oh d8veh, not being as technical as you I feel I might not be able to 'articulate' the 'awesomeness' I feel but here goes.

First off, it is solidly built, Volkswagen 'ish, if that helps. Okay, at 27kg it is not the lightest but it is well balanced with the nuvinci 360 hub gear at the rear, battery at the back of the seat post and front motor.

The Nuvinci is brilliant. So intuitive to use and tweak to match the road conditions, inclines etc.
The motor is smooth and powerful and quiet. It seems to keep helping passed the point it should normally tail off. Easily maintaining 22mph on the flat and with the nuvinci, very comfortable cadence with more to offer. With a 12ah battery I did 38 miles on mainly high assist (level 5) before needing to charge. That's with varied terrain, some steepish hills, long inclines and frequent undulations.

The tektro disk brakes are very good and confidence giving, and the little touches like rear brake light and 'auto-on' lights when daylight diminishes are a bonus.

The lcd monitor gives you the usual, trip, speed, distance, total distance and also Voltage and current.

I just love riding it, if anyone else wants to try it and is not too far from me than just message me, I would love you to try it.
