My electric bike has arrived. This is what it looks like:

Scooter1  Scooter2

This was the worst possible time for it to be delivered. I'm feeling rather sick today, and have been unable to cope much, and losing my temper something fierce. Also, it's raining, so it was delivered in the wet. When it was delivered it had a flat back tire, and was less than fully charged. As they still had the thing for a week after I paid for it, I thought that a bit rude. Kevin was trying to test it, and said that "it felt like it had a clutch in the rear wheel", which isn't quite right.

Hmmm - not that I wanted to hear that. He phoned the local distributors and if there's a problem, it would probably be the controller, which costs about $70 to replace. Also, they didn't bring the manual (which was advertised on the eBay listing), but will post it to me. I'm really not up to dealing with this today (and is likely to be the only post from me today), so it's been put on charge and forgot about for now (when I'm better I'll pump up the tire and take it for a test ride). I just want to go back to sleep.

Surprised about the colour, but yellow's good for night riding. What to call her? Kevin thought of "Tallulah" (which means Abundance, lady, princess in Gaellic) - any suggestions?
