Thanks for answering my question.
I don't know anything about electric bikes and their speeds etc, but why is it a good thing that you've produced and use something illegal?
pardon my ignorance but I must wonder what a mamil might be? And Emma, I am so impressed by your skills in making, fixing and altering bikes, especially after reading how you build tadpoles.
Hi Folks
Ken has been using the e-shopper now for a year as his daily commute to work bike
This year it has done just under 3000 MILES but it has eaten 1 pair of folding pedals ( replaced with MTB pedals ) 2 Throttles , one pair of tyres ( they were second hand ) and the rack cracked with the weight of the batery and the rack mount part of the frame cracked and I rewelded it .
so .
at fuel at 25 mpg ( vintage volvo ) , Not only has it paid for itself it has kept Ken going in windy weather on his 5mile each way commute along the exposed cycle path beside the English channel, the additional weight helping stabilize the bike .
So general consensus is a success - remember this was a 30 odd year old shopper that was reborn and it still eats a few unsuspecting mamils on the way.
....................................... happy Chrimbo one each

Mamil stands for "middle aged man in lycra"
