As a commuter (no, really)

Ride hard

I know you said "no really", but really?

I wonder if it requires the owner to possess lycra and shaved legs, leather and a long ZZ Top stylee beard or perhaps both.

That bidon is "bling"

Edited to say, I just read the description and realised that the "engine" is a motor/ battery pack. Who on earth would ride that?

There's some absolute tool that rides something very similar along embankment most mornings. Takes an age to get upto speed but then seems to roll at about 30mph. No idea if it's legal becuase it's essentially moped speed but with no licence disc/mot etc. He looks a total bell-end on it though.
