Could you stand in front of the camera until they get the hint?

Is it road legal? The weights and dimensions are missing from the website and I can't see how it gets within the weight limit.

If that's under 40Kg then so am I.

Love to support my local independent retailer, if only I could get past the pedelec hating BMX urchins that gob off out the front.

I have the iZip so can add a little. As Flecc has said it is a hugely heavy bike, but you may not realise how noisy the motor is either, it sounds like a milk float. That said I have been very satisfied with mine, although my riding style is to add some reasonable effort of my own in. It...

Mackerel up the exhaust pipe...

I also have a choice of mile+ long hills to ride up to get to work, which I believe may be significantly steeper than yours, but I may be wrong. On top of this I weigh a good 5 stone more than you. My bike was slightly cheaper than the one you are looking at and it gets me up the hill every...

I've had thoughts of adding a second currie motor to my old Izip to cope with the additional amps, converting the behind the saddle battery to a 24V ping, adding a second rack mounted 24V ping, which are wired together to give 48V and uprating the controller to suit. Just to see what would happen.

Can you make helmets out of MDMA or is that MDF?

That was the impression I got.

Recently had a whole load of abuse from a couple of BMX urchins outside a bike shop. They though I was lazy and may have well just bought a motorbike. Not sure how burning petrol might help, or how just coming back from a 17mile ride on a lead acid battery and still having all my battery lights...

Saw another pedelec out and about yesterday, gent on a Powacycle Salisbury in High Wycombe. Shame I was in a pub so couldn't wave a cheery halloo!

Your head, your choice. Simple innit. I wear one when in heavy traffic and on heavy trails but don't bother for gentle cycle route rides.

I use a Buff. Just noticed they do a reflective range too.

Aye, Wycombe is a hilly town. There are two ways out on the flat, North to Princes Risborough or South to Bourne End; other than that it's a bit of a killer. I've often thought it might be an ideal location for a pedelec rally a lá Tour de Presteigne, but close enough to London to be interesting.
