With Flyer T8 Biketec has set boundaries for today's technologyRating 2007: Very goodPrice: 2,790 Euros
 

 
The sporty apperance is not misleading, this bike feels like a good 28 inch trekking-bike with wings attached.
Biketec has combined the latest Panasonic drive engineering with a Shimano 8-speed hub gear; they have also developed an electronic circuit for the light, which provides light even after turning off the engine.

Our advice: If you are looking for something with similar engineering but feel intimidated by the price, take a closer look at the models from the C-series starting from € 1,000 or less.
