Almost an ebike. . .

 This was almost too good to be true - how to be able to keep cycling, uphill, any distance, sciatica or no, against a headwind. . . all for half the normal price, on a GrabOne sale. So I spent my big bucks and waited. . .

 . . . and waited. . . five days beyond the delivery date. . . this carton was waiting for me behind the carport. Yes, it WAS a kitset after all, despite no comment to that effect on the product description.

 And when finally it was all taken out and roughly put together. . .we find it is only ALMOST a bike.

MISSING: pedals, lights, charging cord. . . and most of all, the original enthusiasm of the biker buyer.
