    Possibly, but they leave it up to their national dealers to clarify things for their own customers, and to take or leave the models, frame sizes and options they choose. So for British customers, at least, our website is the best guide to what will be generally available, though we are open to...

    Not so - visit 50cycles Electric Bikes - Home of the UK's Best Electric Bicycles and you'll see we offer each model with either a crossbar or stepthru, in four frame sizes in each. here, for example, is the 2010 crossbar Agattu (we've ordered mainly silver, but here it is in magnumbrown)...

    Not true, the Pro Connect is available with a step-thru frame. :confused: No photograph != no bike

    This is not the case, the Agattu, Tasman and Agattu XXL are all available with a crossbar in 2010.

    The Dover De Luxe Premium is an Agattu with a Raleigh badge and paintjob. There is no longer a Raleigh Leicester in the 2010 line-up.

    Not quite, this incarnation of the Raleigh Dover is the equivalent of the Agattu. It has same sprung forks, nexus inter-8 hub, weight, sprung seatpost, handlebars.

    In The Beginning

    It's now my nearest park. The road surface on Chestnut Avenue is almost as magnificent as the view. They need to turn the fountain back on though, that would be cherry on top of it all.

    In The Beginning

    Hampton Court, just over the Thames from Richmond Park, was the scene of 'monster meets' of up to 3,000 Ordinary bicycle riders in the mid to late 1870s. By 1878 they are able to form a procession over a mile long! Here they are going down Chestnut Avenue in what is now Bushy Park (with the...

    Raleigh Panasonic Bikes

    Have to correct you hear on a couple of points. We didn't 'lose' the eZee agency, we cancelled all future orders in light of a number of issues that Lloyd alerted us to after his factory visit, and also because of the unacceptable battery and charger failure rate. They had no choice but to find...

    Ultra-thin "credit card" bike

    I know they're short of space in Japan, but... The Electric Bike Concept Ver2 from Yuji Fujimura looks to ease the parking space jam, with folding pedals and handlebars that leave you with a thin sliver of a bike. Special racks will allow about three of these bikes to fit in the space of one...

    Thoughts on BEBA

    This is precisely our position. We had a meeting with David just a few weeks before BEBA was launched on 28 August, at a nice pub on the Thames. BEBA was not mentioned, nor was there any invitation to join. Maybe it was still a glint in the founding members eyes at that stage, but we've been...

    Electric Bike magazine

    Just sayin' that the prospect of a decent consumer-focused electric bike magazine excites me more and is more likely to further the interests of the electric bike movement as a whole than a very-much-commercially-focused trade body. There is of course room for both in this big, wide world though!

    Electric Bike magazine

    How excellent! This is what the industry has needed for a long time. Velovision is a great magazine, so very glad to see they're behind this. More excited by what this means for the electric bike movement than BEBA, for example.

    Nissan produce e cars

    I think it's the Nissan Leaf. Four-door, five-seat, top speed 90mph, charge time 8 hours on 220V. Range of up to 100 miles (which would leave me stranded at Leicester Forest East services on my trips up to the warehouse). Here's what it looks like: There's an article on Wired all about it
