Possibly the most hideous electric bike...ever!

This has been floating about on eBay for weeks:

electric bicycle

Their eye-catching title, not mine lol.
Reading the spec, wonder why this little gem hasn't been sold yet

I actually think it looks good, much nicer than any DIY bike.

 

[Fordulike]

If it was a nicer colour, then I think it wouldn't be so bad. Turdy yellow doesn't do it justice.
If the only selling point is a comfortable saddle, then it doesn't look too good for the seller lol.

"...the amps are 10w", like "Whos shoes are these boots!"

In fairness, many used bikes are sold by non native English speakers, presumably students or migrant workers returning home.

I have purchased the odd part from similar adds without problems.

It looks a lot like a Thompson, only orange. There are a lot of Thompsons round here which seem to carry on for ever. If the seller could re-spray it, it might sell.

Tomos ?

Stick KTM stickers on it

I actually had a tomos in the 70s I remember buying it out of my mother-in-laws catalogue ! I used it for 3years then sold it on ,have to say it gave me sterling service

Woolies used to sell the Tomos too. My girl had a Batavus - and now my girl's my wife - BOING - an' a lovely thing she is too!!!

I actually saw one of these in my village last week.

Is that a crank drive? there is a small motor shaped object near the crank.

The Thompson has a rear hub motor, at times 180 watt, at others 200 watt.

I was referring to the OP bike.

Understood Geebee. Yes it is crank drive, looks like the Tonaro and original Yamaha motors.

I've had a go on one of these works fine does the job, ok unless your a badge snob, mike.

No disrespect to Kudos intended in any way, but I think The Duke is worthy of mention in such a forum discussion:

 

[Geebee]

I quite like the Duke, it looks functional and old
My vote for one of the worst looking bikes is the Grace 1, it looks like a cartoon bike but others like the style.

OMG, is this guy gonna just keep plonking this on eBay in the hope that someone will go ''wow, I have just got to buy this awesome bike''?

Please, someone contact him and tell him to drop the price or paint it, or it'll never go.
I would do it myself, but I can't bare to look at it again
