TBH if you did the maths I doubt the actual proportion of deaths are much worse than the amount of young people (both drivers and passengers) killed in road traffic collisions in East Anglia. The US media are just looking for a story when the reality is its a minor domestic traffic law issue...

if the Chinese dude doesn't crash and is really doing 50 on a Singapore highway he will get in big trouble, limit is 25km/h thereand by law you're supposed to wear a helmet :D (not for normal push bikes) I was gonna put a link to the rules but it was from LTA (Singapore equivalent of VOSA) and...

he might just be the traffic warden, In Asia they are fond of uniforms like that for all sorts of officials :D The Chinese are very lucky at the moment as their e-bikes would all require CBT/helmet/license in this country, and when I asked my relatives in Malaysia they said e-bikes were either...

this is true on a pushbike - for excessive speed the charge is "wanton and furious driving" which dates back before the motor age, but I think the cops/CPS can only use this charge when a collision has occured. There are also charges of careless and dangerous cycling. I'd agree that with...

I think its "Never put the battery into water". I collect examples of Chinglish for preservation - ironically with my extended family I am also responsible in a small part for their demise - the best(worst?) examples get emailed to my Mum who is now a pre-school teacher in Malaysia, and...

similar icons to the Wisper.. extreme left position - unlocked from battery slide/carrier (the key is pushed in to move from this position) next one right - locked into battery carrier, power off extreme right one (red marking) locked into battery carrier, power on (the icon is a circular...

I do this and don't have any problems (apart from the occasional angry horn blast) but to be fair there are so many potholes here (which have also damaged a fair few peoples cars! that motorists are used to cyclists being further out in the road. That said I've seen motorists actually swing...

Don't Alien now make entire bikes as well which are also keenly priced? I think they've also expanded their customer service resources which is a good thing..

Its because Wisper are so responsive to customer suggestions and openly discussing both flaws and advantages of everything I decided to buy one of their bikes! I have worked in IT and electronic engineering in various roles for over 20 years and I have never seen this level of transparency and...

this is where I got my info from... Wisper 905 SE City if the offer really is 100 miles then thats impressive as it really looked "too good to be true". TBH as there were no East Anglian dealers I'd already planned to be "self-sufficient" with regard to assembly / servicing, after a...

as of 2010-01-22 22:50, your website currently says 100 miles! I actually came close to buying my 905 from yourselves but thought that as there were two ways of working out the distance (its <100 miles on the A12 but >100 miles using the more normal route of the M25) it wouldn't be cost...

I've only had one cycle nicked, from my garage in "affluent" Reading on the Reading/Oxfordshire border! Was more annoying as it wasn't expensive but friends had built that one specially for me. Since then all my bikes have been kept inside the house. I haven't had any issues on Sheffield stands...

A "torch bulb". Like this one, I think the new "euro-designator" for the fitting (which I had to look up) is P9 flanged...

At the moment I've got no less than 3 front lights on my Wisper. One Cateye EL-500, an Edinburgh Bicycle "revolution" 1W LED and also a converted Basta 1925 "dynamo" light (in fact being powered from a 6V 4Ah water bottle battery I had from another light set). This might seem like overkill but...

Still the case in prep schools and pre-prep schools into the 1980s (believe it or not I did briefly attend one of these. Boarding as well. It was like HMYOI with lessons instead of being in the cells..). Seemed to be a lot of PT of various kinds - which I was no good at then; ironically now in...

unfortunately I understand there was an incident with Lithium batteries in July 2001 (months before the terrorist incidents!) at a US airport where some were damaged/accidentlaly shorted and caught on fire - and this has led to every global airline beefing up its regulations. I recently saw a...

I was gonna say they gave President Obama two bikes because he's way taller than most South Chinese :rolleyes:, but if you read the article one is for Mr President and the other is for Steven Chu, the US Energy minister and as his name suggests a very prominent Asian American, so its also a way...

assuming this is successful (and it may be) how are they going to cope with the support / spares queries? Its apparent from posts here that Powacycle, a well known reputable manufacturer of e-bikes for some years appear to be struggling with regard to support resources following a rise in...
