I have a cheap china bike at the moment restricted to 15.8 mph but I find this very anoying .
I plan on getting a decent electric bike to replace my current one and the kudos city looks ideal for me.
I swore after the first three months of comuting on my exsisting bike that I would not bother with anything that could not be made to go a bit faster .
Also I want to get rid of the throttle and just have a button, don't see the need to have an uncomfortable throttle that means you can't keep your fingers on the brake and it's not as if ebikes have any serious wheelie potential a button would be much more sensible.
The pro conect has been my favorite if I could afford one but it has horendious battery costs just like most of the e bikes out there .
I have looked at the alien arour and the xipi bikes but they have just put the price up and top be honest I like the look of an enclosed chain and hub gears as well as reasonable battery cost from kudos, also the spares support looks second to non .
The only question mark in my mind is could it be fitted with a switch for more speed when late for work for example, I am a reasonably fit rider and can actually get to work faster on my normal bike at the moment but my job is very phisical so I need the option to be lazy on the way home.
I have seen that whispa's can have a deristrict button fitted ,not interested in whispa's though I can't work out why they are so expensive anyone can see that a rear rack some mud guards and suspension forks don't cost £300 .
