Enjoyable review Dave. As you say, though, charging the battery, or one fixed permanently to the bike, will be a problem for many people not living in a house or one with a small garden. Now, hydrogen may be an alternative. I believe Segway are bringing one out in 2023.

I like the review. It looks easier to ride than a Sunra, but doesn't have removable batteries like the Maevin or a Type 2 cable to connect to a charging point like my Zero. There is an electric Ducati - but it is for the eMoto GP races, as they have taken over from Energica in making the bikes for those races. I was surprised how few electric motorcycles I came across in Ireland when touring on my Zero DSR. And Ireland has more charging stations per ha than the UK.

Two issues for me. 1. Charging when living in upper floor condo/apartment. This thing weights close to 300 pounds. Too bad the batteries do not quickly remove for charging indoors. 2. Top speed. On a state highway with only a top speed of 45mph, you'll CONSTANTLY be causing traffic congestion. Even the slowest drivers go faster than that and they cause congestion. Even on the single lane country roads here in the states, average speed is 55-60 mph.

Did the FJR scare you to a scooter, kidding! E-bikes, like cars, are coming and here to stay, and they have their place for sure. I’ve been interested in Zero electric bikes (not sure if y’all have them across the pond), never ridden but it could be fun if you had a few bikes. I don’t think I could be convinced to go e-bike if I only had one a bike though. Keep up the great videos!

Fantastic review, and I, too, LOLed at the 'shopping for melons or a toilet' comment. How's the acceleration on this beauty? Also, I wonder if, as with electric push-scooters, there's a way to bypass the 70kmh cap with a little electronics trickery, possibly even making the cheaper, 50kmh model faster. No doubt illegal, if possible.

biggest con of this e-scooters/bikes is their lack of noise, so traffic is not aware of your presence. it can be seen just by people trying cross a road, you have to brake all the time in last second. this is one major safety issue, if you ask me. drivers are not aware of bikers even on regular ice bikes that much, let alone in this e grinders. they need to do something about this.

Good vis mate but my opinion-What a disappointment again from Vespa first they started making Chinese Vespas and wasted the free chance given to them to simply make new motors for their original Real Vespas of which there are tens of thousands everywhere, and secondly by making this crappy way too over priced slow arsed Chinese Vespa knock off. I converted my 64 GT200 to Electric, it is now a 72v 10kw motor wheel system with 520 nm's of torque, 0-100kph in 1.2 seconds and top speed of 175 kph on 12" upsized rims front and rear Disc Breaks and a 90ah battery pack. for half of what Cheeps is attempting to scam from people for this rubbish plastic trash
