Bike porn

As they say, don't slag it off until you've tried it (then slag it off).

It is the world's lightest electric bike (Jason Bradbury of the Gadget Show loved it, he's a single speed fan) see pics - http://www.cytronex.com/Photos.html

We produce the Cytronex electric bike system (http://www.cytronex.com) which was launched last year, and as I like single speed bikes we tried fitting a special system to a Genesis Day One - http://www.moderntimesltd.com/product.asp?s=9tpxcn117379&strParents=&CAT_ID=19&P_ID=162 and was so impressed we put it into production and then added the Capo, which at 13.6Kg has a superb power to weight ratio.

Basically it has all the benefits of single speed but gets you up to optimum speed fast and climbs respectable hills at 15mph. See - http://www.moderntimesltd.com/product.asp?s=9tpxcn117379&strParents=&CAT_ID=19&P_ID=161. Basically, nobody will beat you away from the traffic lights and you can ride steep hills at an efficient cadence. You just start pedalling then it takes off, adding 250W to your own power, whatever pace you are doing it pushes a bit harder.

The geek in me respects the engineering that must have gone into this thing, and I praise you for having actually gone out there and produced an electric bike that doesn't look like some kind of special person's happy moped, but... ...you won't find many takers on here.

"Basically, nobody will beat you away from the traffic lights and you can ride steep hills at an efficient cadence"

For most of us, part of the fun of cycling is challenging oneself, pushing on up that hill, or digging in for that sprint off from the lights. Pitching yourself and your bike and body against either your own limits, or those of other riders. This is... well, cheating. In a sort of nasty underhand way, because its trying to look like a "rad" singlespeed. It's obviously not aimed at the mobility sector, but at the city twat who weants to have "the edge" around town, or "do" Ditchling Beacon. Total load of cack - just HTFU. And its very readers wives, and definitely not bike porn. Basically, wot Eyebrows said, but with less swear words.
