Smart Ebike – £2,495

That weight comes from its sturdy aluminium frame, which you know will withstand a nasty fall.

And that’s what you want when you spend so much money – something that will last.

It has an easy to read display which tells you how far you’ve ridden, your average speed and even how long you’ve been in the saddle.

And on the same snazzy little panel you can flick through its four levels of assistance depending on how lazy you feel at any given moment.

But possibly the coolest thing is that awesome display thingy even has a USB port in case you need to charge up your phone.

When you get to your destinatio­n and the battery is almost flat from all the breakneck riding and smart phone charging, then plugging it in couldn’t be easier.

Put in the plug, switch it on and you’re away. It’s the simplest bloody thing ever.

Despite its many good features – and this thing is truly exceptiona­l – the price is a stumbling block for me. I wouldn’t be able to afford it on Gadget Boy wages (I’m paid in Rolos), but if you have the money to burn then it’s a great investment.

Remember!! Just like a car you can’t drink and ride and you certainly can’t do drugs and ride. Who do you think you are, Lance Armstrong?
