That's quite neat to be fair

Hate all the electric stuff but if I had to have something electric, that'd be it. I am guessing the output won't be great though

Tis neat. I was wondering if the batteries were hidden in the front rack. It appears to have a false bottom / compartment.

They've hidden a lot in the frame and forks.

I know it is not one of these but while we are discussing these things...

Would like to know more about the assist it provides, like is the assist constantly on? Does it detect torque or rpm and activate accordingly? Is there a secret button?

So many questions

This may be the nicest electric bike I've ever seen

Appropriate name, named after the shittiest city on the planet, and looks about as disgusting.

Looks awesome but I can't imagine how one could ride or brake with this levers on that handlebars....

The levers are great, but I think the whole position is not working out; looks far too cramped (bloody in-line seat posts) and bars far too high (at least for a bloke). A lower bar and different bar angle seems a better set-up. Perhaps that's just me though.

I've seen those bar end levers on other builds, I think they look nice, but also uncomfortable, but I've never tried them. Would give them a go

Won't be so wonderful once us Jutes have torched it to the ground and turned it into a water reservoir

@Guinessisgoodforyou will probably start laughing, because we went through this earlier

Let's just say Imlach start saving your pennies, to the point you would have to quit drinking and sell all your other stuff.

It's basically a luxury brand, and I get the feeling it's more connected to the high fashion industry than the bike industry as it were.
