I bought my Mom the Navigator as well... it is VERY upright and considered a comfort bike... heck the name is perfect cause it IS comfie! My Mom has no interest in doing the types of rides that I do, she just wants it to ride to the coffee shop and for when she visits the grandkids, to ride with them... she'll be doing 5-10 miles tops... that being said, I think it's a perfect "tool around town" bike!
