Very interesting, I've been very much a big fan of the NuVinci concept for a while and it's great to hear you've been using one. So, how much does one of those cost then?

Fixed! Now 24.6kg with the Li battery.

Are you absolutely sure your 250W 905e is within the letter of the law? I recall exceeding 16mph down the Strand on the one I tried!

Hi Mike, yes, that is the sole difference. We were left with no choice after the price of NiMH batteries rocketed! The bike tested by A to B is from the original consignment of NiMH Livs.

A to B seal of approval The Liv is due to be reviewed in the next edition of A to B magazine and looking at their site today we found that the eZee Liv Plus electric bike (the new eZee Liv with a 37V Lithium battery pack) has been awarded the honour of being only 1** rated bike on their...

eZee are reporting significant price increases and demands from the supplier for money up front, which is crazy.

I think I found some video of this remarkable contrivance here. Can anyone name that tune? Thanks for the update, very much looking forward to that weekend.

Linked to from our blog here The last time I read an article that was so positive about a technology it was just before the dotcom boom in the late 90s. Red Herring magazine mentioned in that article was a big player in the explosion of the Internet, let's hope their forecasts of growth in...

eZee Livs have arrived We took delivery of the first eZee Livs this morning and first impression is that it's a great move by eZee to introduce a bike that performs so well at this price. Quiet and smooth power, good riding position, a neat little nexus 3-speed hub and twistgrip gear shifter -...

I took a short test ride one Street Enlightened last month and was surprised at how weak the assistance was. Sure, it looks OK, but the components are pretty standard - gears, rims, etc, it's only 24V and I wouldn't like to replace the NiMH cells hidden in that tube. They've dropped the NuVinci...

The Times backs bikes Just posted about a really excellent leader article from the Times. Very pro-cycling indeed and makes good points about road safety. I don't expect we'll see Rupert Murdoch on two wheels any time soon though.

What would you like to see in the Torq II?

Shanghai I'll be updating the blog with what I saw on the streets of Shanghai. Electric bikes of all shapes and sizes were one of the most popular ways to get around, whatever the weather.

Yes, it's a new one. Your original Sprint is being taught a lesson in our workshop!

That was exciting. He would have had a great opportunity to test his rollcage had he not cannily put left lock on before keeling over. There used to a Saturday morning show from Iceland with weird and wonderful vehicles doing the same thing up black, volcanic slopes. I don't recall them being...

In reality, who could really be bothered to trek out to the Presteigne course with a theodolite and spirit level and then set up a bike to suit it?

Didn't Matra buy the Tidalforce technology recently?

We've tried to contact BionX a few times out of curiosity but never heard a single word in reply. Maybe they only read emails if they're in French? Could be. Zut alors. I don't think their system is all that hot anyway.

I think it may be too early to say it would struggle at the moment - none of the latest Livs has reached these shores yet! I say this because the motor, as used in the Rider, has already seen long service (30,000km+) in mountainous Switzerland, in the hands of an octogenerian, and that' was a...
