Anyone see this weeks Apprentice? The task was to design and sell electric bikes. I challenge you to watch it without screaming at the screen............

I’d look at the Cube and Kalkhoff (with the Bosch motor) step through’s.

I’ve not read through all of the 7 pages so apologies if someone else has made this point. I’m a local Councillor who promotes cycling and is trying to create more cycle paths and shared use paths. I’m also in touch with SUSTRANS who are reviewing the National Cycle Network and looking for...

Biggest problem I see is fitting a rear rack.Cant quite understand why they didn't include it and fit the battery there as most manufacturers do?

I've spent longer fiddling with my bike gears than all of my cars put together over 50 years!

Just to emphasise, you need to try some bikes on your route. Depending on your fitness, you might spend quite some time over 15mph which will greatly affect your battery life. i.e. on a normal restricted bike the battery won't be helping you and you'll get a lot more out of it. Looking at your...

I crank it up to full, that's why I bought an electric bike!

Is it best to keep the battery inside? I keep mine at around 14 - 20 degrees as I read that I shouldn't keep it in the barn.

I’d go for the Bosch powered Crossfuse, but you need to try some test rides. Some people prefer hub motors and others the crank drives.

If you're looking at Bosch powered bikes at around the £1,500 - £2,000 mark you'll find that they all use similar running gear, brakes, gears etc. It comes down to style of frame, things like mudguards/racks or making sure there are lugs to fit them (if that's what you want) then there's the...

Don’t forget the rider who was jailed for having an accident at just 18mph but had no front brake. I think you would be viewed in the same way. But what really worries me is that the backlash might affect us all.

That's a decent price at £1,600 - although I'd like a 500 battery, It does have the look of what motorcyclists used to describe as a "Parts Bin Special" with an Active Line motor rather than a Performance Line one. But using discounts and offers I'd suggest its a good buy at £1,300 - £1,400 or...

Any info on price and range? As we have more and more of these type of bikes on the scene it will become more important than ever to protect our position and to keep our sector separate from them.

This one is good https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0080R1CBG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I thought it was a little strange that they didn’t include a crank powered model, and the course was a bit limiting to say the least!

http://granfondo-cycling.com/cube-agree-hybrid-c62-worlds-first-real-e-road-bike/ ooh, I do like the look of this one! The motor and battery both clip off to convert it to a standard road bike. Not sure I dare to ask for a test ride on this one, not at £4,500! But a sign of things to come?

Here's an article about the bike, and it mentions that DC has one on order ........... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/11712225/Tour-de-France-2015-Cycling-fears-cheats-have-a-new-weapon-mechanical-doping.html#disqus_thread

That looks right. Anyone tried one of these? It looks very nice. I wonder what the battery capacity is?

I didn't get a proper look at the bike but it looked as if it was a "stealth" one with the battery hidden in a bottle?

Just watching C4 Spa F1 qualifying. One segment shows David Couthard along with a pro cyclist and a racing driver on a bike ride in the Belgian countryside. DC seemed to be keeping up well and I was beginning to suspect he was getting a little help, admitted right at the end, but I didn't get to...
