Six month warranty on the battery is worrying and unless you live in central Scotland then the RTB warranty on the rest is a PITA, it will be worth checking if you can just post the faulty component back instead of the whole bike.
Why six months on the battery, other companies are offering two years.

Their folder does not look too bad either. Its 36v which is quite rare for these little folders.

I think I'm right in saying that the two year warranty is confined to the higher priced latest Li-polymer types with compound cathodes like the Panasonic and Wisper batteries.

The life of the older type non-polymer Li-ions like that which this Synergie uses is felt to be shorter and history shows them commonly failing within two years. I've just limped an expensive latest type non-polymer battery to two years on January 14th, but it's only just and I wasn't a daily user. An every day commuter with hilly runs might only have got 18 months at most, making a two year warranty impossible to give.
