Been commuting with one of those Hope Districts for the last couple of years or so. Absolutely love it, wouldn't consider anything else for my commuting (or any other bike where an external battery wouldn't be a problem). So impressed that I got a matching R4 for the front. It's overkill for day to day, but every once in a while there are dark, foggy mornings riding along a main road I wouldn't be without it.
I have had some bother with splitter cables, chargers and batteries dying on me, but whenever I have, I just print out the returns form from the website, send them off to hope with a note and no questions asked, 2 days later Mr Fed Ex turns up with a box of brand new parts.
Best endorsement I can give is that when I bought it, I thought it was a silly, indulgent overpriced vanity purchase, but now if it died on the way to work this morning, I'd order another without question the minute I got to my desk.
