the same could be said about recharging your bike with solar panel or braking regeneration. I guess if you stop the bike at a layby then run your generator then you can avoid this issue.

so if the bike has two 5AH batteries and a switch to alternate between them then a legal pedelec can be achieved?

then the obvious question is: what stops someone to add an ICE + inverter running on camping gaz cartridges? I'd hear you say: but that's not a pedelec. Then if someone puts the generator in his panier?

plausible but what stops someone nicking his H2 cartridges?

You are talking about the Eiger with NuVinci right?

warranty is an important issue, that's why a bike with similar specs as yours would cost £1100-£1200 in the shops. Bikes bought from shops enjoy a double warranty: from the shop + from the manufacturer. If one goes under, you can still rely on the other for service. A good, transferrable...

the Sales of Goods Act 1979 does not specify anything about warranty. Example: you buy a flight ticket etc. they don't come with warranty. Check with trading standard if you don't believe me. No registration = no warranty. Simples

Not entirely correct. Guarantee is essentially an insurance policy in situations where you cannot demonstrate that the bike is unfit for the purpose, eg wear and tear. Consumers are entitled to make a claim under EU Directive 1999/44/EC for faulty or misdescribed goods for a minimum of...

they are getting quite popular in France. I'd say 30% of the French e-bike shops have them on demo. They don't look showy the the bh, I expect they appeal to older generations.

pushing boundaries?

you don't have to take much risks, buy your bike in France. Consumer protection laws are so strict that dealers there take service seriously. Example: Agattu i8 HS, from 50Cycles: reduced from £2395 to £1995 buy in France: Euro 2,049 and there are plenty of e-bike shops in France selling...

hydraulic brakes for me, well worth the extra money.

perfect combination - and saving some weight. It has the potential of giving Bosch a serious headache. If only Shimano could shrink it down to the size of an orange.

more middlemen, that's what's wrong with this country. Does anyone get their hands dirty any more?

is it going to be this one? datasheet: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/download/file.php?id=116632&sid=43bc78ff0719eb674df49cd5a14ade42

for e-bikes to become more attractive to the traditional cyclists, you need to have bikes that look similar to their bikes, weigh only a little more and last as long as their bikes. Until you can shrink the battery to half their current size, pipe dream I think. Too many brands concentrate on...

might it have something to do with average rainfall?

thanks Martin for a clear and concise article on what to expect. I recommend all lurkers to read it. one remark though, we're all used to throw away so much, can't keep my bike for 15 years!

another poll idea: What have you bought? 1. Chinese 2. European 3. Kit 4. Second hand That would help with my research on total cost of ownership in comparison to public transports

good find! I am ordering one. I'll try to wire it to the brake sensor.
