Which bike is this?

Just out of curiosity ...

White step-through frame, rear hub motor, black battery behind seat tube, red/pink throttle(?) button on r/h of bars, black rear carrier with rat trap, pink plastic "wicker" basket on the front, European-style noseless saddle. Recently bought new on Facebook, apparently.

Indeed. That and a noseless saddle ...

Freego Hawk - commonly seen on Gumtree etc

(no pun intended)

Unless blind the giveaway is the name/branding on the frame , of which both appear. An older out of production bike but a good one all the same, easy to repair and retrofit electrics should ever on needs to.

The seat and basket were added by the owner. Apart from those, it looks pretty standard, either a Wren (24" wheels) or Hawk (26").

Thank you one and all. Didn't notice the name at the time and couldn't make it out in the picture - hence the question. Well, if it's £800 new and VAT accounts for £130-odd of that, not exactly a big money-maker for anybody, is it?

BTW, having once had a go on one of them, I reckon those saddles are well weird ...
