The 175mph electric bike – yeah, right...

Posted: 13/05/2008 at 14:06

To be fair, some electric motors can put out huge amounts of torque and so could pull huge gearing to get a decent top speed.

Not sure about doing 175 on a scooter but I'm sure the physics would be possible.

he meant kph i think - elsewhere i've read that there'll be a performance/economy switch, where the performance option is good for about 70mph

Looks like he is genuine about the top speed

It says.."Your face ..my arse"

Gedge,

Tuo faccia mio culo - is 'Your face my arse'.

What yours says is 'You dear, my arse'. Which sounds like you've promised something to a boyfriend.

 .... but hey! it's a big world and there's room enough for all tastes. I know some nice blokes who are a bit gay (not well of course).

Sorry, couldn't resist. I worked in an office in Madrid and didn't speak Spanish. The guys kept calling me tonto and I thought they were being friendly and it was related to the Lone Ranger so I called them Kemo Sabbe.

After a week someone told me ......

No offence intended.
