    I drive a 10 year old UTE. Son drives a 3 year old UTE. Wife drives a Nissan Patrol top of the line but 15 years old. We will be updating the wifes car soon to a ........UTE. I really hate paying FBT.

    All UTE's are dual cabs.

    Simply not into cars.

    yep, but fortunately it has a backup engine, and the charger is small and light enough to carry with you.

    Cheers,

    Do those tires need a rotation?

    Very well! The electric assist just gives you that little boost along - lately I have been setting it not not actually assist while I am pedaling, but use the thumb throttle when taking off from lights/stop signs, crossing roads, etc while loaded. This while mostly riding on the flat though. With a load, going up a hill, the assist is well worth it!

    Cheers,
    Inertia.

    Do you know what sort of torque it has - or whatever rating they use?
    Can you change gears as you're going up hill?

    Our work has the same mentality, switching all the holden wagons out for diesel colorados

    The motor is a Bafang BBS01, and from the manual it says a max torque of >= 80Nm. Not sure how that compares with others, but it certainly assists when taking off with a load on the back.

    You can change gears while under power, but it has a sensor on the gear cable and removes power during gear shift to reduce wear.

    Cheers,
    Inertia.

    My bike shop guy fitted the motor.
