I've yet to see anyone else out on one away from the built up areas. It appears most of the initial buyers are using them for short journeys i.e. to...

    eZee Torq owners: What range are you getting from your battery?

    I'm currently commuting around 19 miles a day (round trip) on my Torq. At the moment i'm able to charge the battery only once a day although sometimes the red light starts to appear in the last mile or so of my journey so I guess i'm getting around 20 miles on a charge (give or take a bit of...
