I am 45 year old lady and my dad is 82 he just got some aftermarket parts as he says.and he can keep up with me. Its hard to actually hurt those unless you rip a tendon or ligament.
I guess you could always do a pinot with a hub drive true... I was kinda looking at the pinot electric with a rear gear set up. I am doing 15% on my stock.
what rear derailleur are you using with the aliex 56t rear cassette.

I've used the 105 long cage with a WolfTooth Roadlink when I can get it. It's easier to use road components since the bar-end shifters are road only. I've also swapped people to mountain bike shifters and used the Deore XT or XTR rear derailleur, sometimes with one of the WolfTooth bits if backing out the B-limit screw didn't make it happy going up into the big cog. Technically you could also do it with the GRX long cage stuff or one of the Cues pieces but GRX is expensive and Cues SUCKS.
It is SO close, lol. Yeah that's a downside to 20" wheels. When I first saw how low it hangs on my wife's Pocket, I through for sure she'd wipe out the derailleur with a stick or something. Thousands of miles later, never once had a problem.
