This bike has...spec wise...the torque of a Honda civic...
I can tow 200 lbs of groceries easy.
A second rider ...easy.
It is a good durable ride I have been using now for more tha 3 1/2 years
The line of this cycle has been in production since 2012...It is a collaborative effort.
Japanese Panasonic lithium ion batteries with a lifespan of 10 years... (Currently I have lost zero off the top of the batteries after daily driving for 3 1/2 years...so I am very impressed..) An excellent rebate for turning them in for new batteries when the time comes...
German Bosch motor
Chinese manufacture ..
And Italian design.

The motorcycle model ...which looks almost identical...in build ...but feels much more road hugging compared...
Has the same battery life and distance ...
Same everything ...except speed...
Does 80 km an hour easy.
There is no zero to 60.
It is instantaneous .
Rides like a dream.
I will post current photos of the pair and do some gopro fun with them and post the link...

We have all kinds of electric bikes out here...
All shapes and sizes...
But when it came down to it...
The one in the photo was actually much much cheaper than an upper end electric bicycle for sale out here.

That and the quality and the reviews ...were a no brainer for me.
Also...
Out here like anywhere else...
On the road ...drivers take other drivers seriously.
Drivers do not take pedestrians or cyclists seriously.
This bike "looking" like a motorcycle (and frankly performs better in many regards especially maneuvering ) and this bike "looking" like it would seriously damage someone's car or truck if they hit me...
Is a good respectful ...deterrent .
The simplicity of the build of this bike too...is superior compared to the bits and pieces and parts a typical
electric bicycle has...
Which means far less can go wrong for me ..
Which I like very much.
