What an amazing piece of Kit!

OK if I had a Sherpa to carry the bike up for me, otherwise I wouldn't welcome the extra weight when climbing or walking uphill for long stretches.

With no seat or pedals, should this be classed as a scooter?

Doesn't give a weight, but assuming around 10Kg plus a 7Kg Daahub kit and as Flecc says you've got a chunk of weight to carry uphill, no thanks!

Good point, the lack of pedals would classify it as a motor vehicle.

Now if it had a saddle
Weight is quoted at 9.8 Kg and retails for £1449 in the UK, so not exactly cheap.
