Hi, all.

Looking to get the "available" suspension shock for wife's Breeze but can't find ANYTHING about it.

Does anyone out there know..

- Coil or Air Shock?

- Travel?

- Additional weight it adds? (She got the Breeze cuz she's ~105 lbs soaking wet and the Discover was too much for her to handle after she test drove it..so total bike weight is important).

..etc

She just got her Breeze yesterday. Went out for first ride on our local Rails to Trails path...hit a large bump..chain popped right off the front sprocket. Fortunately I was with her to put it all back together, but still..

Ugh.

Looking for a great eBike for wife after buying my Velotric Discover M last week.

Weight and maneuverability are "must haves" for her as she's ~105 lbs and small framed. She test drove the Discover 3 and M and felt they are way too heavy for her to handle at ~60 lbs ea.

So, looking at the ~50 lb Breeze as we ride our bikes 99% on rails to trails (mostly hard pack dirt/stone, occasional paved sections, mostly flat with occasional hills).

I like my big, knobby "kinda" MB tires on the DM. But the Breeze seems to have more pure street/commuter tires.

And no air fork OR suspension post.

I know we can change the tires and post. But the Breeze is already ~50 lbs with battery, and if we change the seatpost (to Velotric's suspension seatpost @ ~$110) and put more knobby tires on it for rails to trails (do we even "have to"?), not sure how much more weight that will add - and how much it might then start to resemble a Discover in terms of weight.

So..bottom line..is a "stock" breeze, out of the box a good fit for rails to trails (mostly hardpack dirt) riding, or should we be looking at something else?

Comfort is also a priority as we are both in our 60s. Me..early..her..later 60s. I REALLY like the upright position on my DM and would be looking for similar for her - even though she still rides her Specialized MB to this day.

Thanks for any/all help.
