+1 vote for this option. I've tried a couple out recently. The Haibike almost had me flexing my credit card immediately. Great fun and superb for anyone with dodgy knees or other health issues that make cycling unassisted unfeasible.
Happily, I have no dodgy knees or health issues, apart from laziness and a lack of fitness!!!!

Would that be a US sized pint of pisswater beer or a UK sized pint of warm dishwater ale? :P

Data wrote:Speaking as a new fairly young early retiree myself, I know the dilemma. As others are saying, I guess it does depend on whether you are going to get another job and have the need for a commuter. If so keep the Bev. Otherwise, the skies the limit! Get and do whatever you want that makes you happy. Well, at least that's my philosophy...but I talk much rubbish! Other more sensible people will come along in a moment and give you proper advice... :lol: Me, I'm looking to add the Sym 600i to my stable alongside my Burgman 400. And today I discovered a Sym dealer on my doorstep so am a happy man. I'm also going for a test ride on the Kymco 400i as soon as possible, just in case I'm missing something. The Sym dealer is a Kymco dealer too! Wow! :o He can get me a demo of either model if given enough time. Can't complain about that.
Ditto from me .... The last 18 months have served to confirm my attitude to life, do what you can while you can and dont put too many of your eggs in the retirement basket .... as you may not get to crack them ;)
Never look down on anyone ........ unless it is to help them up
