Sun Ron sounds Chinky????? How many miles to a charge do they recon. Whatever they do half it. Are you going to put a Akropovic on it????? :shock:

Quiet.
Positively tumble weed.

I think I saw some under my bike at the weekend. It is currently surrounded by the bins and gardening stuff. Don’t know when it will next see the light of day. MOT in February/March. Done feck all this year.
The car has done less than 3k.

Lol Bob.... No Can required on this one.... It's Chinky as they seem to be the only option, It's an Off Road only bike with a 3 hour charge time and 25-60 miles range, It's only 50 KG's and performs like a 125 off roader. Light enough to carry and lift into a van or MH. I want to visit some of the places I used to be able to walk to, places like Exmoor where you can ride Mountain Bikes. even 20 miles from a charge would be more than adequate for my use and It's going to open up a whole new set of adventures. No Insurance, Tax, MOT, fuel, oil or registration required either. Top speed @ 48 mph which is plenty for track riding !!! A simple leisure battery and Inverter can be used to charge it and that's what i have in the MH and Tranny..... The Solar system in the MH makes it fully independent too......... can't attach a pic but It's called Sur Ron, £4195 for the off road version, £4495 for the road version.

I know, it's been a terrible year for riding..... Got the Z booked in today for it's re-flash and Dyno run which will hopefully transform the Throttle response and smooth it all out, Loaded the bike in the Tranny last night, really don't fancy the 40 mile journey this morning.... Salty roads and really cold here.

Few models. as you say very light and manageable. Only time will see how durable they are.

Ha, When I sat on it, I felt like a Giant !!!! ........ It won't be Durable, Nothing with a battery is, especially Chinese rubbish but It should be good fun for a while.

It really does look fun. Plenty fast enough for off road exploring.
