New bike day

I took possession of my new Volt London e-Bike. I managed to bag myself an ex demo model at a significant discount, and free delivery.

Volt send the bike to a local bike shop to be build, who identified that the battery was damaged so I got a new battery included.

My Van Moof X3 has been playing up and I can no longer get parts (they wanted £150 to replaced a stripped screw). So I decided it was time for a replacement I have been dithering for a while but the Volt seemed like a worthy successor it looks the part. I do miss the more upright Dutch position of the VanMoof but the Volt rides better and the motor is more powerful.
