This is my new electric bike. Or should I say relatively new as it's now coming up for two months old.
It's modelled along the lines of a modern Mountain Bike but differs in that it also sitted with a 200w motor in the rear hub. It weighs in at whopping 38kg and can travel at speeds of upto 20mph (oficially its limited to 15mph/25kph but does slightly more than this) with electric assist. It can also be pedalled like a normal bike and has a six-speed deraileur gear arrangement. There is full supension on both the front and rear so it is a very smooth ride.
Overall its an expensive piece of kit but is well worth the price.
I'm not a lazy bugger as such for having one. My health conditon means that riding a normal bike over long distances (which I do regularly) causes me a lot of bother healthwise, so this is the ideal solution for me.
Although it is motorised, it is classed as normal cycle. Therefore, there are no requirements for Tax, Insurance, MOT, having a license or even any requirements for wearing a helmet. You pays your money and you can just ride them away.
As with a normal cycle you are required to display lights back and front during hours of darkness and the usual reflectors front, back and on wheels are also required.
