stable. Stopping power on such a heavy bike is great thanks to the hydraulic brakes and you'll need it if you tinker with the settings and unleash all the power.
