----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
* Easy to ride
* Nice power from motor
* Good range
* Nice spread of gears
* Good suspension on the front for road use
* Good tyres for everyday road use
* Range seems good (have not been able to exhaust the battery yet)
* Good positive gearchange
* The motor is powerful enough that I have not had to pedal unless I wanted to. The motor will pull you up almost anything


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
* Lack of battery handle is a pain
* The metal flange holding the dynamo onto the front fork is soft and too prone to bending
* Chunky frame not to everyone's taste
* Could do with slightly faster assisted speed, the cut-out seems to happen too quickly :-)
* Charger fan a little noisy


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
A good all-round powered city bike. Well-built for the price and sturdy enough.

The gearing and choice of pedal-only, pedal-assist or throttle-only makes it very versatile and will suit whatever mood you're in at the time.

A few niggles aside, it's a great bike, and would suit anyone who rides in the city and wants the ability to take the "day-off" from pedalling every now and again.
