Thats really the main reason velomobile and recumbent bikes haven't taken off in the UK, it looks kind of silly pushing one up a hill.... great in the square mile but no real practical application apart from the Broads...

Just 4 big armchairs, with either 16" wheels and a 250W, or with hydraulic legs.... like the walking table.... et viola

Can anyone comment on E3's product. Their battery is a 36V10Ah Li-Ion, with a claimed 2,000 charge cycle, therefore making it a pherosphosphate battery (the one's which go boom). Unsuitable for a road application in the UK unlike say a LiMn2O4 I think, but that's my personal opinion. Would less connections make any difference, and would a 1.5" tyre make that much difference against say a mid range schwalbe touring tyre? E3 seem to be promising the world but still look cheapy chinesey...
