Yes, oldun, this goes back five years to 2003.
It's the E-bike Retro, imported and sold at that time by F2 Motorcycles, summed up on a review as "slow, hard work, wobbly and an unpleasant ride", so perhaps best belonging in the nearest skip I'm afraid.
Very cramped riding position, single 48" gear, far too low to be useful of course.
The motor is a low 150 watt rating only good for 10 mph without pedalling, and with that low gear it would be nearly impossible to pedal much faster anyway. Range when the batteries were new was claimed as 18 miles, so probably much less than that in practice.
The wheels are an oddball 22" size, so there will be virtually no choice of tyres, the original ones being Cheng Shin 22" x 1.75". It was well equipped when new, but with cheap components, plastic brake levers, steel cranks, flaky paint etc. You still have most of the equipment on that one, except it had a front basket as standard at it's original price of £399.
If you want to speak to
F2 Motorcycles about it, (and they don't deny all knowledge of it
), the phone number was 01295 712900, the guy who originally handled it was David Angel,
