Question Avanti Electra - any thoughts??

G'day all,
I haven't ridden for years and I'm not very fit. I am thinking of selling my Motorbike and buying an Avanti Electra to commute to work and back. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Default Avanti Electra - any thoughts??

I bought an electra to trial about 6 months ago as I own a hire business and thought they would make a great hire vehicle. However where I am in North Queensland the important criteria is hill climbing and unfortunately the hub motor has lower torque than I require. I do however regularly use the electra in and around Townsville which is one of the flatest city's in Australia. When used on the flat ground it is a very efficient and quiet electric bike which is certainly one of the most competent currently available in Australia. We are going to sell the one we have soon as we currently have bought or been leant about 9 electric bikes and the electra is one of the few available in Australia that I will be sad to see go. If you want it to help you climb hills then I suggest you try the Aprilia enjoy but if it is for a daily commute on flat ground then the electra is probably a wise choice.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I bought the bike about 4 weeks ago now and, like you, found that it won't give you a free ride up hills, but I notice the increased pedal power needed when its switched off! I am quite happy with the bike, except for a few minor battery charging problems which should be sorted soon.

Don't sell the motorbike. You will regret it. Keep the motorbike and get the bicycle. I know from experience.

Wink warhammer online gold

[font=宋体]Warhammer gold[/font], as the currency in the Warhammer world, plays an important role in the economic system. The experience plays take in game kinda depends on how much Warhammer gold they have. To amateur players, they do not have much time to play the game, not even farming Warhammer online gold. So most of Warhammer players would like to purchase Warhammer gold.
Warhammer online CDkey are the codes which be used to active your Warhammer Accounts. Warhammer online timercard then will be needed after your Warhammer Accounts have been activated. That means you have to use both Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard after you creat an Warhammer account, so that you can access to the Warhammer world.
Buy Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard from us, experience our Instant delivery and Secure transaction.
For further information about the Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard, Please keep an eye on Warhammer online Powerleveling
