I just listen to podcasts and chill.

 

 

 

Can you hear traffic at the same time?

 

 

 

The issue of modding is painfully debated here and could result in criminal prosecution or a civil lawsuit from your victim after an accident. Over 15mph in the cold air hurts the face more. Rain starts to sting too. Personally I don't think it is worth the risk or aggro.

 

 

 

I came to the same conclusion. If you think that discussion about modding is lively, ask pedelecers if helmets should be mandatory.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase this bike. I was wondering if the 2021 model will be worth it as I don't have a massive budget and need to be sure this bike will be ok.

It's still all the standard stuff, so nothing to raise any concerns. The only negative point I can see is the gearing. A 14 tooth top gear is too low for an electric bike. It'll be annoying after a while, but £20 to £25 gets you a DNP freewheel, with 11T, which will fix it if it bothers you. The 8.8 Ah battery is a bit small by modern standards, but replacements and upgrades are readily available when you can afford it.

Thankyou for your reply, I will certainly look to upgrade in the future.

I will look into the DNP freewheel change for sure. With a replacement battery it will be difficult as it's semi integrated. What would you recommend?

It's a standard battery that they put in many bikes. You can get them from lots of suppliers.

Do you have any recommendations? I am extremely new to all this.

They're called Dorado batteries. Use Google.
