This thread, along with the consistently very positive reviews of Clems and Cheviots and other "cruiser"-type Rivendells makes me think about buying one of these long-stayed, upright Rivs with an electric motor of some sort, particularly as I progress ineluctably toward senility; perhaps a elegant Copenhagen wheel?
I myself put fewer than 200 miles on my old car between a mid-January 2020 oil change and mid June -- this is not virtue, this is simply a very quiet life and several bicycles and living near things; my daughter, Covid-ed home from college in mid-March, put another ~1,200 miles on it between 1st May and mid-July. But for those days when it is windy, or rainy (I have Sou'wester hat and rain cape and spats), or when I want to carry big loads, an electric bike may be a real option, and if this bike retains something of the "feel" of the best Rivs I've already owned, then all the better. With that windup, will you-plural post photos and descriptions of your electrified Rivendells? And tell us how much they can carry, and how you carry it? Thanks.
