Cons-weight is 70kg, so no lighter than a petrol version, slower by 10mph than the 70cc, needs access to power point
For- no petrol to carry, silent, no road tax,
Would like to try one, but I suspect an electric push bike, although slower, has more advantages ( no helmet,no insurance required by law, greater range) Dogsbody
