I assume it's electric start.

Good seat height / ergonomics for 5'9" ?

Many thanks

Yes, it has got an electric start as well as a kick starter. Regarding the ergonomics, I am 5'10" and I find it very comfortable. I've never found the front mudguard clogging up with mud. What I love about this bike is that it is so quiet, you are not going to upset the Ramblers (thumbs)

Okay thanks - I'll pass on the details to an interested party.

Perfect trail bike for someone shorter in the leg and not a fatty, you could get this anywhere

With respect that bike does not exclude tall people or "fatty" folk
Those are just excuses thrown up by people who just want to buy into the orange brigade
Fact is people on Serows, Beta Alps etc run circles round enduro bikes on proper Welsh trails

You might be right Simon

But it's a sad fact that a third bike might mean that I'll be eating takeaways on a Saturday night on my own, saying that........... (thumbs)

The little Beta has now gone to a loving 'forever ' home. Waved her off last night
