This bike is in superb condition, having been used only a dozen times. It is fantastic and will take you up steep hills, no problem (and I'm heavy!) I purchased it for £1,200 two and a half years ago. The battery is in great condition and holds its charge and gives plenty of mileage. I'm selling as I have a back injury and can no longer use it.
It's up on ebay at the moment: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272028035500?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

A dutch style electric bicycle offers ease and comfort with its low step through frame, and upright riding position. The rear rack mounted battery keeps the length to that of a standard bike and the central drive system adds to the well balanced traditional feel of this beautiful bike. The Suntour SR front suspension forks and the well sprung Cionlli saddle smooth the way and provide an amazingly comfortable ride, while the power on demand Tonaro system and smooth Shimano Nexus 8 speed hub gears ensure every ride is a pleasure. TONARO electric bikes are designed to be comfortable and long lasting. These are amongst the finest electric bikes available, and compare to electric bikes costing more than twice as much. The TONARO crank drive technology is a patented design and is not offered anywhere else. The entire drive system is housed within the pedal cranking system. This design allows more climbing power with lower battery usage. The crank mount motor enables the bikes gears to be used with the motor. This allows you to down shift for hills and to shift up to higher gears as you gain speed. The pedals freewheel like an ordinary bike. You can pedal when you want or even rotate the pedals backwards even while using the throttle. There are no wires attached to the front or rear wheels as there are with a hub drive, this also allows for easy changing and removal of both the front and rear quick-release wheels. Unlike hub motors there is no resistance or drag from the motor when the power is switched off, so it can be ridden as comfortably as a traditional bicycle when assistance is not required. This can greatly increase the range. There is no loss of traction in wet or slippery conditions or on steeper inclines as there is with front hub drives, and it has an even distribution of weight and is better balanced than rear hub drives, it is virtually silent, and the entire drive system is maintenance free.
