I've bought a milsub wannabe from this guy, to arrive in a couple of weeks. Fuck the provenance or whatever - I'm not buying it for the logos - I had to google Comex to even know what it was. I just like the way it looks and don't feel like it's hurting anybody. Hater's gonna hate though. Looking forward to it arriving.

to help her not become lazy and unfit
To my mind, this is a misconception. It will be up to your mum how much she uses the electric assistance. If you think of the e-element as her insurance policy, you could argue that it might encourage her to be bold and make trips that she otherwise wouldn't make.
FWIW - I have several years of experience of delivering inclusive cycling programmes and I'm confident that the likes of Wheels for Wellbeing and their kind would back up my assertion.
I do agree about the weight issue - perhaps look into options where the weight is carried as low as possible to minimise the top-heavy feel.
Re the smaller wheels - my experience is that a bike with smaller wheels can feel more unsteady if your balance is sub-optimal. I'd encourage you to trial a smaller wheeled bike before you give that option too much serious thought.
You've had loads of good advice/responses on here - it's great to see such a supportive response to keeping your mum on two wheels!
Yeah I hear you. I just wanted a black diver that wasn't too big (skx013 is good size for me) and this appealed to me. I'm not really a 'brand' person so whether it's Lorus or Longines, I'm not really fussed.
