What are your thoughts on these... Only just noticed they exist and if I had the spare cash and a long hilly commute i think id be tempted....is that a banable offence on here?

    It does look pretty niffy! On sale here for an eye watering £3000!

    The issues I have with it are that it's not much quicker than I would be on my £250 hybrid bike since it's restricted to 16mph. Plus at £3000 I'd be terrified of leaving it parked anywhere for fear of theft. Also, I dislike the front suspension as it means it wont take a proper full length mudguard for commuting.

    In short, it's more an expensive novelty than a realistic proposition!

    yeah my thoughts exactly.

    If money was not an issue id get one for messing about on.... Or if it was half the price and i could get it unrestricted :)
