But only 40 miles from a Beta dealer

If your ever in the Abergavenny area and fancy doing some easyish trails give me a shout

Hate to say it but it sounds like a rather boring crf250l is perfect

To add to this is I stick my bike on emtb and really go for it on the trails I’m looking more like 16miles range

I think you guys must be a bunch of old farts riding tow paths.... I ride regularly with ebike las of all shapes and sizes we have come to the conclusion that it’s not miles but vertical feet that challenges us.

( I didn’t pick the bike up fully charged) It was a spirited journey I have to say to get me down and there was no regener...

There is a good review of the SR/F in the latest Road (MAG news) by someone who was so impressed he bought one. If I had the money I would be tempted, although the 85mpg I get from commuting on the Himalayan means that I have to have the bike for a very long while before it makes any kind of financ...
