The box was enormous, about the size of a large refrigerator, so we had to bust it out at the store. It took a bit of cramming to get it in the back of the pickup. The canopy meant we had to lay it on its side and slide it in. I figure the bike will encounter more extreme punishment in its future with me. I am not sure how long it will last but I already cracked a side mirror and some of the plastic pieces seems fairly flimsy.
The battery was almost completely charged out of the box. Plugging it in down by my parking space in the building is going to be tricky without a long extension cord and permission from the strata council. The lead battery is pretty hefty, at about the weight of an ordinary car variety. It can be taken out. That way I charge it right in the apartment with a little black device about the size of a laptop one.
I put about 10 kilometers on it just running down to the Royal Columbian hospital on the new bike route. I also made to the top of the hill in New Westminster but that required a bit of pedaling as there's a big incline getting uptown.
Expect some serious reviews here after I've had some time to play.
