Hi John, Samways Cycles in Ashbourne road, Derby, are a large cycle shop who stock a few ebike brands. They are also part of the cycle to work scheme. Well worth a look as not far from you at all. Kind regards Lloyd

Just to remind everyone about the Big Electric Bike Ride taking place this weekend, 14th-15th May in Bristol. Potential e-bike purchasers who are shopping for a bike this weekend may want to pop down to Bristol, where a fleet of the latest Raleigh electric bikes will be available free to demo...

Thans Kitchenman. As for mounting tips, we used the chest harness mount for some of the onboard shots, and the adhesive mount for the rest. The chest mount offered zero vibration, and a very good view of the battery display etc whilst riding. We then stuck one camera to the...

Further to discussion on an earlier thread, we have now uploaded our first 3 ebike videos to youtube, links below: YouTube - Raleigh Ebike Journeys YouTube - Raleigh Ebike Animation YouTube - Raleigh Ebike Commute There are bonus points available for anyone that can spot my sneaky...

Thankyou NRG. We have certainly worked very hard on these bikes for the past year! The feedback from all who have ridden it has been very positive so far, which is why I am personally so excited about our demo days that are coming up this year! Now all we need is for this wonderful...

The Velo models do feature hub motors, and the Motor in Question is the LBH brushless, sensored. The motor is very quiet during operation, and offers low drag resistance. None of our bikes feature throttles. We use a TMM4 torque sensor, with 3 modes of assistance and an LCD display. We have...

According to google maps, about 2-3 miles. You probably want to take the bike out for a good 20-30mins. As for colour, it is a metallic champagne, definately not yellow. Looks even nicer in the flesh than on a screen. The Trail is a pearlescent white too, which looks rather spiffing up close...

The RRP on those is £400 currently.

I have tried and broken many in my years trying to capture my off-road antics. My two-penneth for what it's worth, I used a GoPro HD recently to film an ebike commuting video, and it was perfect. I comes with more mounting options than you can shake a stick at, including my fav, the chest...

Also Pennyfarthing, I have checked with Martin from our Petersfield dealer, and he says that the town square immediate area is quite flat I'm afraid. There are some good test hills within a short ride from the site though, we can point you in the right direction on the day, and I have no problem...

Yes, we haven't officially launched the Velo range yet, as the first shipment is on it's way over to us. We have launched them to our dealers, so you may see some images appear on websites across the UK. Our website will be having a major overhaul, and all 2011 models featured as soon as the...

I will indeed. I am working on a mini-roadshow this year, which will visit most areas in the UK with free demo bikes, and incorporate group ebike rides for owners of any ebike brand. These will be led by British Cycling qualified ride leaders. I have confirmed the dates so far, and will be...

Hi Ed, We will be doing test days all over the UK, it's just that Petersfield is the first of many this year! We have a "Big Electric Bike Ride" planned for Sherwood Pines later in the year. Exact dates are TBC at present, but I'll make sure we book the sun.

Sorry guys, I didn't notice this thread as have been busy on the road training new ebike dealers! For 2011 the top end ratio has increased on all Panasonic drive systems, regardless of brand. It is now 1:2 in high power. This is regardless of which battery option you use. All the batteries...

This is my off-road Panasonic steed. A Raleigh Leeds Tour with a few mods The rack and mudguards are now off in preperation for the annual French Alps Pilgrimage. The front forks are waaaaay too big for the frame geometry, but boy does it handle some serious off road. I've not had a...

I had a small lipo do this whilst sat stored at 70% charge in my bedroom :eek: Very very lucky to have spotted it and got rid! I use these 7.4v packs for rc racing, and we are not allowed to charge them outside of fireproof lipo sacks, just in case. Fires are rare, but I have seen one or two...

I got a chance to sling my leg over the Bosch at Eurobike :D and have ridden plenty of panasonics throughout my time. Here's my slightly biased (We have Panasonic driven bikes) but honest two-penneth for what it is worth. The Bosch is fitted differently on different bikes, so on some ground...

Thing with carbon is most people assume that people go with it for weight advantages, and this is often not the case. Carbon is used particularly in forks because with carbon, unlike many metals, you can change the characteristic of the tube. This is done by altering the type of weave (the...
