Yes it arrived this afternoon as scheduled, once i nearly completed assembling it, i tried to look for pedals but alas, no pedals!! I could've sworn that e-bikes still uses pedals in this day and age, lol.... i just assumed that it was forgotten at the factory, so swiftly gave Hatti a quick call to describe the misplacement, a pair of pedals will be sent to me by first class. So i've not had the chance to ride it yet, and also it's been raining all day today in Brum.

For those of you who's interested in this bike, it looks alot better in person than it does in the pictures, i don't think Hatti has done the bike justice. It's actually very sexy, a lovely metallic black paintwork with dashes of chrome here and there, i think with a good lighting set-up and a decent DSLR the pictures can come out much more appealing just like the Burisch Synergy photos.

I am 5'9" and i think this frame is the perfect size for someone of around that height, whilst standing over the bike, my groin has maybe an inch clearance over the top bar. I think the first thing i will change will be the saddle, maybe with this gorgeous thing here: UltimoBikes :: Saddles :: Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow in red of course!

At last, a cure for haemorrhoids!

Well - At least it'll shove 'em back where they belong - temporarily, at least.

TCN,

Hope you have received your pedals by now. I must say they would probably make cycling a bit easier...!
Hope the weather improves soon - its pretty miserable here right now!

I've received them this morning, super fast delivery, i'm impressed. It was very tough to get the pedals on and yep i'm aware that there is a left and right pedal with opposing threads, as i had no grease on hand, it was a lot harder than what should've been a simple task.

No grease?

Anything will do, vaseiine, ear wax (yuk) cooking oil, any other oil you have to hand, or don't bother - many people don't.

A drop or smear of something on the thread is worth doing if you plan to remove the pedals, but otherwise it doesn't matter.

Cheers Hoppy, think I may have been hasty in dismissing this option. I will look into their range....
