    Who says manufacturing in Britain is dead?

    Thank you all so much for your support and lovely wishes! We're delighted to have made it to this point, but we also feel it might be a beginning for new dynamics in the industry as a whole. For example, if everything goes to plan, we'd like to open up our facilities for other e-bike suppliers...

    Who says manufacturing in Britain is dead?

    Hi Shemozzle, if you mean the type approval plates, then I believe some suppliers have already started doing this, so not sure about being the first. But if this law is passed in 2016, then I guess all of us will have to comply.

    Who says manufacturing in Britain is dead?

    Hi my dear Pedelecs folks! Rather that just paste a press release, the following is so close to our hearts that I had to write it in my own words to share with the community here. Some of you have known this for quite a while now, and although it may not be a surprise them, it's time to let...

    Bargains at the NEC Cycle Show

    Hi Folks, For the first time ever, we will be offering a discount promotion on all our bikes this weekend at the NEC Cycle Show! If you find yourself around Birmingham this weekend, it's a great idea to swing by and spend the day at the UK's biggest cycle show! Lots of electric bikes are...

    Two-in-one! Off-road and on-road both in one bike!

    Well, that depends on usage. Estimating an average figure is a lot harder to do when derestricted because the variation in power consumption is a lot wider, and it is rare that you take the motor to their peak when derestricted (unlike the 250W versions). But if I make a wild guess and assume...

    Two-in-one! Off-road and on-road both in one bike!

    Thank you very much amigafan! :) Yes, these have been quite sought after since they've gone live. But not sure why we're not having more comments here, I was expecting hell to break loose on this thread haha! It might be that I chose a neglected forum section to announce these bikes... It's...

    Two-in-one! Off-road and on-road both in one bike!

    Hi All, Following the recent announcement for introducing our new de-restrictable high power conversion kits, the demand for them has been incredible! Seeing that, we've decided to introduce upgrades to our ever so popular Stealth and Revolver bikes by using exactly the same kit components. So...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    Hi folks! Bringing an old thread back to life here, and am doing so with such great pleasure! What started off as a brainstorming session on this very thread has now been completely developed and fully commercialized! And it is all thanks to the input people participated with here which...

    Battery Issues

    Dear Ceowulf, Thanks for pointing this post out to me by email earlier (I have a bad habit of drifting away from Pedelecs from time to time, so it's nice to be dragged back in :) ). Sorry for the hassle with the battery, I know you must be nervous now that the warranty is soon up. But please...

    Newbie help please Cyclotricity LCD "dasboard"

    Dear Keith, I have just replied to the email you sent us. We don't put details on how to access the menu on the user manual because we don't want people experimenting with them and end up messing the motor...as Frank delicately put it :) Luckily, the parameters you stated are the correct...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    That's true trex, it's common sense, I know. But I think it will appeal to a lot of people if they had the peace of mind that it is road-legal, and yet with the ability to go wild off-road if they wanted to...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    Actually, an idea just came up while brain storming with one of our dealers. What if we integrate a password in the LCD for de-restricting the motor? And this password would only be obtained from us when the customer returns a signed disclaimer stating that this feature will only be used for...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    Yes, that is where we got stuck discussing this project. So what I'm hearing here is even with a specifically developed software to restrict power to the required limit still won't qualify us to describe the kit as a pedelec? For me, the whole idea with this is to make the configuration info...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    Thanks trex and D8veh! Yes, the EN15194 is also a good point. I'm wondering how people like BH E-Motion managed their way around the EN15194 with their 350W motor though? But anyway, our intention is really to introduce just the kit instead of a full bike. (D8veh, yes we have dealt with MXUS...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    That's a very interesting way of putting it flecc, food for thought indeed.. So in your opinion, having a handlebar switch or a quick mode-change on the LCD is a bit dodgy.. What would you say if we were to code the LCD to make the mode-switching slightly more difficult for the user? Perhaps...

    Is it road-legal to restrict a 500W motor?

    Hi there, I just wanted to wave my hand here quickly and see if anyone can shed some light on a discussion we've had internally at our company. For those that are more clued up on the details of the law concerning the rated power restrictions, would you say that having a 500W motor...
