If there is one thing I simply cannot stand it is a stationary trainer. |

Whizzer Company built gasoline motor add-ons for bicycles and later complete motorized bicycles as far back as 1939, which never became wildly popular. While today it seems that e-bikes are now on the way to becoming almost a standard. I read, for example, that home delivery - Pizza for example - in Singapore is almost all by e-bike. Why not Whizzer and why e-bike? -- cheers, John B. |

Why not Whizzer and why e-bike? As a guess, the weight and size of the motors. Then there is the issue of faul, unhealthy air. Whilst a hot radiating ICe is good in winter, it is lousy in summar here. |
