tiny chainring..

I found a 6" chain ring no doubt off a 16" bike. I put it one the chain drive bicycle. I tested it and it picks up the pedal much later. It is easier to be the bike moving but not much for helping with the speed. It should be better on those hills that seem to be giving me a problem this morning. I have no idea how it will effect the range. I got about eight miles on the charge this morning and it still had something to give. How this will work I don't know. It should cut the range a little since the pedal assist will be starting later. We shall see.
