We have all I’m sure like myself had plenty to comment about ev’s, so I thought in order to qualify for a proper appraisal I would have to be an ev owner. I have until very short ago myself said that I wouldn’t have an ev because of the price, but since I got the offer of one for the same price as a petrol/diesel I thought why not! These have certainly come down in price significantly. So ferry booked away with vehicle to trade in and did the deal. I must admit this didn’t seem right that I was going to drive the 130 mls home just relying on a charged battery! Set off anyway after killing a couple of hours in Inverness with 212mls on the range indicator. I was a bit stressed watching the range indicator heading up the road but my fears were allayed when I arrived at ferry check in with 80 miles still “in the tank” or whatever us ev owners say. Very pleased to arrive home and hadn’t really given much thought into how I was going to charge this thing up when I got home. A trip to Lidl the next day and I was charged up again. I’m probably just going to slow charge from home as we will be doing somewhere in the region of 3000mls an year. Nearly all short runs around town. Forgot to mention it’s a Peugeot e2008. GT, and had 673mls on the clock at purchase, so not brand new. Time will tell, but very happy so far. 😁

Well done Ted, always big relief to hear it running as it should. Looking forward to some pics, and it’s a bit refreshing to see an alternative interpretation as to what your bike should look like. I have never done a build other than what the book and manuals say it should look like. But I will be attempting my first one in the near future so looking forward to it. Will start gathering bits and pieces soon. Good luck with the finishing touches.

Descent looking bike even without the proper exhausts, but as Mick says those tank decals are awful! Not even close to what they should look like.

Bryan that’s a bloody raw deal you have been dealt with in terms of your family etc, but it’s testament to you for your unwavered and continued assistance through the forum to assist people with comparably trivial problems. Well done for that and all the best mate!

😂😂🤭 You won’t be the first or last to do something silly! At least you’re willing to admit it too. Very satisfying to get it sorted too.

Ted that all sounds exhausting! (somebody had to do it). Sounds like you’ve done a good job there bike is starting to look like it’s about ready to roll. It’s a shame when parts are made for a specific model that they don’t fit correctly, especially going to the expense and trouble to produce a quality replacement.😡

Good work there Ted! Had to do similar work on my replacement shoes on the 550 except they weren’t binding when fitted.👍
