Bet they're all being sold direct from the manufacturer rather than stock (variable lead time).

On the subjct of testing, I'd prefer to see some standardisation, so the pottential customer can base their decision on figures that actually mean something comparitively. It'd also introduce an element of true competition, and so drive development to new standards of excellence. Maybe there'll be a "Which e-bike" someday.

I've criticised the Extra Energy test before, so poorly set up and subjective and the climb test so easy, the results are near to useless. Here's the link to the English language tests report:

Hi Bigbee

EA seem to be a self appointed test house for Electric bikes especialy in continental Europe. I am not certain how much their advice is heeded but they are very active. In my opinion they are good for the industry, at least it gives a bench mark for manufacturers to work around. We will be sending our new range of European spec-ed bikes (C700 wheels and Alfine hub geared with a front motor) to EA for testing later this year.
