I believe you need to brake quite hard to pull them up as there's very little engine friction.

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

They might incorporate regenerative braking like in the Prius.  That would help.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

They didn't say how long the batteries last with all the radio/lights going. Be embarrassing the be chasing some 'felon' with bells and whistles going and slowly coasting to a stop.   :grin
