Pedelecs 10,000+ members

Sometime overnight Pedelecs membership passed the 10,000 mark - congratulations to Russ and Helen for all their effort to keep this site one of the top Ebike places to visit.

Yes, membership is growing steadily with most of it's members from the UK where electric bikes are far less popular than in neighbouring European countries.

Germany for example has a huge electric bike ownership and the German Pedelec forum is just under 14,000.

Endless Sphere has 24,000 members but is not exclusively an electric bike forum.

So in comparison I guess we are doing OK.

And the Netherlands has proportionally the largest e-bike market of all with over 1 in 8 of all bike sold being pedelecs, but as far as I am aware has no e-bike forum.

Are we deduce then that forums reduce sales?

No, from what I posted I deduce that the presence of the support of local knowledgeable e-bike capable dealers everywhere there makes a forum far less necessary.

It's the lack of that in most parts of the UK that makes a forum more necessary and membership desirable.

Thanks shemozzle999, it was a little while since I last searched for one. Still not solely Dutch though, it's Benelux for The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Despite all their excellent bike shops, I'm surprised that The Netherlands hasn't had a forum of their own, given the Dutch buy at least ten times our UK number of pedelecs every year.

Apparently the honour of being the 10,000th member goes to sega7 - welcome to the site.
