Viking Tarantino E-Tandem
£1175
Viking Tarrantino E-Tandem 24 gears, very good condition, looks like new as recently professionally serviced, restored and fitted with a new 350 watt rear hub motor powered by new 36 volt lithium batteries (12.5Ah or 462 Wh). This can be operated by either pedal movement (5 power levels of pedal assist system - PAS) or thumb throttle.
The front seat tube is 19" and fits me (5'9") with plenty left either way on the seat pin so I would guess okay for up to a 6 foot pilot. Rear seat tube is 17.25" so good for up to a 5'8" stoker. My 10 year old son usually rides pillion so it will also suit a 5'2" stoker and shorter as the seat wasn't at its lowest
This bike has only done around 11km since its rebuild and runs perfectly with good stability, smooth gearshifts and powerful brakes. With a previous 350watt tandem we covered 68 km on one charge but more impressively did 810 metres of elevation gain and still had 1 bar (of 5) showing on the battery charge display. In flatter areas I would imagine you'd get around well over 100 km distance as the geared hub motor freewheels very well meaning you dont have to use the power on the flats unless into headwinds. This is all guess work to be fair as rider weight and fitness can drastically change these figures up or down but its just to give you an idea of the range. We carry a spare battery which would double the range and is available at extra cost (around £190) along with a bag and panniers.

These Hub Motors have been around for many years and are very reliable. I've fitted 18 so far and know of many others that have with no problems. The batteries have a life expectancy of greater than 500 cycles (charge then discharge) so you would have around 499 left which is a long time considering the high mileage you get per 20p charge.
Easy to ride and lots of fun, ideal for entertaining kids and off road rides along bridle ways and trails thanks to the sturdy frame and grippy puncture resistant tyres. Also great for camping/hosteling/B&B adventures as you can load up with racks/panniers with no problem especially if you have 3 batteries (around 300km range!) as we did on a similar E-Tandem. Thanks for looking, viewing welcome and please feel free to ask any questions.
