[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 4320366, member: 1055"] I've been a road bike rider for some time, my Wife has joined me in the past, good times together although she and I ride at different speeds. After 12 years on a used bike I bought myself a new bike a few months ago, got me interested in riding again so for me it was worth it. Also wanted to get my Wife back into it but a traditional road bike wasn't the solution. I ended up getting her a Trek Verve + Gen3, she is having a blast riding, and it is absolutely kicking my *** trying to keep up with her. There are some days when she actually suggests we ride which makes it all worth while. The Verve tops out at 20mph for the assist, the range depends on the amount of assist selected and the terrain. She is running in Turbo mode exclusively so the battery consumption is much higher. We have knocked out several 20-25 mile rides and it always has ~40% battery life left. So far we are really happy with it, the price isn't the cheapest but the smiles per mile ratio is really high. [/QUOTE]
