China will phase out battery-powered electric bikes that exceed national speed and weight restrictions - even as Beijing seeks to reduce pollution and ease chronic traffic jams in major cities. Electric bikes must not weigh more than 40 kilogrammes (88 pounds) or travel faster than 20...

I am in discussion with Grosvenor Shows Ltd,they organise the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh,the next show is 06May - 07May,2012. The 2011 kit car show,in my opinion,had some spare space and could easily add an electric bike area in tandem with the kit cars. The cost of entry was modest and...

Kudos Cycles is currently looking at the Cycle to Work scheme-such a scheme could only have been dreamed up by a civil servant-it is so complex that a trading company would only commit to the effort involved if it was getting top dollar for the cycle-the middlemen companies,example bike to work...

I had to answer one of our customers question about LifePo4 battery conditioning and usage,the answer may be useful to others. Our LifePo4 supplier has no specific conditioning instructions but has recommended that for optimum battery life they should be stored between 30% and 80%,it should be...

We continue to offer the Kudos bikes with derailleur type gears or internal hub gears. The hub gears to me have so many advantages-almost maintenance free,ability to change gear stationery,straight chain-easily guarded,smooth changes from highest to lowest gear yet many customers still prefer...

Our full e-shop website is now on line-we tried to keep it user friendly yet informative-see Kudos Cycles There is much in the 'Decisions' and 'Faqs' sections(click buttons)that should spark many comments from the knowlegdeable pedelecs members. Tomorrow we will be unloading production stocks...

Have taken a number of potential customers out for test rides over the last few weeks,most are experienced cyclists but new to electric bikes. The most common question is how do I go slower-they feel that on flat terrain especially they are going faster than comfortable. I must say following...

Searching through this forum I found a well constructed letter from BEBA to the EU Commision,if David will allow me to precis this letter I think it basically has 2 proposals- 1) To abandon the 250 watt motor limit but retain the 25kph speed restriction. 2) To allow use of a throttle without...

I have had some customers who are a little concerned to place orders on cycles when no production stock is available to view in the UK. I think Pedelec viewers will be reassured by the attached photos of 176 Sport models and 140 Tourer-Nexus 8 and Deore 9 models. The Sport bikes (black and...

At Presteigne,so many people did not understand what the AUTO button does on the simple LED displays. Reading through the manual it revealed this feature to be quite useful yet misunderstood. What the AUTO button does is to hold the speed at 6kmh on flat or slight incline,it is useful on those...

Having spoken to many at Presteigne I have tried to understand the logic of Torque Sensors-correct me if I am wrong but with a torque sensor crank- the sensor detects the amount of torque that the rider is exerting onto the pedals, if that pressure is high the controller decides the rider needs...

Others on this forum thought that this bike was just for show not available for test-that was not so,but I apologise if that was not clear. It was probably our most popular tested bike of the day. Because of the spec and higher cost than our other bikes I chose only to import a limited number of...

We made the decision that almost all the new Kudos Pedelec and e-bike ranges should be powered by the latest LifePo4 (Lithium Phosphate) battery. It seemed a no-brainer to us with the following considerations but would welcome others opinions. Price-our spare batteries are priced from...
