Good point Flecc, It seems people selling S Pedelecs in the UK are doing so without proper insurance. (I would love to be proved wrong!) I guess in most cases it is perfectly innocent and they do not realise there is such an issue with these bikes. If things did go badly wrong, and the...

Good point David, I am sure that would be fine after the bike had been Type Approved. I will follow the idea up whilst looking into the whole subject of Type Approval. All the best David

Thanks Flecc, Following a little bit more research this afternoon, it seems insurance simply is not available for S Class bikes in the UK as they are not road legal here. Although it may be possible to claim on manufacturers insurance if the bike is made in Germany for instance. I imagine...

Thanks David, I will drop them a line, but they may not be too happy to assist. All the best David

Thanks Garry, This makes a massive amount of sense. We need to answer the question, where exactly is off road? I cant imagine that all the S class bikes currently being sold in the UK are completely uncovered regarding third party, public liability and product liability insurance, but...

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me? We are considering bringing S pedelecs into the UK, specifically the 45kph Grace MX S class for off road trail use only. We seem however to be hitting a brick wall whilst trying to obtain third party and product liability insurance on speed...

Electric Bike Events 2013 update 6 If anyone has any events they would like to add please feel free, I will try and keep this post current by adding any new events or updating exhibitor lists and reposting as I am told about them. Please add details here or email me at dmiall@me.com Thanks...

Hi Goryl, good luck with the sale, the bike looks good! I hope you have recovered from the accident? I can confirm that as long as the service was done recently by ETS we will honor the remainder of the warranty. All the best David

Hi Geezee. The Easy is £2,899 UK spec, which includes all the trimmings including mudguards! The 2013 MX is £3,299 with 2013 11Ah Bosch system, again UK spec includes Busch & Muller lighting etc. All the best David

Could well be Rob, I have only tried one on a flat concrete surface so can`t really tell what it will be like off road. I have a dummy bike without battery and loom, I was pleasantly surprised how well it rode as a non powered bike. I will let you know how it goes when powered with the...

Hi Jim, sorry couldn't afford the mudguards! :o Also no fork suspension, looking forward to seeing how comfortable it is! All the best David

Sorry to be so blatantly pushing the 48V Grace Easy at the moment, but I really think it's a good looking, understated, city bike. I am lucky enough to be getting a demo bike delivered to me next week, the Red Dot Design award winner 2012. All the best, David

Thanks Alan, yes the MX mountain bike is driven through the NuVinci CVT, we are still considering whether or not to offer the speed version as it is illegal to use on the public roads in the UK. Fully loaded though the 2013 11Ah Bosch 500W version will retail for about £3,300. Grace...

Hi Geezee Sorry no, our Wisper range are the only bikes we sell with throttles. The Grace bikes are very much European specs. All the best David

I meant Nicolai, Kalle Nicolai, if I could spell I would be dangerous! :confused:

Congratulations on your 1000th post Dave! All the best David

I love Jefferson Airplane! Now where is that CD? D

I agree, I would most certainly imagine that the Kalkhoff bikes will have Type Approval in Germany which would be valid in any EU country, but this would be worth checking. However I don't understand how S class pedalecs could pass EN15194 as the motor is over 250W rated, and the top speed is...

Thanks David, The new Nicholi bike is simply a road version of the Grace MX also designed by Nicholi, we hope to have this and the full suspension versions on the market in 2014. And of course there is the Easy! All the best David

Hi David, this is an area that we are currently working on, however my understanding is that the bike would need to be Type Approved before it could be registered. If and when the model had been TAd then, in my opinion only, as long as the rider met the moped regs there would not be a issue...
