Right now I am going to bed...
but tonight I will respond in this post to some of what sulu asked and referred to.

February on a winter off road tour..
Since last February I replaced the front and back tires with big knobbies ...had to remove the fenders ...drill a new axle hole in the frame to move rhe wheel back and add a section of chain...the knobbies were that big... Adds almost 6 inches to my height...and fabulous grip on any terrain now...
I will post a pic here in this post the next days off I have of the modifications.
This is my bike ...
32km average up to 48...
It has speed adjustment if less is desired.
ABS disk braking ...once the front brake is engaged .5 seconds later the rear brake auto engages to prevent the rear from going out of control .
I get between 160 to 200 km on a charge from the 2 batteries ...and it costs .25 cents to charge the pair ...from a standard outlet...at about 3 hours to charge each battery fully ...
It is not necessary to license.
And it it a considered walk on. ..free ...on the ferry.
So it is my perfect work commuter.
