    The bike has no interest for me, but what's the capacity of the battery?

    The NiCd version is 3.5Ah and this one has a slightly greater range, so
    maybe 4Ah?

    It's got quite a bit of interest for me - but as you may have noticed
    there's no mention of the price in the original post - £1249
    Now while this is probably the 'Rolls Royce' of ready built pedelec
    machines that's an aweful lot of wedge!

    Small wheels, no suspension and an amazingly long rear triangle. It's
    going to be horrible to ride. For that sort of money you could buy a
    proper bike a third the weight which would be genuinely comfortable,
    and a lot less work - the electric motor notwithstanding - to ride. Or
    even a recumbent, for even more comfort.

    You don't really expect a spammer to hang around and answer questions do
    you?

    It's Li ion, so about twice what it will be in 12 month's time.

  10. That bike looks like a complete POS. For that money you could get a
    decent Cannondale, Trek or pretty much any decent bike that took your
    fancy, road, mtb or even bent!
