You can go faster than a Ferrari in central London on one of these things.

Only until plod run you off the road and confiscate it for being illegal.

I think this was posted up here before and pretty much rubbished as a bad example of form over function, and at 10kg I can't see many women carrying it up steep steps onto a tram.
At the end he says it is fitted with ABS and he can't wait to try it on ice, he's obviously never tried driving a car with ABS on ice then!

Not for everybody! It's expensive but if the price came down and the quality was good, what a fantastic tool for getting to and from the station each end on a commute.

The range might just be enough if you could charge it in the office.

Of course, this is purpose designed for commuters so it cannot be judged by general bicycle standards.
