  1. You asked so here its is, 1 how do these perform in hill country with say 40% grades?
    2.
    Most are open too, so limited only to bright sunny weather, do they come with hard to versions and heater/defoggers so they could be used on somewhat less than optimal days?

  2. the Hopper could do with a pair of proper 19.0 in. alloy wheels shod with 155/60 R19 radial tyres & disc brakes with ABS & EBD . . . because those bicycle tyres are no good, regardless of the city commute theory . . .
