That's better. This is exactly the kind of exposure EV's need. Yes I know there will a few timely recharging breaks but it shows that it is possible to use and EV for all routes as long as you plan in stops.

My charging point gets installed on Wednesday - can't wait smile

Did you go to Dunsfold in the end? I had a go on the Brammo Empulse. Brilliant fun! I was already an electric bike convert, but the progress they've made in the last few years is brilliant. It was a really fun bike, not just a fun electric bike.

Fantastic. Would you mind giving us a mini review saying what was it like to ride, how it felt regarding weight distribution - was it top heavy, can you notice it feeling specifically like an electric bike and what was the power delivery like? I should imagine it was pretty linear!

I don't suppose Craig Bramscher was there? That man is another Richard Branson and another one of my personal heroes smile

Ah, ok, I didn't put two and two together! I spoke to her quite a bit about PodPoint.

Flathead - Craig wasn't there, Darvill racing and GoinGreen were representing UK distribution. I'll do a little write tonight on the bike.

Please include the costs if you know them. I've ridden an electric scooter for the last four years, brilliant computer tool.
