Drives through chain and gears so excellent hill climber. The best power management system ever on an electric bike. The best build quality in the industry. Can easily be ridden without power, almost like an ordinary bike then. Changing the rear sprocket will alter the speed performance to suit the owner. Can tow almost any size trailer and load.
Weaknesses:
Can only be bought second hand now as it was discontinued due to high cost of making it. pedelec only.
Summary:
Widely accepted as the best electric bike ever made. Versions include 3 or 4 speed Shimano hubs, and the best with 5 speed SRAM hub. Bought with two batteries, in nearly four years and 6000 miles I've done nothing other than grease the chain and fit puncture resistant tyres.

£1099.00
Time Owned:
2 1/2 Years
Local Terrain:
Very Hilly
Strengths:
Can scale almost any hill.no breakdowns.
Weaknesses:
Rear light has a mind of its own. Front light cannot get the bulbs anymore. Don't like dutch style handle bars. Battery charger failed after 2 years. Thanks to flecc for sourcing another from the states. Would like a twist and go option. My ideal bike would be a wavecrest tidalforce but no longer made.
Summary:
Very expensive when new. Neat battery storage. Good lock as standard. Good range.I travel 9miles each way. Tackles tough hills on way home with ease. It's still going strong.
