Guy I find is great viewing well worth watching him in China,
didn't think much of the pig and human sh*t mix fermenting for the garden veg though but apparently provides good veg.
The e mb was good as it was a folding one as well, now shipped for return to uk.

You don't get 40 mile range and 28 mph, but they're still pretty good. This seller says that you get all the paperwork for registration, so presumably it's type approved for L1EB

Must be true, the man on the telly said so............?
From the page:
"top speed 45kmh
travel distance on a charge 35km"
= 21 mile range
"Under frame storage bag" = place to put heaps of lipo to extend range, simples!
"these also have a carrier for your I phone so as you can play music through the speakers loacated either side of the bike"
Oh joy! At last I can drown out all that horrible bird song as I cruise through the woods...

The title is "Our Guy in China" and it's in 3 episodes, last one broadcast yesterday at 9pm on Channel 4.
All three episodes should be available on the 4OD player.

His next project is cycling around England, Scotland & Wales (4,800 miles) in 21 days before Crimbo

Guy has the will and refuses to give in so he will give it a good go.
In the last ' Of our Guy in China ' he set a new world record by ridng the 300 mile desert road route on a clapped out fixie, he knocked something like 19hrs off the 46hr or so previous record.
With the elevation changes his 150 miles a day on the last venture was equivalent to 250 miles on the flat (and on a single speeder..).
The man is very fit (ooer!), and has tons of willpower.
Thanks a million mate. It is absolutely brilliant viewing. Great find!!
Guy is great to watch anyway, but when you combine it with his travels across China it's TV Gold.
Anyone got any other recommendations along this line of viewing??
