Electron Wheel - Copenhagen - Geo Orbital etc

[Sandy]

Hi all, I'm looking into getting an electric wheel (to ensure I can return my bike to a regular cycle easily enough, without too much added weight)... there seem to be a few different offerings in the US, but none that ship to the UK. Am I right?

Shipping via air is a nightmare because of the battery size, and then there's import taxes too.

Has anyone had any inspiration? Thank you!!

I've sent you a message, I may have a new Geo Orbital going spare (only arrived last week so some of the first in the country I would imagine)

And you're right about duty and the batteries causing shipping issues but got there in the end.

I just happened to do a search on here to see whether there were many in the country yet and what feedback had been given and I found this thread. Not sure I'm selling yet (I bought one for me, one for wife and she may not want it)...
