I don't own one but I have had two test rides on the Fast4ward Peak. I recently posted in another thread about this bike so some of what I've written below is copied and pasted from there. On the first test ride I was quite impressed with it, on the second (at a different bike shop) there was some 'play' in the crank which I hadn't noticed at all on the first test ride. It felt a bit odd when setting off from a standing start and it really put me off the bike. Apparently it's something to do with the torque sensor, it's mentioned on the EBR video review above. It was otherwise a really nice bike to ride, very smooth and refined, if somewhat basic in terms of specification e.g. v brakes and only two levels of assist. In terms of power I'd say it was about average and it seemed to handle hills quite well. You could do a lot worse for £1000 but I would reccomend that you arrange a test ride not least because the torque sensor issue might be a deal beaker.
