A little update for my supporters 
Well I have been the proud owner of a unique limited edition (as they are now no longer produced) Mercedes Smart eBike for almost a year, the bike has performed faultlessly, it has been upgraded with new suspension front forks made for Smart by brand leader, these have proved fantastic for my use and I would now not be without them.
I also bought a spare battery for it for use in St Tropez where I spend my summers, this enables me to have morning cycles, return for a lazy lunch then out again on a new battery, on a couple of occasions I took the spare in a rucksack and changed en route allowing a full day out.
Here is a photo of it up in the hills of Gassan overlooking the bay of St Tropez, that was a hell of a ride and in truth I did have to walk about 300mtrs of the climb. Anyway I am back to the awful UK weather for the winter but hope to get out and about this week, I will miss the fantastic Cote D'azure cycle paths as I try to stay alive on Londons treacherous roads, but not long until I'm back out there on my superb designer machine
I am sorry for any of you who missed out on these bikes, they are designer and in order to retain their exclusivity I can understand why the have stopped producing them, but I am sure there a still bikes out there that are nearly as good although won't have the unique looks or feel to them.
