That thing should go up hills pretty well. Looks like it is pretty lightweight. Wink

Well...it's like I tell people when I ride my vintage Gitane bikes and they comment on having "only" 6 gears in the rear:

"You can only ride in one gear at a time."

I'd view it as 3 gears. One person peddles, then two people peddle, etc. Looks like a tank.
