    all the CD bikes do that. Zero cogging, zero drag.

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    I've researched EN15194 certificates on popular bikes a couple of years ago. None was issued in the UK. Ergo nobody has bothered with applying for the throttle until now.

    Let's keep the throttle!

    the Woosh Gallego's throttle works like that too. You have to keep pedalling a little for the throttle to work.

    Let's keep the throttle!

    then why not go straight for the 'S' type approval? just change the battery on the BPM bikes for a 48V - cost is same as of now.

    Let's keep the throttle!

    I think if a dealer describes his bike as EN15194 compliant but the bike has a full throttle, the customer may later claim that's a wrong description. To make it compliant, the dealer has to reduce the speed on throttle to 6kph.

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    there seems to be a natural separation of the market. People who like bikes with throttle naturally buy Chinese bikes and people who like bikes with torque sensor buy German CD bikes. Perhaps people who buy bikes with hub motors would rather have a throttle than a torque sensor. As an example...

    New battery - Have I been conned?

    There are plenty of good quality batteries from vendors advertising on this forum. Woosh, Eclipse, Cyclezee, Kudos, Panda, Cyclotricity etc. I usually buy from bmsbattery.com if I can't find what I want. Bmsbattery's price is fair, quality is average.

    New battery - Have I been conned?

    any battery will have a label stating its voltage and capacity, even if it does not have the information about the factory that assembles it. If yours doesn't then it's not good. Like the label on this one: The label may be on the underside of the battery.
