All a moot point, the one I chose was delivered yesterday but my above question stands.
I also should have clarified what it's intended use was. For me it will be to get to our little country mart half mile away but when I had my pedal bike I could not keep a speed that kept me safe. It's a road that can be scary in a car, let alone a pedal bike. It is about a half mile straight stretch that is a racetrack for idiots about half the time. We've lost two mailboxes, overturned in the ditch and folks up the road with brick mailboxes gone and people in hospitals.
Our booze store is about three miles away. TN has no drunk biking law.
A much better county market is about 8 miles away, couple decent hills along the way.
Short term my danish family is coming in July for a few weeks and bringing a 17 yo niece I've not met and in bike centric Denmark most people do not get a drivers license until their 20s, plus it cost several thousand dollars. There is a high probability that even tho we have a pool and su h that a 17 yo will want to disconnect from her step-mom and dad and we have several thing to do in less than 10 mile radius that she can escape to.
Here is what I landed on.
