    police bikes?

    is their any reason why they all favour the sport model ? can you also divulge what changes you have made as result of feedback from the police. i think its a great way to test your bikes and if they can withstand the rigours of a full shift on a daily basis then thats a credit to you. thanks

    police bikes?

    just read an article about police officers using electric bikes from juicy and went on to purchase their own bikes as a result. does anyone know which juicy model these were? i don,t suppose you can get a much better idea of day in day out use than that.
