I really like the design. They should add Noise modes to replicate the silencer sounds, as the noise is 50% of the riding experience takeaway. They will have to really work at the sound engineering to make it sound real.

Something between this and a Zero SR in price, range and performance and maybe.

I would be willing to pay half of that for a used one in great condition in the States. I LOVE the vintage styling and would be content to use it to run about on secondary roads. edit - I loved your review, almost nobody covers all the practical and hidden expenses. I'm turned off my subscription charges, and found their service fees and stipulations rather sketchy.

Thanks for your comment. I can’t escape the practicalities of riding a motorcycle. One passerby commented that if I was worried about insurance or running costs associated with a motorcycle, I was missing the point. “It’s about freedom!” I find purchase costs, reliability, licensing, insurance, security, maintenance to be pretty important considerations when owning and enjoying my bikes. Ride safe.

I took one of these for a test ride too, on the same back streets and thought it was great fun. BUT I can't help feeling that I'd have had exactly the same amount of fun on a £2499 Niu UQI, which although built in China and lacking in hip retro looks, features a similar Bosch electric motor. I could then spend £1200 on a high capacity battery and a derestricted ECU from the. Netherlands, and have an electric motor-something with the same performance and a range of 120 miles for little more than half the price of the May-or-may-not-ving. Then again if all I want is eco-friendly London riding where the speed limit is now almost universally 20mph, I'd probably splurge £899 on an e-assist bicycle from Rad Bikes and have just as much fun, with a bit of getting fit from having to turn the pedals occasionally AND I'd be faster through town because I could use all the new cycling infrastructure.

7 grand starting for an electric scooter is pretty optimistic, but at least they have solved the problem facing most electric vehicle owners living in a big city - the ability (or lack thereof) to charge at home due to no driveway or off-street parking. The removable battery should also stop these getting nicked. But I’d rather buy a Honda super cub for £4K instead I think! ETA did anyone notice how the rear mudguard is bouncing around independently of the rear wheel in their promo video (which is still up on their website!)? Not a good look, and would be interested to know if they’ve fixed it in the production models. Otherwise, that’s piss-poor.

I say Mayving, because that’s how I read it. If you need to educate your customers than you have failed in naming yourself.

@@DickWhistles totally agree ... I always thought the Ford Ka has the same problem. It's supposed to be Ka as in Car pronounced with the English dropped "r" and a play on the meaning of Ka as in spirit. But it gets called K.A. as it looks alien to people. Regarding the Maeving, I think you'd get away with "Mayving" as used the gaelic name Maeve or as used in Phaeton ... don't even get me started on Phaeton 🤣🤣🤣

'Thumbs up', although I hate electric bikes. The one thing I like about it is the dummy petrol tank storage. A bit like the NC. Road tax will be only the beginning of the hidden cost of electric vehicles that the government will reveal gradually.

Given that it's the equivalent of a 125cc, VED should be £22/annum which I think is pretty reasonable.
