and it has been discussed here and reported by both Chinese and international media is that this phenomenon is really due to the Chinese not enforcing their own traffic rules for many years. Most other jurisdictions would put the Chinese "e-bikes" into the moped/small scooter category - in...

Ebike manufacturers don't have the power to buck the system other than via the proper channels. they are the ones who are going to get their shipments seized by Customs / Trading Standards or whoever if they don't comply to the rules whatever they are (as opposed to hobby builders where there is...

for the benefit of Mark, and indeed any e-bike company with staff across different sites, if you find someone who knows how to set up VOIP and Asterisk telephone systems and have reliable broadband at all sites (very important for this to all work) you can get telephone numbers galore and...

what exactly is Guim's bike? A 905, 906 or a custom build halfway bettween the two?

and (perhaps) pay a slightly higher call rate for the privilege of making a sales enquiry or getting the customers service they are entitled to? :mad: OK as a telecoms engineer I do know that not all 084x numbers are made for revenue sharing and some are genuinely used by small businesses for...

unfortunately this is the "beauty" of the Internet, a good review can overwhelm a company with sales! Over the years massive companies like DIY firm Screwfix and the "right-on" Co-Op Bank/Smile have been brought to their knees (stockrooms cleaned out, call centres overwhelmed, core business...

Who actually owns the company? (by that I don't even mean the directors but major shareholders as they call the shots) - I suppose though their own website says 80% of sales are outside the UK - (although not exactly where) maybe the money is across the pond and they just follow it it seems...

perhaps is this something BEBA should be taking up (as UM are a BEBA member?) Whilst they can't be expected to turn down a lucrative deal,by neglecting the British market they are turning good news into bad at least this side of the pond... Shutting down the UK telephone numbers (just tried...

perhaps then the sort of "club" you want to get on board shouldn't be a "racing" club but a local cycling campaign advocacy/group geared towards utility cyclists (most towns/cities have one of these, such as Cycle ipswich here or Colchester Cycling Campaign) - there was also a good one in...

If you bought a second hand racer or "proper" MTB which had had done a few thousand miles you could easily end up spending that amount in replacement components. indeed I just had a look on wiggle - there is a £765 wheelset on there, and a 10 speed cassette costing £114 :eek: - both of these...

in the long run that might be the case, but perhaps its worth considering that at present, the perceived "lock-in" and profit made on replacement batteries is factored into the profitability of e-bike companies when they are seeking investment, and its that which funds the R & D and customer...

Biofuels are already making an adverse impact in Malaysia where jungle/rain forests are being cut down..

this is the exact problem I found with them in Cambridge! That said I think the issue is they are a very lean company staff-wise and share the staff between Cambridge, Oxford and London. They now claim to be contactable at Cambridge by phone during the whole week - perhaps try calling them on...

but you will then just get people at the fitter end of the scale (cycling clubs being full of 'em) and higher ranges which the less fit people will then claim are exaggerated! I would say that a 905SE with 14 AH battery is capable of at least 30 miles on full power and throttle with a bigger...

this is precisely why I got mine from EBD. The electric bike sales shop in Cambridge had limited opening hours (only half a week) and its a bloody long way away from Ipswich. (The Cambridge lot have apparently extended their phone answering hours but I haven't spoken to them for ages). Another...

not cheap. Thorn are a well respected brand of specialist British touring cycles (linked to SJ cycles) and the cheapest one of that model is over £2000...

TBH I think it is always going to be the late 20s/early 30s who become the youngest of e-bikers, at least until utility cycling in Britain becomes more popular. Many younger children and youths are going to want to prove their physical capabilities especially as part of growing up, which is IMO...

true, but the younger people I know are becoming more socially aware and responsible and this coupled with rising petrol prices and the economic depression and the end of "constant growth" is making more of them think about e-bikes... some of my Scots friends are thinking of buying Alien bikes...

reminds me of the journey I take to visit my friends in the country, complete with mud and rubbish dropped from tractors :D

Actually it might not be such a bad idea to get at least one extinguisher if I am working with high current DC, just in case... seriously though to clarify things I was thinking more about PCB design, software and affordable kit for dealing with surface mount devices - last time I was dealing...
