A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Electric bikes
Time for another video or two. Here we have an Australian electric bike called the Stealth Fighter doing an impressive performance:
I'm not sure it is road legal in the UK though. Electric bikes are getting far more robust and powerful now, I think it must be about time that legislation in the UK started recognising these alternatives. Although the Stealth Fighter is designed for off road use, it does demonstrate that electric transport doesn't have to be flimsy. Another interesting vehicle is the Bike Board, which recently appeared on the Gadget Show.
Here's another video of the Stealth bike:
