Neither of those look very much like a normal bike. This site has links to many bikes available in the UK and a few searches will give you all the information you asked for at the beginning. Plenty of bikes around, torque sensor, speed sensor, crank drive, front and rear wheel hub drive. Take...

But pedal cycles don't either. And pedelecs are supposed to be electrically assisted bicycles.

To be honest I don't really understand why some able bodied people are so keen on throttles. I Had one on my first bike but apart from hill starts and quick getaways across traffic I didn't use it at all; and as long as the PAS is set up for instant power at a push of a pedal and is not set to...

All the UK legal Impulse models give tapering assist up to 17.3 mph and then cut out.

You're not really compering like with like there though. Your wife's old Kalkhoff is probably a Panasonic and they are much less powerful than the original Impulse units which came in in 2012. The Impulse 11 is more powerful again and will go up quite steep hills with little effort. I was...

I always bump threads if I'm selling something. Some people selling hifi on sites I go to go overboard and bump several times a day. But a gentle reminder every couple of days will keep it near the top and isn't against the rules is it?

So effectivly the many suppliers of pedelecs in this country with throttles will have to stop fitting them? Now the law is going to be brought into line with the rest of the EU and there is no ambiguity anymore they will have no choice presumably. None of the sellers of these bikes who post...

I was looking at the link that d6veh posted at the top of the page. I though you were referring to those as well.

I think you're wrong. Dutch cyclists on those bikes would have kittens mixing it with the traffic in central London. It isn't so much their attitudes that is different it's the attitudes of the drivers, who unlike Dutch drivers don't want them on the road at all. Proper traffic segregation as...

At a quick look they say they are rated for 500 charge cycles. But the genuine ones are good for 1100.

They have to be on fast bikes and dressed for it to try to keep up with and mix with the traffic. The Dutch riders wouldn't last a morning in central London. It's all about the different cycling infrastructure. Or in one case lack of.

If you live on flattish ground I think 80 miles is possible with the 17ah Kalkhoff battery. When conditioning I run mine to system shut down in 48 miles at the maximum setting, and going as fast as I can. I have the 2013 Impulse 1 with the Sport software upgrade and that's over very hilly...

It depends on what kind of bike it is and how you want to ride it. Speaking only of bikes meant for tarmac. Competition and training bike frames have shrunk in recent decades, and the old advice no longer applies when tall riders squeeze onto small frames. But as long as they can get the...

They seem to have pissed off the wrong customer here.

Actually it's been pointed out by some here including me I must confess, that with clarity the law might start to be enforced. As it is it's a minefield that the police would rather not get into. Particularly since a police force which was keen to prosecute under the current law was stopped and...

In the piece he says that some of the new cycleway is not as wide as those in other northern cities but they made it work nevertheless. Seville has many wide roads but it has an old part with narrower roads too. There are many parts of London where the roads are quite wide enough to fit in...

Interesting piece here about how Saville has increased cycling rates in the city by eleven times in a short time by creating a safe cycling infrastructure from scratch. It's been said that cycling countries are mainly cycling countries because they have a tradition and history of utility...

Best check the yougov website. My first guess is that what you would be doing would be like putting a different engine in a car or bike so no need for further testing. But having said that I think they have tightened up the laws there and you might need to take it to a testing station to have it...

I only did it to amuse because I know it teases.

If it was me I would go and ride a couple. Some are very nice with good spec parts and ride beautifully, and some are not so nice to ride. Otherwise it's a bit like saying you want a car and not test driving a couple of models which seem to fit the bill before you choose between them.
