Was just watching that with interest.
Then my daughter phoned to query my visit to hers tomorrow, due to more lockdown stuff happening in our area.
And the kids had been counting how many sleeps till I arrived and take them out in the sidecar.
So, I missed the end, but assume it worked ok, or they wouldn't have bothered making the programme?
Regards,
Chris

It wouldn't be the first Bullet converted to electric motor, and with Ed China converting classic cars to electric as well I fear they may be some sort of agenda, here.

If it goes whirrr rather than vroom vroom (or blat blat) I'm really not to keen!

I watched it and the end result looked pretty naff in my opinion, although the owner seemed to be pretty chuffed.

Wouldnt want their angle grinder anywhere near my bike.

I agree, if anyone wants a clockwork bike, then buy one, don't destroy something cool just to 'buy' into the 'scene' the naff decoration wrapped around the battery box was like something off Flash Gordon, as for the owner, well, he thinks an electric bullet seems a good idea! need I say more.
Rant over!
