A2B Metro

[overlander]

Hi mark, can it only be done by yourselves or can it be reversed at home?

Thanks for the reply Mark!

I'm in Canada so are they expected in North America during a similar time frame? I assume also they'll have a 32km limit for North American markets?

Thanks again,
Dennis

wow expensive keep it at £2000

Hi Scott

We have a few models in at the moment (only 8) with a color choice of White or Black. I'd have to work out the RRP though if you were interested.

Main stocks will arrive around March time

all the best

£2300 is too much. The old bike is expensive at £2000. Please dont kill it off at £2300!! The replacement battery is £500. Where other bike batteries are half the price with double the range! It will be pushing £3000 with the extra battery giving a range of 40 miles. Please have a rethink

Aussie bike upgrade

Hi all,

I'm in Sydney for a year with work. I have just bought an Australian A2B Metro (Gen 1, LED power meter, Aussie 200w limit). It is absolutely fabulous and has saved my legs from a very tedious walk!

Just a couple of questions - I am due back in the UK in Feb 2012. I am going to have my bike shipped back.

1) Can my A2B be de-restricted to British spec? Can I get a "boost" button which is absent from the Aussie spec'd bike?
2) Could my bike be upgraded to gen 2 spec (digital motor + controller etc)? How much would this cost?

BW,

Neil

Hi Suffixated,

The new Metro changes will be as follows:
- LCD display
- Digital controller
- Built in lights powered off the battery
- 15.5mph top speed, but de-restrictable for offroad use.
- Weight and frame remains the same
- RRP £2399

Availability is late May.

I'd also urge you to checkout the new Hybrid 24, its an amazing bit of kit and has converted me from my Metro!!

Hi, my cycle dealer has said they can get me a new Generation 2 Metro but that although it has the speedo fitted, the key is still located down by the pedals, I see the generation 2 was launched in 2011 with the key on the handlebars, is it possible that this is one that was made early in the transition so that it got some of the upgrades but not all? Concerned that it may have the analogue motor rather than the digital one if it was made a while ago.
