Time Owned: 14 Months

Local Terrain: Moderate Hills

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Great all rounder capable of high mileage on one charge with assistance from rider. Excellent hub gear change, the seat will spoil you - it really is comfortable. Totally reliable in the time I have owned it.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
High pressure required to work rear brake. Hub's suspension stem suffers from friction and wears badly, bike stand too narrow. Bike blows over
replaced it with one with wider stubs on the legs from Halfords. Dynamo does not like to work in wet weather, the paint has also worn off the inside of the rear mudguard through going down muddy cycle tracks.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
One of its biggest plus points is the 36v battery. I have tried both lithium and metal hydride the m/hydride suits it fine see no advantage on this bike with lithium batteries.
