I can sympathise being six foot six never really found a bike that fitted the Pan was the best but heavy as to cars two good friends have hybrid cars same problems with batteries my neighbour you have to laugh has an electric car that is constantly plugged into his house ..an old VW van that is constantly on charge as he's put loads of gizmos in it that drain the battery he has just converted it to have LED front lights so new bonnet with unusable solar panels.. third car is a normal Skoda Octavia.. like me but ours is petrol and cheaper to run plus tax is low
