Sorry, but that is one ugly looking bike!! Apart from the looks, it is low powered and you will need motorcycle helmet and insurance etc to use it on the road. I hate to think how it performs off road. I fail to see any appeal in this sort of bike.

From their website:
The Bultaco Albero 4.5 is homologated for road use within the UK. It will be supplied in the following format:

Speed Ped-elec (moped) which requires the appropriate licence registration, insurance and road tax (currently free on electric vehicles) with a top speed of 45 km p/h.

I owned a Bultaco Brinco for a few months and the performance was ok but it weighed a ton and the battery range wasn`t as stated if you used the power at 20 miles to empty and i`m lightweight.
Sold it because of the illegality and it attracted too much attention.
