    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Maybe some mileage in that, our next three containers are on the water now in component form so the next batch of folders will be built in Kent. Let's see how it goes. It takes a lot of organising and we have taken on two new bike builder employees.

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    As you say Tony, every cloud does have a silver lining. We have looked at manufacturing in Portugal and there doesn't seem to be any benefit. What we are considering, even if we win the case, is to start making bikes here in Kent. This means they will be about £100 retail more expensive. The...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    I agree, circumvention is the next battle, although this may be more tricky with many EBMA members buying components from China, and Bosch motor components being made in China. You are right though, they will certainly go for motor wheels as there is a definite move to limit motor choices to...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    That's all this is about, there is no dumping. The EMBA are trying to protect their market so they can cartel like, control the market and raise the price of eBikes. The Collective are today legally challenging the registration of Chinese built electric bikes. I expect to hear how it goes later...

    New Wisper 905SE owner

    Hi Jon, welcome to Pedelecs, it's good to hear from you. We sell many bikes every day and rarely get to talk to the people who are actually using our bikes. David is absolutely correct in what he says, you will get a good thirty miles from your bike if you are pedaling etc. We have to be very...

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I would be surprised if it could Joe.

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    .....or we could could use a tried and tested torque sensor that sits in the BB and is operated by pressure applied to the cranks through pedals. It's not only in hills that we need more power it's for acceleration too. A torque sensor is simple and effective. I understand it's not perfect for...

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I know the feeling! At 63, with one new hip and one that needs replacing! I ride using the torque sensor settings on my 705Torque and when I need more help I simply twist the throttle which overrides the torque settings. The best of all worlds. All the best, David

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I agree re the reasons we get so much more range from torque sensor bikes. I prefer the smoother delivery of power and enjoy the sensation of having powerful legs rather than the on or off feel of cadence sensor. Just my preference.

    Wisper eMTB sneak preview

    There is hardly any waste at all, over 800 individual prices of hand cut carbon sheet go into one of our frames, some very small indeed. Any carbon left goes to a carbon component maker. None gets dumped.

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I agree with everything you say Dave except one point. We have found our bikes with a torque sensor and exactly the same motor and battery will return considerably more range than the same bike with a cadence sensor only. Another point worth mentioning is our torque sensor bikes are superior...
