this is what on-bike will have to do, and keep up the level of customer service. Good luck to them but it could take 2 or 3 years. I wouldn't have bought a Wisper in 2007/08 due to issues with wheels but these seem to have been sorted out - also 50 cycles were plagued with low stock levels and...

Ezee are good bikes but the free market can be very unfair! I've seen loads of good and innovative products in the high tech field fail in the market through bad luck as much as any other problems. Maybe on-bike can recover their image...

The issues with support and reliability were precisely why I got the Wisper instead of the Ezee - particularly as I don't own a car so transporting the bike to the other side of the country wasn't an option! Plus there was so much uncertainty about who the actual UK agents for Ezee were, who to...

My geography of Northern areas isn't so good so I may have got the wrong location, but if not this is a page of links to the Council and various other local cycling organisations it sounds like this pavement is being used by a number of other cyclists anyway and there would be a good argument...

carefully :rolleyes: this is because you are not really supposed to be there :rolleyes: ... that said, a commonsense approach would be for the cyclists to be on the part of the pavement nearest the road.. it might also be possible with a bit of local knowledge/exploration to vary your route...

or a large badger deciding to run into your path :eek:

this doesn't surprise me - I think it also has a lot to do with the Dutch practice of carrying a lot of cargo on bikes as well. last night I was reading the website of a Dutch chap who collects radio equipment including both domestic and professional/military valve radios, most of them he...

you're probaby better off just getting a entire 26" wheel bike to fit it to (the OP is selling one but it depends on your height whether it would be right frame size) I ride 700c wheeled bikes when unpowered but the power compensates for the "slower" smaller wheel...

Unfortunately I think there is another elephant in the room linked to exactly what you say in your second paragraph. I expect many of the tech enthusiasts/engineers who run the British e-bike companies are understandably loath to admit this, but in all cases their businesses depend on securing...

HI Frankie.. The current English market for e-bikes is growing, but skewed towards the higher end of the price range. Where there is a market gap is for a affordable (< £1000 e-bike but with local dealers/access to customer service and spares) - whilst having appeal to younger people. Younger...

at one time wasn't one of the plus points of the Synergie Mistral the low cost of replacement batteries? :rolleyes: Even a "cannier Scot" from Alien (Jim or Bob) says on the website they won't sell batteries on their own to those without Alien bikes or kits as people buyng the batteries to use...

David from Wisper actually mentioned this, but would it be possible to make the numbers add up? Say if he built a factory in Felixstowe it would be ideal as the parts could be taken straight off the containers and assembled - but are there enough young workers in Britain who are willing to learn...

According to some old chaps I know who worked for the Post Office and BT, the Post Office were also able to override a lot of the driving test rules/requirements well into the 1970s, this was apparently done to cope with a large demand for telephone services. they also seemed to have their own...

they are supposed to be, but you get 8mph and faster being ridden on pavements. I think some are actually being derestricted as I once passed one on my push bike at 15mph in Reading (this was before I got my ebikes) and I had to put some effort into overtaking it!

people a decade or two your senior are already crashing mobility scooters in some number, leading to serious and even fatal injuries to themselves and other pedestrians (often from the same age group). Suffolk Constabulary have actually got active investigations running on fatal RTC's caused by...

I don't think there is anything to misinterpret in NRG's postings at all (although I do know what a MOSFET is :rolleyes: and its purpose in a ebike controller) and I feel it is a shame when people hold back "bad news" out of a misplaced sense of loyalty. IMO better to tell the bad news, and if...

This is exactly the case in Suffolk. although ETS sell e-bikes in Cambridge they go for the higher end of the market and are only open 3 days a week - plus as we both must have learned originally coming from London, East Anglia is a very large place in comparison and Cambridge is many miles away...

I've spoken to people in IBD's and heard mixed views about e-bikes in general. Some of the more "mainstream" shops aren't against them, but they are a lot of extra work to maintain (they they have to justify the cost to the customer) and the shop workers find that manufactures aren't as...

yes, the good bike lanes everywhere its a misconception like how people think the Netherlands is all about tolerated drugs and hookers when this is really only a part of Amsterdam which many normal Dutch people are quite embarrased and irritated by (leading to some unfortunate political...

as an aside, if you use the ancient English or current Oriental definition of a myriad thats both gramatically and mathematically correct :D
