It is a good bike in design. The 7 gears make all the difference against a single speed bike. Where the bike does fall down a bit is that the brake levers are the wrong way around. The right is the rear brake, which is opposite to UK normal accepted design. The mudguard and the on-off micro switch both broke on mine Heybike replaced them with a new rear mudguard and a new switch / display unit, quite promptly. With the speed limit raised ( very easy to do in app or on display ) it can cruise at 20 mph ( where permitted ) and very quickly returned to 15 mph on the app, when you need to do it in a hurry ?

I really like this bike, but the frame does seem a bit small for someone 5'9, and according to the site the larger version is 2 cm higher in the head tub. Very nice bike though.

I am 5 foot 11 inches tall and my large ec 1 fits great.

Now this one is tempting

Yeah, really nice bike. Good point is motor connector to disconnect motor for puncture repair and bad thing is no brake sensors so it wont cut off motor power when you press brakes if youre still pedalling but most people will stop pedalling when theyre breaking. Just surprised its missed out on it since everything else is so nice and well done. For sure the best looking eBike Ive seen so far and Im not easy to impress.

you missed out that the brakes are the wrong way around for UK accepted design, with the right lever operating the rear brake. So you have to re-learn how to safely apply brake pressure without skidding. More of an annoyance really.
