> I like it because the 30 mile range, whilst not suiting my 18 mile commute for a daily charge, actually does suit the vast majority of cyclists that I know who only commute fewer than 10 miles.

If you can easily remove the wheel, then this isn't much of a problem, they say it charges in 2-3 hours from a normal socket so you could probably get to work, plug the wheel in under the desk and have it charged well before you're going home.
