Price is steep but depends if you factor in fuel over say 3-4 years of ownership. I wonder how the price would work out then. I'm sure one of the clever bods on here could work it out.

The miles/range would be the downfall still though. I could commute on it, but I couldn't say go see GP or Tricky and do a ride, because I'm then not going home for 7 hours.

Petrol near me at the moment is 114ppl.

If you say the average bikes does 50mpg?

Then it would cost you about a grand to do 10k a year.

so over 4 years, £4000. Lets call it £500 for the electric one.... £3500 takes it down into the £8000 bracket. Which is reasonable for a new bike.

The council spec one is a bit cheaper.

But then only hardened commuters do 10k a year. I probably do nearer 3-4k on the bike if I don't do a tour.

It's an abomination, that's what it is.

I think it's alright, I think you'd have to develop a whole persona to go with it if you were to be seen on it in public though.

The suspension covers would get smashed if the bike ever got ridden.
