Now this was a good ebike review, you did us proud James. You showed us how anyone can put it together and get on it and ride. Sweet bike but I think you need some fenders for going through wet muddy trails. I have some on mine and it saves the back side from getting splattered. Mine is a bit heavy too so I have a ramp that attaches to my bike rack on the van so I can more easily get it up there. The more you ride it the more you will feel comfortable on any trail, I'm in my 60's, so you can do it. You'll have to do some videos now of you and Helen going on bike rides. This was fun, I really enjoyed you sharing this ebike adventure with us. Take care now.

I am 165 cm (5'5") and this bike (the Ranger) would be too tall for me, but I really like it. Do you think that by sawing off the saddle tube and replacing the handlebar stem with a shorter one, I could use it comfortably? With the saddle at a minimum, how many centimeters are there between the seat of the tube in the bike frame and the point where the saddle would rest if the tube was shorter? I need it to figure out how many centimeters I can make up by sawing the tube. Thank you very much.
