e-bike turned up today.

On initial impressions, very pleased with it. The motors are restricted to around 15mph in the UK, and on the bike this seems quite a low speed to cut out. But It does mean you can ride at 15-16mph with a token effort on the pedals, which i can see being very handy in the Lakes when hills are a feature.

Given the power of the motor, i could have perhaps managed with a lesser motor and gone for one of the Bianchi road e-bikes... but given the extras such as integral lights, guards, rack, plus being at least £1000 cheaper than the Bianchi bikes, it would look like i made the correct choice.
