Oh pleaaaase!!
Love this VELOTEQ!
It has a few drawbacks but so what!!
I ride it to work. Saved a bundle not having to take the transit. The few times when I don't feeling like taking my mountain bike to work, I get on the VELOTEQ and gp. I get the usual cyclists turning up their noses at me but who gives a shi*?? It's practically a free ride to work!! I zip by all you SUV's stuck in traffic, lined up at the lights, I don't pay any PARKING, GAS, no LICENSE, INSURANCE.
I pay about a buck or two a week on hydro to charge it. No wait! I rent - I don't pay the hydro Ha Ha!
It's practically free! How can you beat that?? If 'they' decide I have to license and register it, I'll do that. I't's STILL just about the cheapest way to get to work and around town.
I find that people have a hard time with change and anything new and anything that can't be catagorized into 'bike' 'scooter' 'moped' whatever. Accept it people and move on.
