Had this bike about six months, very pleased with it good range on battery. I normally cycle in eco mode which works well for me. The only gripe that I have with this bike is that the brakes are very poor, several times i have failed to stop despite having the levers pulled right to the handlebar. had the brakes adjusted but still the same, I may need to change blocks.
great bike, i had to but the giant panniers to go with bike, another £50, but these work well and cover the battery, not so much of a target for a thief. The new computer with the bike is quiet difficult to set up, but works well, I prefered the old one with just the three settings on it, then add a cycle computer.
