I see that 50 Cycles have become a Fantic dealer.

They look nice, but I don't know anything about the brand or the Brose motor. Any opinions?

I think the last Fantic I saw was when I was an apprentice. A colleague had a 50cc Fantic GT with a peashooter exhaust. It had a silencer can resembling two funnels welded back to back.

Strange name for an Ebike, but I suppose that when you are selling to an international market, certain names won't mean anything in some countries.

It's like the Kalkhoff Agattu, the word Agattu means commode in Russian. They won't be selling many Kalkhoff Commodes in the east. Marketing men and women need to be very careful when naming their prodicts.

The Fantic Expansion Chamber, I'll look out for that one.

Commode can also mean convenient and practical in French or maybe they were thinking of the island?
