As a customer, I'd much rather that bad news was discussed out in the open than covered up. Coming from the IT industry there is too much of a culture of problem denial and burying bad news and disputes which is thankfully comparatively absent in e-bikes. I do appreciate it might affect John...

I've seen a similar increase in Ipswich as well (and we don't even have that many e-bike dealers here, at least for the more upmarket brands).

I passed one of these things some years ago in Reading (I was on my pushbike then), the old codger riding it was on the pavement. I remember having to pedal hard to overtake it, and despite having a LCD speed display on my bike (calibrated against a GPS unit) I was still in disbelief that I had...

careless and dangerous cycling and riding on the pavement has been an offence on the statute book since bicycles were invented. In the 1980s in SE England coppers did enforce it, and in my town they still do. The real issue is some parts of our country have such a high violent crime level that...

best wishes flecc, looking forward to hearing you are recovering and back on your bike.. (BTW some hospitals now have internet access, I'm fairly sure David from Wisper posted from one when he had to attend hospital a while back!)

I've seen the aftermath of a few low speed collisions between young cyclists in my town. In these cases they have got away with no more than hurt pride, or maybe a few scrapes, but if it was a collision against someone like an elderly pedestrian the outcome might not have been so good. Bicycle...

This a public forum which anyone can read including those in authority. David is merely protecting his brand image in what will become an increasingly competitive market, and my own experience as a Civil Servant a few years ago was that commercial rivals have no problem with "grassing" up their...

here are some more articles there are also perfectly legal (by our standards) e-bikes in MY, not sure if its cultural reasons but the Malays (who are Muslim) seem to prefer these ones to the fast Chinese bike (there is at least one Malay company making them) although both cultural groups are...

I was going to comment on this but forgot.. My extended family are from Malaysia. There are a lot of Chinese people there (my Dad was Chinese and was born only 200km away from where Wai Wong Ching grew up). The Chinese equivalent of a gary boy or chav is an "Ah Beng" (I am accused of being one...

The Dutch sources mentioned two kinds of batteries, from 2006-2008 and 2008 onwards. Also that the first number of the frame number is equal to the year in which the Gazelle was made..

My 2009 905SE City has now had 4888 miles on it since I got it in September 2009, and is still performing well with just basic maintenance/replacement of drivetrain components. I normally ride 14 miles to work and back every day and charge the battery every evening when I get home, after...

not all 905SE City bikes have front suspension, only the 905SE City S (slightly more expensive) Mine does not. However if it is a City it is also missing the rack - and is liable to be a pre-2009 model as it has the green button - it looks like parts of this bike have already been stripped and...

fair enough.. I'm lucky that I can work flexible hours and often from home so can wait for deliveries or have stuff delivered to work. Round here there is (rather surprisingly) a great lack of e-bike dealers (nearest are in Cambridge other than one 20 miles away in Leiston which does a very...

how come there's such a long lead time? I got my 905 from e-bikes direct the next day (although it was in the crate rather than fully assembled like they apparently offer now), although looking on there just now I notice the "free next day delivery" is absent from the 706 entry though this might...

I don't know the exact level of French traffic enforcement, but I would have thought provided your bikes are not vastly overpowered (beyond 20mph without pedalling), and that you obey traffic laws and ride sensibly the authorities there would be extremely unlikely to even take notice...

I own a Salisbury (the blokes version of the Windsor) and still ride it for shorter journey when I want something a bit less powerful than the Wisper and not to have to be so paranoid about theft (as it doesn't look as flash). TBH the Infineum was a missed opportunity for them, it has taken so...

I'm about the same height and the 905 frame is just right for me (in fact I tend to have the seatpost raised quite high so it must be OK for shorter people)

Europe is a big place with varying climate - people in the "colder" bits of Europe (the Teutonic and Scandinavian countries) are generally taller, whilst those from the hotter nations tend to be shorter. You get the same thing in Asia, its a fallacy that all Chinese are short, but this...

This is precisely what they appear to have done in NL, although I'm as yet unsure how much public sector subsidy is involved. Bear in mind I struggle with delving into Council type documents and procedures in English, so it will take me longer to unearth this sort of info in Dutch. Although...
