and its still hard work keeping it at any decent speeds, no free ride on a pedal assist bike.
Old mate up the road has a latest electric pushbike and got it enhanced for max power and blew it up, got warranty on it tho, by fooling them. now he just has a stock one. he wanted me to buy one and I said never, push bikes are way to dangerous.

I will stick to my Enduro bikes thanks and road bikes on the road. never would I ride a scooter as well they are death traps because such do not have the power of handling to avoid many situations. If one is a novice rider anything becomes dangerous and in their ignorance they buy rubbish like scooters.

When I here people make claims about speed and to much power the fact is they are a novice talking from the point of the average clown who knows no better.
