In a word, no.

Why do electric bikes have to have these oddball looks.
Invent me an electric bike that looks like mine and I'll think about it.

Probably not for long though!

No. As Itchy says they look dreadful, and tbh after trying to sort the electrics on a Spanish bike in the past, I'm not anxious for another round of problems or paying for the privilege of having them.

It's the refuelling for me. I don't mind the limited range if there are plently of places to fill up, but who wants to want an hour for a full battery?

+1 on the twin shock


I'd have an electric bike. Why not. Once they get the battery charging thing Sussed ( which they will...... Probably smaller removable batteries that you can swap for charged ones )

I love engines. But I also love machines. So I'd not rule one out

I'd have one if they could sort the range out. Never enough for me. Price is also an issue though.
