Good to see Britain leading the way once again! Hope it develops into a world beating technology. I'll take some shares in the company :P

Nice video Chris, nicely filmed..despite the terrible roads in places.. What camera did you use and what sort of mounting? Paul

I agree the cyclamatic bikes look like great value start-out bikes for those wanting to try out electric bikes on a tight budget without committing loads of money or going down the kit build route.. they were amazing value at £399 plus the 10-20% off deals they used to do...still good value at...

Thanks Jerry! I enjoyed making the video and want to get into making videos more as I haven't done many before, does take up a lot of time though. Hehe no cruise control. That would be a neat feature tho. The LCD actually came with the kit I got from Austria and plugs into the controller..I...

That's not a bad weight at all, 18kg and it does make a lot of sense having the gear in the rucksack. I just weighed my bike again and its now weighing 20kg which is not too bad either suppose considering I've 26" wheels and 10ah now. I still haven't finished the bag on mine to allow it to be...

Nice job Jerry your build looks great, bike looks really tidy and well done! Did you weigh it now its all finished? Also how much did your bike cost if you don't mind me asking, it looks quite expensive.

That's clever Alan were you lucky to get something to fit that small space or did you have it heat and change the shape? I initially tried to fit my controller like that on the frame as I had a gap but I could see no way to do it so ended up just putting it in my bag.

Haha thanks Alan :D I've only been caught in the rain on it once, until last month, don't know whether that's down to luck or good planning. It's picked up quite a few knocks and chips on the paint work though from not having a stand!

Thanks for the votes guys and girls, keep them coming! We'll keep the poll open a bit longer to give more people who have been following this thread the chance to vote who might be busy.

Ok for those interested... the voting poll on the list of names of suggested for our project is now active.. Feel free to vote for your favourite name from the list.

I finally got round to finishing and uploading my video I did reviewing my bike if anyone fancies watching it. It's not great and the sound is a bit bad, but at least you get to see my bike and kit up close.

Thanks Lynda for the positive comments, I did worry you might go uuugh. Well websites are meant to evolve eh and we can fine tune it as we go along and maybe end up with something very different over time.. I've not done anything to the badge/sticker yet or the name really until we decide, but...

Awww what a shame :( Sorry to hear your first bike was so disappointing. I know what you mean about the weight of some of these bikes and how hard they to pedal unpowered..I had the same experience with my first bike which cost me a grand.. I ended up sending it back and the seller was happy to...

Here's the website then... I know the design isn't very good! I'm using a template I've modified a bit..but it'll do for now and we can improve it as we go along. Not sure about the black textured background..looks a bit like a road! Maybe some of you like it? We could change to white if people...

Quick update... I'm busily working away on the website, it's installed and progressing nicely..will post the url later when its nearing completion.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I've just seen this video on YouTube showing an eBike owner riding a 500W kitted bike on the roads. And he doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong in doing it and is openly dismissive of the law. Sigh. It's people like this that give eBiking...

You're firing on all cylinders...raring to go! I could start work now on a temporary website to outline the scheme and I will just use the popular green logo for now.. once we eventually agree on the final name and logo I can update it and register a domain name for the site. Sound ok?

Good common sense prospective Trevor. Perhaps we should now then just press ahead and agree on the logo and start work on the site, as there doesn't seem to be any reason not to. Even if the take up is tiny and we only get a dozen or so charge points every year its still of some benefit to...

Wow well done Lynda. Our first charging point :) What kind of business does she run? And did you have any difficulty persuading her or explaining the idea? Did she understand about ebikes?

Oh yes I think companies that have electrical equipment used by employees have a legal responsibility to make sure it complies with safety standards. You often see this too if you ever visited an auction sale room that sells second hand electrical equipment. Everything has a tested label on it...
