Where you getting it from mate? I’m Looking to get one too! You getting a road legal one? They have less power than the off road version is that just a map though? Not motors etc
I have been wondering how this would do as a commuter. I’m just not sure if it has the same road presence as a 125cc? Would I look silly wearing a motorcycle helmet on this?
Ron, It's John here. I am no spring chicken either mate. I am considering one of these bike's (my brother too) Did you have to get it approved by DVLA then tax and insure it? If so what was the process and relevant costs? I hope you can shed some light on this for us. Speak soon cocker -0)
More hassle than it’s worth you have to apply to dvla for a logbook then get a serial number then book the bike in at a garage so they can restrict it to 30mph and wire all the lights and indicators up process took my mate 6months and u can’t go over 30mph on the uk road on one so it’s pointless get a 125 you will save yourself a lot of money and hassle or get a Surron and ride it off road at 50mph 😆💪🏻
whats the top speed on it and do you think worth it to use as a commuter a low cost EV, also what did it cost to make it road legal in UK. If you don't mind saying. good video also
Daily max 49mph, figure on an average speed of 45mph on the flat, but that's going to rinse the battery. Just buy the road legal version which is £500 more.
@@viralking4173 in the UK a provisional or car licence on L plates after you have done CBT. Or a full bike licence. Insurance isn't cheap due to it being an off road bike, without any no claims figure around £250.
@@viralking4173 Road version is restricted to 28mph, easily removed, so that it can be classified as a "moped", so can be driven on a Car licence depending on when you took your test.
I'm half thinking of getting one, would want to ride mostly off road but need to ride on roads to get to those off road tracks. Question is, should I get a road legal version or not? Obviously both would be illegal on cycle routes anyway so it's more a question of one is ok on the roads where I'm more likely to get pulled but then it's also more traceable when riding the trails.
If you ride on the road it needs to be road legal otherwise you will get points on your driving licence and bump up any insurance costs. I've found that providing your courteous to others on cycle route or off road paths and don't ride like a dick near them you won't have a problem.
Is it true that if you get an off road and put a pedal kit on it you get away with being on the road with no number plate needed also grass in general as it get treated as an e bike
@@TheWestysworld it would still be illegal because it's over 250w and 15mph. But pedaling will make it seem more like a push bike so attract less attention.
