Hi All, Been a while since I posted on here, but thought it worth circling back on the Cycling Electric Magazine project - it's now on shelves in WH Smith, supermarkets, newsagents etc. Coronavirus did its very best to cancel the product entirely, but it's now out there...

Hi All, Has been a while since i posted, but thought this one might be of interest. Took the time at Eurobike to corner the Bosch CEO and what he has to say about customer demographic and future electric bike growth is interesting...

Have been speaking with one of Rohloff's tech chaps this past week and he let me in on this little development. OEM spec at first and with Bosch drives to begin with, but with scope to go beyond that in future. Of interest to anyone with a Speedhub in their collection too as retrofitable...

I've been speaking with a chap in Switzerland who has begun the process of developing a wireless charge system for e-Bikes. Looks like it could be a sensible enough bet for the future of electric hire fleets: https://cyclingindustry.news/wireless-charging-for-electric-bikes-on-the-horizon/

Found Eurobike's decision to extend a hall to e-Mobility interesting. https://cyclingindustry.news/eurobike-to-open-hall-to-e-mobility-solutions/ Provided it's all done above board (steps are being taken to enable this for the masses on speed pedelecs), I'm leaning toward wondering whether the...

Sorry, my threads coming like buses here. Also out of Bosch today, two new motors and better battery integration: https://cyclingindustry.news/bosch-introduces-active-line-and-active-line-plus-e-bike-motors/ For me, the battery integration is just about smart enough this year on bikes i've seen...

Debuted by Bosch just now. Works flawlessly across a number of surfaces with minute drain on the battery: https://cyclingindustry.news/bosch-debuts-abs-braking-technology-for-e-mobility/

Not my first excitable post on battery tech breakthrough, but may be of interest all the same. This looks rather exciting in terms of potential. Looks reasonable to produce and cost effective. Wouldn't take too much getting used to or infrastructure...

Hi all, Thought this one might be of interest and it comes with some good knowledge from the Bicycle Association's technical man Peter Eland. Brands have obviously no commented, but industry grape vine suggests in the future a brand neutral charge standard may come to fruition, if the trade can...
