in moral terms yes, but if coppers are determined to bust people for a traffic violation (irrespective of the nature of the vehicle and the type of crime) they will find some reason to do so..

that may almost even be quite close to the truth as emergency service bikes are actually equpped with blue lights and sirens (such as the Eastamb first responder cycles seen in pedestrianised East Anglian towns..).

The most popular button of this nature is a stock item at Wuxing which could arguably used for all manner of purposes, especially with a culture of DIY e-bikes and customisation of existing models. Surely its going to be difficult to prove exactly what the button is used for and unless someone...

my 2009 905SE City made on 30/04/2009 has APSE levers and v-brakes. They seem good enough. I think David did mention some improvements being made to the v-brake models in 2008...

I would speak to him and/or check your conditions of employment. I say this as I was a young enthusiastic lad in a similar high-tech company about 10 years ago and they explicitly forbade you from speaking on a personal level about company stuff, everything had to go through the proper...

As a Powacycle owner I'd glad to see you on here, I thought it a shame that since the other official representative left this forum no one has taken over the role.. I take it that you are doing this with the full support and blessings of Wazz Mughal and the Powacycle sales/marketing / customer...

I think a combination of language/cultural barriers, and the admin costs of small shipments (especially dealing with customer queries caused by Customs/duty issues at both ends) simply make it unprofitable to deal with small order quantities.. if you ran a medium size business here but suddenly...

hmm - nice bit of viral marketing by the Grauniad as well? :rolleyes: Wisper works 905se city electric bike - www.GuardianEcostore.co.uk to be fair I've seen Wispers in the eco-store before this article (even last year) however there seems to be little mention of who the actual distributor is..

we get lycras round here as well but they are nearly always friendly, if they don't notice you its often simply because they are keeping close watch on the apallling roads to avoid potholes as with 700x 18 wheels they are sure to go flying if they aren't careful.

I've not cycled in the London area for years (even then it was around the Western outskirts rather than the centre) but I think its just a regional thing, with people in general being more aggressive/angry in SE England/London (even before the terrorism and continuing decline in global relations...

thankfully I'm a bit younger not yet had the health/stress problems and don't intend doing so, but I still find e-bikes to be a big bonus. That said my Dad did do all the bad things the older chaps on here went through - not alcoholism thiough, but he was dedicated to work, making money and...

i find that sometimes cultural stereotypes act in my favour - being of SE Asian ancestry many people have this sort of generic idea of "Oriental people" irrespective if they are from China / Japan / Malaysia / Singapore / Phillipines - much of which comes from the media, including the TV...

unfortunately not so simple. Lots of devices, with various incompatible protocols use the 2.4GHz band because by international agreement the modules do not require the same level of licensing other wireless comms equipment does. Even bluetooth stuff can be an absolute nightmare to get set up...

so the lamp is just a bog-standard LED taking a DC feed off the main battery, switched in alongside front light? I had mistakenly thought from its description it was actually using the light from the front lamp via fibre optics. In that case I'm sure I could build something similar from normal...

Doesn't something like 30% of the price of a Wisper 905 go to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs - half of this being import duty and the other half being VAT? Both my e-bikes and my normal bike are insured anyway via ETA (the lot in Surrey, not the Spanish paramilitary terrorist organisation)...

can any of the brainy folks on here suggest where to get the fibre optics and light guides from so you could light up the handlebar displays on a different kind of bike with another LED lamp?

I've had nothing of the sort, apart from one lad who initially (jokingly) thought it was lazy, but then I pointed out I regularly rode from Ipswich to Botesdale on both unpowered and e-bikes, and that it is uphill all the way from Stowmarket - most young people consider this sort of distance to...

where's the best place to get a 13g spoke wrench from? (all the ones I've seen at wiggle don't say if they are the right size)...

this might be a practice throughout the Asian nations, or maybe flat feet (like short sight) is more common in people from these nations. I remember my Dad complaining about flat feet (although he used to complain about all sorts of illnesses!) On a lighter note, I saw an amusing video of a...

I read the (English) versions of chinese news (to my shame, it seems that I will be reaching my 60 or 70s myself before I can read a local Chinese version :eek:) but to be fair in areas where e-bikes are permitted I'm not hearing of the cops hassling people for speeding on e-bikes or indeed...
