Most interesting thing I noticed about this video was how many dead Lime bikes I saw just lying in the gutter in various shots all over London.
E-bikes seem to have lost their ingenuity. The folding bikes all looked the same with different stickers stuck on. Cheap looking components, wires going everywhere, heavy, and the screens are the same (even the buttons). Great video though.
Any chance of you reviewing some trikes? There is a dearth of information and in-depth reviews for trikes in the UK. 🙂
Love ladywell park get a good workout riding up those hills !
Really feel like the Fiido Nomad needs to have a way to link the three batteries together, love the cage design (that still gives you panier space) but in need to have a wire to connect each battery and a small GPU to manage how to draw energy.
Time stamps please!
BEST being some acronym for best payback to EH?
