Hehe yeah it's an exciting idea that seems to fill a real need.. I guess I will sit back now for a bit and see if others agree and hopefully some discussion will start. I wonder how many ebike owners there are now in the UK? Perhaps someone can advise us on the size of the industry and give us...

Agreed Cycle probably makes much more sense as most people have no clue what pedelec means outside of the industry and forum :) Good point about the triangle it usually means caution. Perhaps stick with the circle then or a rounded square maybe. I like how you're thinking longer term and...

Electric car approaches to signs.. This is very clever, something like that with a bicycle would look good. I like this combined E and C logo from Nissan, but it's more like a commercial trademark.

You guys and other volunteers will have to do the "out and about" promoting side as I'm the shy retiring type who prefers to remain behind the scenes doing the technical stuff :P I will try and do what I can to promote it locally tho. Once the website is setup someone in each area could write to...

Ok Alan whatever you think best, maybe when we feel we have enough suggestions in the hat and sufficiently different, we can then take a vote once the thread gets enough interest. If I take on the responsibility of registering the domain and setting up the website it will be on the...

GREEN is better Two more I made, bright green is nicer than yellow?

Sounds good! OK well we have floated the idea and now as you say, the first stage is to agree upon a name. We have some good ideas already so let's see if anyone can come up with anything better... shall we allow the rest of the week to mull over further ideas and then take a vote from a...

Good points Lynda. I agree free is probably the way to go at least for long as it's possible. We could make it clear on the site though that we would deal with charging at a future date if ebikes ever become so mainstream that it became a practical or economic burden on charge-point businesses...

Chargingpost is a great simple name Alan. It's only available as org.uk I just checked..have to make sure no other sites using the name are similar or conflicting on trademarks. Shouldn't be a problem though. Let's add it to top of the short list?

I agree, lets take some time over the name and not rush into it... it looks like we have the nucleus of a team between the three of us? :D If we can come up with a name which can be incorporated into the logo and is easy to remember, so much the better.

That would be a good idea and we could link the two websites, the power point site could be a sister site to this one? Perhaps use the cycle part of the logo and put different words below it? Alternatively could do something that stands out more, like yellow triangle with a battery icon...

other names.. bikecharge.net / bikecharge.co.uk / bikecharge.org.uk chargingpoint.org.uk Feel free to make suggestions, perhaps we could make a short list of the most popular and vote on it?

Great to see some enthusiasm and interest in this idea! As a suggestion, it might be better for someone with some design experience to design a simple website and a simple logo for the sticker.. first stage would be to register a catchy domain name like stopandcharge.net / stopandcharge.org.uk...

I'm a scaredy cat and won't be riding mine once the ground frost and icy roads start. I've had trouble with the wet weather and wheels sliding since I changed my chunky MTB tyres for skinny road slicks, so I just don't want to risk it when the weather gets worse. Can't be bothered to change the...

How common are ebikes where you guys live? I think I must of been one of the first people to get one in my town as over the last I've only ever seen ONE other person with one and he was an old man. They just don't seem popular or mainstream in my neck of the woods still. I see plenty of people...

I'm curious, what kind of places are you asking? I think it must be confusing for some places like pubs and guest houses etc, because they probably fear a big electricity bill or some scam or something. Something I thought about a while back which might be a good idea is some kind of national...

I have that very battery myself from BMS, had it a couple of months (10Ah). So far so good, its powerful and a performance improvement on my LiFePo4 5Ah battery without much weight/size gain so I'm very pleased.

My bike is capable going over the legal limit a bit but not by much so I generally don't worry. I have throttle only mode and used to worry more about getting stopped for that than the speed, but I've past quite a few police and had them driving behind me before and they never paid the slightest...

Very creative Alan! I haven't made any further progress on my rear view mirror... two reasons really.. firstly I've sort of grown accustomed to my regular mirror..it's a pain in the ass the way it keeps moving all the time, but I just re-adjust it and have gotten used to it now. The other...

Hi folks, For those of you who don't recall, I bought a Lithium-Ion 10Ah battery from BMS a couple of months ago I think, been using it daily since then.. I have just noticed over the last 2 weeks, the battery seems to have gotten more powerful! I haven't been using it as much (using...
