    How on earth does he get away with this?

    £10,000! Why doesn't the electric bike rider just get a way cooler Honda C90 for cruisin'.

    HI ALL RICHARD FROM ESSEX HERE! charger needed!

    Best ask the 'someone' you got the bike off - as it's pretty much useless as you've discovered without a charger it seems odd that they didn't include it in the first place. Also ask for any paperwork that came with the bike as could be handy if you need any warranty work done. If 'someone'...

    Looking for a good hill climber..?

    KTM eRace P is a mule up hills but you seem to want not to have to pedal - which'll be tricky as it doesn't have a throttle.

    I've a KTM eRace 29 Panasonic '14 and can confirm its goat like hill climbing capability. Absolute delight to change up the gears going uphill and maintain 13-15mph without a sweat - the latest models also have 500Wh battery. Get a test ride - I had a go on various models at Redhill's very 3...
