Indeed not the best thing to be riding on the mean streets of Istanbul! Today was the first time I got to ride it properly...25kms from parents place to mine...spent more time looking in the mirrors than I did in front of me
I bought it to use at our place in Ayvalik (about 1.5hrs north of Izmir) as a run around, but it's such a hoot to ride I might keep it here instead! It doesn't cope too well with my svelte 95kg on steep hills, luckily it has back up booster pedals though
