I agree that for the market to grow, it's got to be taken up by the Cycle Shop network and the nework cannot be bothered with retailing £1,000 e-bikes. However, if you look at the bulk of their sub £400 mountain bikes, many can support light weight e-kits, sold as add-on to their customers aged...

I think sub £1000 bikes are what's enlarged the market in recent years. As I was listening to the LBS shop owner on the Radio 4 program, I came to the conclusion that for our market to expand, we need to have LBSs like him selling not 6 but 50-100 e-bikes a year. How? not many would want to buy...

I am puzzled by the low UK sales figure of 30,000 e-bikes annually - I see more and more e-bikes everyday over the last 3 years I've been riding one. It used to be one a day in 2011, now it's more like 3 a day.

most manufacturers have de facto disregarded the ridiculous 250W limit on their top end bikes. ETRA may be a warning for the e-bike trade in 2014. The pedelecs database has 335 models, the overall market may have many more, possibly as many as 1,000 models competing for 30,000 annual sales...

http://pedelecs.co.uk/buy/find-an-electric-bike/ I found two faults: 1) Advanced search with motor position: 'Centre / Crank drive' returns no result. 2) set price range: 0- £2000 with slider The search engine shows bikes without prices at the top of the list. This penalises bikes with prices.

The new site is great. But on the home page, I'd like the 'Forum discussions' to be renamed 'Latest forum posts' and moved above the 'Latest Events' on the right sidebar. The contents of 'Latest Events' are rarely changed, it should not be given such prime position.

that will be the Low Fell Cycles shop in Gateshead Low Fell Cycles | Bikes | Bike Accessories | Bike Servicing and Repairs

for many years, I was puzzled about how the banks managed to create apparently limitless amount of money/wealth, I mean commercial banks, not sovereign banks. Then one day, I watched Michael Douglas in Wall Street. Politicians may lie but all bankers do is cheat. And yet, I have zero cash in the...

cwah, are you taking the Dahon to London?

after the Berlin wall came down, we all thought that would be the end of communism. However, China shows that their brand of communism can be particularly stable.

this is a well known fact:

rent a shed near where you live to keep the bike at night or when you are in Paris.

you need to rent a bike shed, about £3/week. http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/100007/housing/836/information_on_council_garages_and_store_sheds

the only solution is Boris bike. You cannot leave any bike in the street over night. It will be dismantled. My daughter left a £50 bike chained to a lamp post. On the second night, the bike vanished, just the lock remained.

it's a very neat implementation of a ratcheting CVT: Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think crank drive is much more efficient than hub drive on smaller motors. If you have a 500W hub motor, both systems can do 20-25mph, the advantage of crank drive disappears. At 750W, a crank drive will have to run at 100+ RPM, not many can pedal that fast, a hub motor is definitively more...

uk population: 1963: 53.65M, 2013: 63.23 and the graph shows clear acceleration in the last 3 years. In the same time, uk income per capita drops by 25% in comparision with the EU28. Clearly, immigration from poorer regions of the EU puts enormously unequal pressure on the low skilled natives...

d8veh's arm is mounted on the opposite side to cwah's - neither should slip. PS do you mean 160mm instead of 140?

Germany has coalition goverments as the norm - a big factor that reduces reliance on buying votes from welfare dependents. Migration from economically weaker EU regions causes unfair competion on low skill employment, pushing native low skill workers toward benefits. Look at the changes in the...
