The guy didn't know how to set his P1 parameter!

It was interesting to see that little Hitway BK2 MiRider clone in the back of the van. Did the owner hack it, or had he accidentally set the wrong wheel size so that the speed display was faster than what the bike went?
Maybe the label had peeled off.

In post #516 of this thread, there is a video where the police seize a Hitway BK15 because it had no label.

It makes me think Hitway are not very good at sticking labels to their bikes.

Dude throttled along the platform standing on one pedal. Throttled up a ramp at his station. Does that case contain one of those dangerous UPP batteries gov boffins warned about? Do wish this bike had been seized when he asked the ticket office for directions to my train. The other bike boarding, was a harmless looking Mirider.

I see illegal bikes everywhere.

^That last one's a Whyte and would have been a decent trail bike in its time, but designed to be pedalled, and you couldn't pedal it with the seat so low.

Edit, and just back from a 15 mile pedal on my Whyte did spy two young uns both on illegal bikes on a bridleway, putting the illegality to one side, neither had any form of helmet on, which is just plain stupid.
