    Trade disputes on Pedelecs!!!!

    David, I have never seen you OTT. Passionate, honest and dedicated yes. OTT, no. It would be brilliant for you to have a factory in the UK. Look at what Triumph have achieved for inspiration on that score.

    Change in e-bike legislation

    Seems like the way to go for me is a second motor (throttle controlled of course) to turn the pedals for me, with some cruiser style footboards to rest my poor legs. :D

    You are only as old as the woman you feel. That makes me mid-thirties. :D

    Electric scooter or bicycle........................

    If I were you, I would buy a very large motorcycle, then you can enjoy yourself going the long way to work. :D

    Someone make this snow go away!!

    Hi Rog, I agree about the compound and it is particularly important in cold weather where harder compounds become even harder. Most tyres designed for ice and snow have big block patterns with tread close to right angles to the direction of travel; the idea being that they bite into the...

    Someone make this snow go away!!

    My eldest son (age 6) was off school today and we all built an igloo in the back garden, went sledging in our field then had baked potatoes in front of the fire. The pic is Mrs Django and youngest son. Utterly fantastic day. :)

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    Hi David, Thank you for your typically honest and clear reply. I fully understand your position. Might you be able to elaborate upon your view that the ICE motorcycle lobby hates e-bikes. I am a very keen motorcyclist and would be happy to become involved in countering such views.

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    The major cheat was a 75cc big bore kit, along with Boyesen reeds and a Micron exhaust. Genuine top speed was probably closer to 60mph; down a hill and with a following wind it was possible to see 70mph on the speedo.

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    Thanks Harry. I totally understand the sense in this, though as one who remembers teenage years tuning my Yamaha FS1SE 'moped' until it cracked 70mph, the thought of e-bikes going the way of motorbikes with tight controls from all angles does leave me a little sad. :(

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    Hi David, Does the first quotation below indicate a change since the second quotation which you wrote in August? There is also the issue of the 'off road' button which you know is used on the roads by many, if not most. I have noted and very much appreciated your efforts on the legal...

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    Hi John, Interesting to see that almost 60% went for hub powered bikes as I have often thought of myself as being in an ever decreasing minority who prefer this system. This high percentage is, no doubt, partly explained by the excellence of the whole Wisper package but it is reassuring to me...

    Knocking sound from my EZee Torq

    I often go to jazz gigs (I am a jazz musician after all) and at one particular gig the drummer was awful. A friend mentioned that he sounded like a man building a shed. It was spot on as an accurate description of both the noise coming out and the flailing arms. I couldn't stop laughing all...

    Knocking sound from my EZee Torq

    See this related thread: Torq Motor Jammed It happened to me simply because I neglected to grease the gears - that and riding through swamps!

    E-Bike Of The Year 2009?

    Realising that it falls outside the criteria so would not count, I would like to vote for the 2007 Torq 1. This is based upon the grounds that I have cash waiting and have ridden all sort of other bikes but have yet to be drawn away from my trusty steed. It has helped me get fit, given me...

    Fooled in purchasing Wisper 905SE Sport old model

    This is the kind of attention to detail and level of customer service that Wisper seem to come up with time and time again. Really impressive, David.
