    the idea behind electric bikes and cars for that matter is great, its the battery technology that holds it up. electric motors have heaps of torque available , the downside is the amount/weight of batteries required for a decent range... just needs the production costs to drop

    Interesting & they sold it to me. Wonder how long it'd take to get used to going gearless & silent.

    I think just after the first crash :whistle: flying into a corner with no noise means you could be going just that little too fast.

    yes there are nothing new but this one looks good and is quick / usable :rubhands:

    I think the new single molecule coating that came out last year is designed it be great for making super small light weight batteries :thumbsup:
    but this bike didn't seam to be silly with weight or the mileage it could do. A full charge could be done in the time it takes to get served at rye or wessons :lol:
