Hi Col, the vast majority of bikes sold into EU are still shipped in from Asia. When anti dumping was inflicted on the industry production simply moved within Asia and to Tunisia. Europe does not make any more bikes now than when antidumping on ordinary bikes was imposed. IMO It was a complete...

Thanks for the heads up. We need to make certain that the antidumping duty does not get extended to all parts.

Thanks MS, you are very kind. There are several of us that post who share knowledge of the market and where we think it's going. Being only a small business, a sharing of information helps us to keep abreast of what our customers are looking for in the next generation of electric bikes. A few...

We have found that as long as the battery had been turned off and the connectors are not live there is no problem with changing the battery as many times as you like. If however the battery is removed when still live the terminals are literally spark eroded away. So it's best always to make...

Hi Dave. We have two new bikes being finalised now, a folder and a unisex step through. Both will have completely hidden but easily removable batteries with the option to fit rack batteries for longer rides. We are going 30 cells on the folder and 50 on the step through for the internal...

We do have something similar coming. The issues are getting a large enough capacity battery into the frame and then making sure the battery is easily accessible and removable. The Jetson battery is static and cannot be removed. Not great for commuters or people who need to remove their battery...

You should be OK, but as Dave says, you shouldn’t store the bike outside in the elements. Advice for anyone carrying an ebike on a car or motor home rack: Always remove the battery before transporting an ebike. The ultra fine spray created in the vortex behind your vehicle in rainy conditions...

Hi Alraz, I saw your order this morning, thank you for investing in a Wisper. Your bike is being prepared now and will go out today or maybe tomorrow as we are unusually busy for January! Are you OK with Warrington? All the best, David

If you have a hub drive with a torque sensor the bike will perform well in any gear, the more pressure you put on the pedals the higher the assist level will be. Simply ride up the hill in the gear and to the cadence that suits you best, if you do need more assistance go to a higher assist...

Hi Phil, Dave and Neal, you are real gentlemen and massively knowledgable. Thanks for helping Chris with his project, much appreciated. All the best, David

Hi, We have worked with the Green Commute for over a year and can confirm they are great to deal with. It's all very simple, just call them and they will do all the work for you including contacting your employer. Dealers like them as they only charge 5% not 10% plus as most others. More...

Just a suggestion but the Wisper SE bikes are almost within budget at £1,099 and will handle the tow paths well with their 1.95" tyres. They are available on the Halfords scheme.

Hi Steve, on Wednesday 3rd. Anything urgent pls email me. David@amps.bike All the best, David

They failed with normal bikes and will eventually fail with Ebikes, even if they win the first round.

Thanks Gaz!

No need to adapt or evolve when what we have works. Protectionism has never and will never work on simple machines like Bicycles. If China is forced out a cheaper manufacturing base will fill the vacuum. This happened with ordinary bicycles and will happen with eBikes.

Why should we be forced into changing anything?

Hi Col, as I mentioned in a previous post. I have been working with my team in China for years now. I trust them and we have a great freindship. Why should these genuine pioneers of the ebike industry be cut out because of the greed of a few big European assemblers? The Chinese were developing...

Yes I suppose so, however the bike frames are designed by RM, the components are made primarily in Asia like most bikes, shipped to Germany for assembly. Much like the Bosch motor.

The Chinese are cleaning up factories faster than any other country in the world, they should be supported. I know of two big frame painters that have been closed down until thier filter systems are up to scratch. This harsh attitude is brilliant, if only we were as tough. One of the has spent...
