    How many CCs is this?

    Found THIS on Tardme.

    Seems the seller is a bit unsure on the CC rating though.

    Can anyone enlighten him?

    There is no cc rating and there doesn't need to be. The motor info is Motor power - brushless 500w, made by Japan-China joint venture ie 0.5 kw or around 3/4 HP. If you really want to know what an equivilent cc rating would be a petrol engine then try around 10cc.
    Time to ride

    Where do you even start with an ad like that?

    The seller sounds like he wouldnt even know his arse hole from his elbow.

    Quite correct. Hence the suggestion someone enlighten the seller, as he doesn't seem too sure... bwahaha...

    I think Tardme forces you to put a cc figure, which is what is confusing him, because as you say, there isn't really one, but he must put something.

    Correct me if I'm wrong - but the whitewear behind it is more powerful than the beast itself?

    Good idea, but "at no cost" is nearly right - except for the electricity you have to buy to put in the thing. Apart from that small correction it's accurate... in a chinglish kinda way.

    Well that would be handy in Wellington, pushing lead batteries uphill in the rain.

    Does that mean you can't ride it on days hotter than 25?
    Could fry (or "fly") the battery !!!
