actually thats 30K UK sterling ... probably closer to 55K AUUncle Just wrote:I don't find it particularly unsightly and yes the seat is out of place but the price is damn ugly. 30K! Seriously? 10% of that would be still OTT.

There's a review here:bychosis wrote:And they appear not to have grasped how a saddle or bars are positioned. All that money and it's still got three chains externally mounted. I wonder how far the 2200w motor will push you?

Based on the quoted battery size you might be able to get 50 to 60kms out of a charge.
