Thanks - I can use my wife's ebike if I need to and it is in many ways the best of both worlds being able to use bike infrastructure, the heath, parks etc but i always get a bit frustrated by how hard it is to go any decent speed over the 15.5mph cut off.
My wife had an SH300 for a bit - I thought it was ok but not a patch on an actual geared bike. I think a Duke 200 might be the answer - shame they don't import the new one into the UK.

Sorry to hear this has happened. Just received warnings from our local police that they've been seeing a big increase of m/bike theft in our area (SW London).
I've abandoned having a nice bike since the last one was stolen, my street rat still has 2 locks a camera and cover on it though.
My solution was a Brompton Electric, not regretting it so far. I still have a motorbike if I need it and I'm not commuting daily so that all makes a difference.
Will be interested to know what you decide to do. My insurance were pretty generous when mine was stolen but they did increase premiums for a while. The best scooter I've had in London is the SH300.
