A nice day out along the Castlemain Trailway and on to a pub lunch in the New Forest.
The Kudos Sonata has performed faultlessly over the last couple of months, so there is not a lot to say other than I have no reason to think the next 100 miles will be any different. Power is excellent although I spend most of the time in eco mode just enjoying the scenery that takes on a new perspective on two wheels.
The Sonata is a good bike with a powerful motor excellent disc brakes and clear controls. I have changed a few things to make it suit me, these include NXC seat post, Ergon grips and swept back Dutch style handlebars. If I could change anything it would be the gear ratios, it is a 10 by 3 setup and the largest front ring is 42T and smallest on the rear is 11. To change the front ring involves changing both the front and rear mech, so I have been told by the local bike shop.
Good Friday was a trip to the coast, 10 miles, the attached pic was on Bournemouth beach enjoying the sun.
