    Thanks! We had a really big guy on one at the London Ebike Day last year, he loved it. You can see me following him around the track, just in case! I have lost more than 6 stone sine then though! All the best David PS, it was great to meet you in Bristol, thanks for coming...

    Also should be said, fantastic to see so many BEBA members at the event and commenting here. This is the kind of support the industry has needed for years! Is this the tipping point for electric bikes in the UK? I think maybe it is! :o All the best David

    Bristol eBike Fest

    An absolutely brilliant day, I agree with Andrew, it was certainly in the top two of all the public events we have ever attended, massive interest in the bikes! The test course could have been slightly improved in respect of the one very tight turn. The hill was ample and the length of ride...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    Thanks Trex, I will look into that immediately. I think however the "final unloaders" or "consignees" refers to the end user. So "Mr Smith" who has just bought his shiny new electric bike of course take delivery. I am not certain it applies to an electric bike dealer though. I will get...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    'fraid so Dave! I believe we all have a duty to warn potential e-bike customers that there are dangerous batteries on the market. That they should demand to see UN38.3 certification before, or at the time of purchase. The customer can then make the decision whether to take the risk or not...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    Hi Trex, Yes we can send the bikes, or batteries now, anywhere in the world without needing a DGSA. I would however need a trained and certified member of staff to sign off such deliveries, in our out and use the correctly certified packaging. If however I was accepting a delivery of over...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    The problem is Dave, that there have been a lot of instances of cheap, uncertified batteries causing fires in Germany and now one fatality in China. This kind of publicity does absolutely nothing for the electric bicycle industry. I cant think of an electric bicycle producer or distributor who...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    We at BEBA have asked our DGSA to put a set of rules together that should be adhered to by any company handling lithium ion batteries and electric bicycles in particular. I think this sets out the rules and regulations succinctly and clearly. I have liaised with our DGSA to come up with the...

    Two years inside for supplying non UN38.3 batteries

    Hi Trex, I have put the question to the BEBA DGSA, this was his response. Companies that receive, unload, load or offer for transport, more than 333kgs of batteries* (in most cases less than 100 e-bike batteries), are required to appoint a DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor). This applies...
