Here with have the Cyrusher! Something so ugly only a mother could love, but I don’t care as it’s going to be joining me on the next stage of my life, retirement! It’s going to be used for bait digging and fishing duties on the Spurn peninsular, so saving me a 6 mile walk. I was planning on converting a standard fat bike but this came up locally after the guy who owned it couldn’t carry it up the stairs to his second floor flat. 
Anyway at the grand old old of 66 I’d never ridden an Ebike and I must admit this thing has blown me away with how much fun it is and I’ve not been on the beach yet! 
Just need a new gear shifter and the rear brake needs a bleed. 
Please feel free to mock and take the pee as much as you like!

Definitely not your classic 'looker', but if it allows you to do what you need/want and more, it's just the job!

Enjoy!

Like any ugly bike it is instantly transformed into a thing of beauty by adding a smiling rider.

They look ideal for bait digging.

The lawn needs those pebbles sweeping up

Previous owner loks like he has a torso to limb length ratio approaching that of a python. Nothing that can't be fixed with an allen key in a few minutes though.

And pointing the front light at the floor rather than upwards at oncoming pedestrians and cars might be a good plan too.

Other than that it seems ideal for its intended use.

Ohh I bet that'll be ace fun riding out to Spurn! Not been that way for a while, might have to have a trip when it warms up a little. I'll keep an eye out for you!

I was going to suggest calling it Beverly, before I noticed the "y."

26*4" fat tyres? Is there anything better than Jumbo Jims these days?

I’m running AlMighty front and Jumbo Jim rear for winter. @cogglepin if you direct message me tyre sizes then I’ll send you some slime for a retirement present - the sensible alternative to tubeless!
