I pick the bike up on Friday, noticed on your video Leigh that they are bringing a new model out, so I expect this will be the 2016 model, will let you know

Hello LeighPing, when you hopped on how did it feel is it worth the money? Any scope for improvements required?
2016 model. 27.5 inch wheels. It felt tall and nippy to me. It stopped quickly and sailed up that hill no problem. Pedaling was fairly effortless and had a nice turbo feel to it, you can see me sailing ahead in the video. Nathan seemed concerned about the mileage the battery lasted for. But he didn't put a figure on it. I don't know what they're quoting for that.

The speedo was in km. I'm not sure if it also shows miles. Its Halfords.. So you can all test drive it before buying.

Is it worth it? I'd say that I'd be happier paying what @oggie paid, than £1100. Although, it seems like a decent, road going, ebike from the short ride that I had on it. 2 year warranty. Not sure if it can be 'tweaked' up a bit either. :confused:

Worth a look and a test ride, in my humble opinion. :)

Thanks for your humble thoughts and I know that I can also trust your judgment.
I've got a few Halfords stores within close proximity to where I live not walking distance but riding distance 3-4 miles and that means no excuses whatsoever. It is definitely a plus having the choice to decide effortlessly between three different sizes. I do not have the brains to re-educate myself or even going back to elementary school to be taught how to convert by calculating Miles to kilometres. Anyway good video mate:)

kph to mph just press and hold the i button until it changes. In store are matching the online price of 990, I was delivering to Halfords today. The manager also mentioned there's a mid drive (crank drive) Boardman coming out but he didn't know when or how much.

It's really funny egroover and a bit of a brain twister, even I was fooled because when you think of 700c sometimes 27.5 comes to mind. so I can see where LeighPing was coming from. But thank you anyway for that important and well valid correction.
Yes, well spotted @egroover . Nathan, the Halfords employee, told me they were 27.5" :oops: .. Like I said, it felt 'tall'. Even for me @ 5' 7". :p
