Momentum Electric’s VIT-S is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter and you can reserve one for £2,900 (or £2,200 for the slightly lower spec Lite version). At full £4,000 retail price it’s an expensive beast but there’s no doubt about the capability of the motor or the components used in the build. At Kickstarter prices it’s a … Read more

There’s plenty of sensible city e-bikes out there.
