I’d accidentally ridden into a Critical Mass Cycle protest ride in London around 2010. Ended up setting one up in Bath, that ran for a bit and started attending the local cycle campaigning group. A respect ride held in honour of a young man

No idea why they are single speed. Have these people not heard of hills ;) A local company uses eBullit, but can only get about 4 hours out of the 500w battery due to hills. I could see an advantage in offering a 1000w light-moped version h

It isn't so much latent demand as the cost/benefit of travelling in by car is better than alternative methods. The problem primarily is around the exclusion of other modes of travel from the system. Roads need to be built with spa
