Is it in here?
Yes, that one had my bike in it. Apparently I have the first Empulse E1 in Europe. Marchel, the Dutch importer, is really great. We had the appointment for Friday 13th (yesterday) but of course the bike had not arrived on time so he drove to Hamburg (Germany!) and personally picked it up in order to make the appointment! How about that for service!
Next surprise when he un-crated the bike was to find out it had the red colour scheme (I ordered a black one).
He explained that this was normal and only the seat and tank panel needed to be swapped. Those items arrived at his shop on Friday morning so he quickly installed them and drove down to Utrecht to deliver a beautiful black Empulse E1 to me!
As he was coming to deliver my bike at work he also brought a demo bike and a few colleagues took a spin on that!
We drew quite a crowd (lots of bikers at Ziggo).
After we did the paperwork we loaded up my old Vectrix into his van and said goodbye to it.
I took the scenic route home and in the evening took both my daughters for a ride. But because the charge cable will only arrive by mail today I could not ride it today yet. So I took the opportunity to buy all the stuff required for insurance (locks, wall plate) and other stuff needed for daily use (rain cover and backpack).
I just finished installing the LoobMan chain oiler so I am now all set for the charger to arrive and ride some more!
Once you go EV, gas is history!
