Not particularly interesting other than I'd never seen a Orcal before, guessing some Chinese brand?

20m down was this, I know it's not a bike but been a while since I've seen one. Was in good nick generally for the age. Guessing Portuguese weather is probably kinder than the UK's

Now the snow has melted how is the owner getting that home?

I'd also be interested to know how car it gets before snow clogs the filter!

If that is a grand in the UK (if they even succeed in producing it), I'd be very tempted tbh for a vehicle for getting into town (3 miles away) without needing to use the car. Mainly because it's small enough to bring into the house and charge without cluttering the place up like a full-size bike would.

Trouble with ebikes and scoots is keeping them safe. Popping to the shops would be great, but once Fagins kids spot it, it'll be gone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not sure about the CF side panels and the screen is a bit low, but she looks cool riding it (with no gloves!) and the Union Jack rad guard is a nice touch.
