Wilco Martin! Looks like a good day! All the best, David

Hi Hopper, There is no admission charge to most of them, however the following will I imagine involve a cost to the visitor; Eden Event Kent County Show The Cycle Show Birmingham All the best David

Absolutely agree Dave, it is tricky even with a fleet of demo bikes. I imagine there must be upwards now of 100 models available in the UK, no one dealer could possibly stock everything. All the best, David

Hi Cakey, Thanks for your post, it really is a very helpful point. Can I ask who you spoke to? We will try and arrange a demo bike for you to try out ASAP. The problem is our own demo bikes are out with the press at the moment, see next weeks Telegraph on Saturday for the first test...

Thanks Russ! All the best Davif

Russ has agreed to keep the list updated and sticky, it is not really commercial. I am simply trying to help the public understand exactly where and when EAPC events are to be held for all EAPC brands during 2013. If anyone wants to drop me a line to dmiall@me.com I will make sure the list is...

Well done Dave, a great initiative! We will try and come along to as many of your events as we can. Are they all on the events list? You have my sympathies re Shimano, it's tough getting supplies. All the best David

No worries here Rog! All the best David :)

Hi Allan, We would be very interested in becoming involved. Please would you send details to me at dmiall@me.com. Many thanks! David

Thanks Two bikes, very interesting. Love the name, brings to mind, Arthur "two sheds" Jackson of Monty Python fame. :)

Except of course if I want our customers, dealers and our business to be covered incase of a disaster. All the best, David

I understand Flecc, that we are able to sell the bikes perfectly legally. I am worried about the situation where a bike involved in the accident could be proven to be faulty and the cause of the accident. Of course we would refer back to the manufacturer, however the claim in the first instance...

Thanks Flecc, That of course is great for the injured third party. However I imagine the uninsured rider would have a huge problem judging by the advice on the MIB site for anyone wanting to claim under this cover. Before making the claim the third party must first; Make a formal...

Thanks Garry! All the best David

Thanks for the encouragement Hoppy! I think though that if the bikes were supplied with a throttle, they would simply be classed as electric mopeds. The S Class bikes in Germany don't tend to have throttles as far as I know. Al the best David

Hi Hoppy I am sorry but I don't know. As the Pro Connect bikes are covered in Germany by laws that do not apply here in the UK, I think they would need to be TAd for use in the UK. I agree, a 45kph pedelec machine would be brilliant, no throttle simply pedelec. We are being pushed by our...

Hi Hoppy, We could do but we would need Type Approval first. If we were to have each bike Type Approved before it was sold this would add hugely to the cost of the bike. I am currently working on Electric Bike and EAPC TA and once we know the cost of TA for the model we will consider...

Thanks everyone for your input. It seems then, from the posts so far, that unfortunately, it is probably impossible to get an S Class pedelec insured in the UK, for public, third party or product liability. I must admit to being disappointed, I was very much looking forward to making the...

Thanks Rog, If the rider managed to get RTA insurance I would worry that if there was a fault with the bike which was proved to have caused the accident, the rider's insurers would look to bike the supplier to reclaim their loss. There will be an incident involving an S Pedelec sooner or...

I understand that it is legal to sell S Class bikes in the UK. My worry is more regarding insurance, and what would happen if a claim was made against a rider involved in an accident in which a third party had been injured. If the bike was found subsequently found to be faulty in some way...
