The poll at http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/13148-beba-uk-survey-results-executive-summary.html was filled in by 355 Pedelec users, it worked well IMO. What kind of question would you ask? All the best David

Please can I assure everyone that BEBA absolutely has the interests of consumers, dealers and distributors at heart. We are in this not only because we love electric bikes but also we are trying hard to make a living. Giving consumers good, dependable bikes that are legal in the UK is our top...

Hi Shemozzle In a nutshell as Jeremy says very few bikes sold in the UK are within the letter of the law as it stands. The main reason being that 99% of the bikes sold in the UK have motors rated at 250W. The Wisper bikes currently being used by both Sussex and City of London police are...

Hi Shemozzle, I would dearly like to be of assistance, please would you email me at dmiall@me.com and we can have a chat about your individual case. Kind regards David

Thanks Neptune! If the general consensus is for an inexpensive membership for consumers we will certainly look at it. I personally think it would work. Also great idea re the £50 membership for smaller retailers! Thanks for that, as the membership sec. I will certainly suggest it to Mark...

You are probably right Jeremy, an electric bike club for consumers is probably not such a great idea. It was just a thought! :) All the best David

All good points Jeremy. It was felt that weight limits were not necessary as it would be self regulating so to save red tape it was agreed we should not add to EN15194 in this respect. As you say we are working towards a simple tidy up rather than a messy solution. Regarding BEBA, we...

At last, he floodgates really do seem to be opening in the UK too! All the best David

I absolutely agree Shemozzle. BEBA have been working hard with the DfT and all concerned parties such as TRL, CTC and BAGB to bring much needed clarity to the market. Although BEBA membership is steadily growing with some of the bigger names showing interest in coming on board in the new...

Hi Pharisee, it reads to me as if there is slight a problem with the controller, if you contact the support lads and talk the issue through I am sure they will be able to resolve the the intermittent 1 second cut in power. As I mentioned earlier we changed from bullet connectors to the single...

Alastair from Atmosphere (the new BEBA retailer coordinator) who is organising the Electric Bike World Championship in Bristol has just informed me that two more exhibitors have just signed up. Byocycles and Conv-E I will update the list next week. All the best and at the risk of...

Hiya Riverboots, thanks very much for your valuable input. Not dealing directly with the public we really appreciate any constructive criticism. So thanks for your time. Many of the points were cleared up on our 2012 models; 1. On delivery, the plastic hub which receives all the wires...

Excellent, well done Dave, keep up the good work! I will put them on the list. All the best David
