Year: 2018
3KW Electric Moped

I owned this bike for only a short time from October 2019 to November 2019 before I realised that given the British weather (constant rain) and the fact I don't have a dry shelter or garage to charge my bike overnight, this is critical because it needs an overnight charge before I can ride a good distance. This bike is great if you have a garage and live in a congested city but not so good if you have a long commute or live without access to electric plugs outside.
As for public charging points, I would say that 99% of them are intended for cars and the high capacity electric motorbikes; because this moped is recharged via a standard wall plug, your only bet is a garage or plugs within your property.
I replaced the mirrors as the standard ones couldn't rotate as much and there was only 1 mirror instead of the pair, as for weatherproofing; it held up very well and I wasn't too concerned riding it in wet conditions, but I was concerned about charging it when it might possibly rain which in this country is every other day.
Overall, a nice appearance and a unique idea but let down by poor range, charging times, and the problem that they're hard to insure.
