..but perfect for the faux nouvea-rich 'biker'..

No silly licence to get
No nasty oily bits
Get to wear leather legitimately (?)
Enough rang to get you to Starbuck/The BikeShed/Beard-oilers.. etc... and back..

..naturally i despise it but I wonder how many they will actually sell?

Same money buys you Husqvarna Svartpilen or Vitpilen 701 (although they have now been discontinued)
I know what I'd rather have.

There's a fella I see occasionally down Box Hill has something like this, i.e. a light/cheap electric bike that looks the part but performs more like an eBike.

It. Is. Pitiful Sad

I wonder what's in the tank. I'm presuming that lump on the back hub is the motor. The batteries are in the gray box with that faux exhaust pipe (wrapped style Wink ) so what the f is in the tank?

Mobile phone for calling breakdown when the juice runs out and leaves you stranded?
Sound system playing noises from a real bike?
Turmeric latte maker?
Testosterone supplies?
Or perhaps it is just a sick bucket in case you do happen to look at it?

Is it kind of competing with Honda Grom.
To be fair the price is *a bit* lower than I might have thought even if it does only do 45mph.
So could make a realistic urban commuter for the well healed.

There is a group of feral youths who ride around portsmouth on this things. In and out of traffic, 40+mph through red lights etc.

Ghastly things.

Got it. It's for storing the owner's dildo and a couple of gallons of lube.

I may not be correct here but I thought Ste didn't have a licence because reasons. I suppose if I were in that
situation I might consider a 'sporty' e-bike. It's not inconceivable that the MTen might be responsible for me ending up
with a ban one day, it's far easier to ride north of 100*cough*kilometres*cough* an hour than the Spacker was and I'm
still running it it. In which case I'd flog it and probably buy the most mentalest e-bike I could afford after I'd paid my fine.

This old fart thinks that the only people who would buy or steal that are hipsters, even the crackheads wouldn't be seen dead on that.

Think I posted a while back I saw one of those Maeving things sat on the side of the road on the Minories a while back. Ran out of juice. Guy came back to it a while later with the battery pack.

Still, I don't think it's that bad, TBH. Not as bad as this:

https://additionals.polestar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/makka_sky_webshop_gallery_1800x1800-1-1.jpg

Honda Zoomer rip-off? Only £4700 and another £40 odd if you want the matching hat - who doesn't want the matching hat?


https://additionals.polestar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Polestar_cap_blue-1800px-2-600x515.png

31 miles at 28mph max. It'll really need those Ohlins to make sure it's comfortable enough for the all day experience.

Many practical, such useful, so stylings.
