Hi Wicky, To answer your question re existing S Class, bikes, as long as they conform to the new regs I would imagine they will be fine. I will ask the question though. Enforcement would be almost impossible, unless of course there is a serious accident, where the bike would be taken for...

Thats a really good point Shemozzle, currently we are simply pushing for the the same regs as in Germany to be introduced here, which is practically no cost. We do need to consider letting other road users know that what looks like a bicycle could be closing in on them at 45kph even up hill...

Hi Dave, you are correct, they will not be allowed anywhere a moped cant go so Cycle-paths and Bridle ways will probably be out. De restricted 250W bikes are surely non registered S class bikes, there is no lower limit only a 500W max, interestingly the Bosch S class is only 350W. IMO the big...

Thanks Rob! I was getting a bit worried, however if I stand on my new hip I am now a Goliath 5'7" again!! :D All the best David

Crazy isn't it! Same with my BMW X5! The problem is the insurers have very little knowledge of the risk on electric bikes. Premiums will no doubt stay high until underwriters have more data and the market becomes bigger and more competitive. For now it's the best we can do, at least it offers...

Thanks! I had already noticed a difference, I thought it was something to do with bedding in to the new socket, I would say these is currently 1" difference! I will check it out today. All the best, David

I will ask for clarification for you. All the best, David

Hi Shemozzle, I don't see why they shouldn't be, what makes you feel they are not included? All the best, David

Hi Eddie, the BEBA insurance is not set by BEBA. We simply researched the market, found what we considered to be the best value package available and in turn made it available to everyone, not only BEBA members. I agree bike insurance is high but the insurance companies set the premiums...

Hi David, recovering well from hip op thanks! Can't wait to get back on my bike. All the points you make have merit. It's a shame you are not a BEBA member, then you could be more a part of this whole process. We would welcome you! A couple of points. Re S class Pedelecs, like them or not...

All good Col, I am pleased you are happier. Sometimes it's better just to get the jobs done between a few of us, it's not we want to keep others out. Quite the contrary! Delighted you will be at the next meeting, we have a lot to discuss! All the best, David

Hi Trex, you are correct, along with Juicy and Hero, we do most of the work for the sake of the whole industry. We are currently working on other projects such as the speed Pedelec class. Trying to get if through ASAP, before someone is injured by one. There are a lot of illegal Pedelecs being...

Please give me a call anytime, I will explain all, we just can't go public at the moment. Even though there are only a few members who get involved working with the DfT etc, there is a lot going on. We are Woking to the remit given to us at the last meeting. Just had a full replacement hip...

Hi We are indeed involved, we were at the first consultation meeting and made the case for the throttle which is being adopted. For any association to be successful it needs members to attend meetings. There is a lot happening, it will be announced very soon.

You are absolutely correct Kirstin. There is currently no problem buying and using bikes with throttles in the UK. And when next year they are made illegal, as you say, grandfather rights will apply, so no worries about bikes with throttle bought before the law changes. All the best David

A real conundrum Flecc. Speed pedelecs are legal in many countries now but as usual we in the UK are way, way behind. The problem is of course now the police know what to look out for there will certainly be prosecutions. I was recently informed by a customer in Spain that the police there...

Speed Tuning Kits Threaten E-Bike Market Development 0248LAWS & REGULATIONS LONDON, UK – Currently the London police and officers from the UK Trading Standards Institute are checking UK dealers if they are selling speed tuning kits for e-bikes; or if they are selling de-restricted electric...

Hi Guys, the reason Wisper batteries last so long is because of the high quality not only of the battery but the charger too, they are perfectly matched. As long as Wisper batteries are looked after properly, basically never flatten the battery and leaving it in the shed for any time! They will...

Thanks Croxden, I will get back to you soonest. All the best David
