Funnily enough I've been recomended this bike. From what I've read here and getting info from other people I've been put off the bike tbh. I think with the lack of being able to go over 45. A 3 hour charge time and the price actually being 5k notb4.5k as I originally thought, I'm thinking something like the 125 or 250 is more ideal. Thanks guys

Yeah this was one of my main concerns. My father in law said as a biker you need to be able to command the road, and in what is essentially a scooter I'd get pissed off drivers on a 60mph section. My main use for this is nipping around town, going to the gym and the odd 20mile drive to a mate where there is a very short 60 road with loads of roads I can pull into if I'm under pressure.

Thanks boys, I'll put that down as mostly positive then haha. Thanks for the advice that was A LOT nicer than expected...

This has been the feedback I've got from my father in law and his bike buddies. I understand the pov that there is risk involved but this is a British company of engineers that's maybe worthy of support, and in the end the risk is very cheap right? You guys know what you're talking about more than this little scrub, so I take that on board, I just kinda like the idea of a bike I can learn on that's got as few moving parts as humanly possible. The batteries are 1k to replace, I'm unsure on company sustainability. Entering into a recession...

Thanks guys huge help. I've been riding bicycles for 20 odd years in London (Not a light hopper) and im super sensible on the roads driving. My wife however is totally petrified of me riding, so my thoughts are if I'm on a bike that only goes 45, I'm not doing mega distances and I'm in good gear that should chill her out a bit, I'm not whipped but I dont want her to mess her pants every time I leave. Am I right in saying I need to do the A1 and A2 to get rid of the L plate? You're right on the bike, it's made in Coventry, there was another that looked OK called the super soco TC MAX but it's made in China, so I'm certainly not interested.

Heya lads total n00b to Bikes, I've got my full license booked and I'm really interested in getting the Maeving RM1 found here - https://maeving.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw0dKXBhBPEiwA2bmObY2avm2UyaKenjDCLCRyw1ho6QqhAACMftajf1PaN78lILqpzo6FXBoCUG4QAvD_BwE I know electric bikes aren't exactly liked by bikers, for what ever reasons but this is not only super cheap but I think a great bike to cut my teeth on. One of my questions is what sort of safety gear do you think is reasonable for a bike like this? Another is, are electric bikes REALLY that bad? Thanks fellas.
