How does it handle?

What will it cruise at?

Mpg?

Always fancied a fun thing llike this, the above ?s could help me justify one to "commute" to work on! Reckon in 15 weeks it may have paid for itself over using the car!

Hi Tim

well after youve scraped the plastic tyre and put some decent rubber on there it handles pretty well and is a ****ing giggle to ride.
They recon you could see 60mph but i think it will take along time to get there. But its well comfy at 45-50. As for the MPG im not to sure about that yet. I just ride the thing.

Thankyou Si

Hey, always happy to oblige. Oh and there is a space between Thank and you.

Seriously though, nice town commuter. Should pee off a few cage drivers.

Can't see me getting one for my 22 mile cross country route to work though.
