I'm afraid the Tour de Presteigne is off my list for this year. Avro Vulcan XH558 is displaying at Abingdon Air Show the same day.

No contest!.

saneagle, what weight do you tow and how does it affect the speed and range?
Im going to be towing a pressure washer (total trailer weight loaded around 75kg)

Hi Jay, mine is about 30 kg fully loaded.To be honest 75 kg is alot,and i wouldnt like to tow that weight behind my bike.Hard to say how mine will eat up the battery,as i have only taken it out once just to see how it will tow.The speed is ok as i have travelled along the flat at 20 mph with my trailer on,just to try it,and it does pull me up most hills with power assist,however the battery will drain quicker.I would think that i could do a 15 mile range with pedal assist.I do have 2 batteries which = 18 amp hours.

My Bob Yak has a max capacity of 32Kg / 70 Lbs. and I certainly wouldn't like to be attempting to tow 75 Kg., I am sure my Forza is capable of towing that weight, but handling would be awful and stopping quite dangerous.
The Yak handles so well unladen that I sometimes forget it there, it is a superd piece of kit.

Thats ok E Jay, hope you can lessen the weight some how.
