Y'all have said such kind things -- and I am very blessed!
It would be a shame not to try. See if you can find a friend with a treadle to try one out. Also find Treadle Lady's website and her videos on Youtube - she's easy to find on google, and she's pretty inspiring. And then if you try and really don't get on with treadling, you can always stick the motor back on.
