Not what I was asking, but fair enough. We'll leave it at that.

He did. Some old thing with a small motor in the front wheel hub.
Which brings to another interesting realisation.
After he was taken off by the Ambos the bike was collected by Main Roads and he went there yesterday to inspect and collect it. It's all very bent and a definite bin job.
But the Main Roads people commented how lucky he is it never caught fire. They've been seeing electric bike accidents, particularly those with big batteries, where the battery gets damaged and ignites badly burning the driver and sometimes setting the car on fire.
He is strongly not reconsidering buying another electric and going for a traditional one now.
