So nice to see an electric bike at a sensible price/range/performance point. 🤔 Commuters could really benefit swapping their cars for one of these, or at least taking the electric bike to work most days and saving the car for bad weather and transporting lots of groceries etc. 👍

They're giving a range of 84 miles which isn't bad. That's a decent afternoon ride although EV makers are a bit naughty because when quoting these figures they don't tell you that they're based on urban mileage which is where they do best. Out on the open road you can virtually halve that figure, meaning that on this bike, you need to start looking for a charge after about 35 miles. Fine for most commuters which is clearly where this bike is targeted. Perhaps you could do a real world range test on a mixture of urban and open roads while you've got it

It was a fantastic Day in the heavy rain, like riding on a river bed, the water was splashing over my head at one point. A lad (Thai) came with us on a Suzuki 650, (a very brave man).
