    El's Angels!

    Whilst visiting our Norwegian distributer in Oslo last month, whilst having lunch, he told me about a Group of ladies in a village called Leksvick who on the 7th May 2010 formed an electric biking club and called it El Angels. I thought the forum would enjoy! There are now 9 members all...

    I've done it all wrong! Do I start again?

    And me Davanti! At 5'6" it is fine for me but also good for much taller people. The wiring and fuse holders were "beefed" up about 18 months ago on all our bikes to avoid the possibility of melt down problems at times when the high current is being demanded. We have recently gone to 1.8mm...

    Do members think it is possible to produce a decent e bike for £1k

    We must have been lucky. We have seven year old Wispers on the road using original LiPo batteries. Of course the voltage is down against when they were bought new but they are still going strong. We also sell surprisingly few new batteries which brings me to the conclusion that the high end...

    I've done it all wrong! Do I start again?

    Sorry to hear that Marny, I do feel that there is a market for a 26" Alpino, the do have fantastic range and are very powerful (certified to EN15194), the new motors and almost silent too. Maybe for 2013. All the best David P.S. If anyone is having problems with the saddle height and...

    Update on the Atmosphere Electric Bike Festival - Bristol June 10th

    Yes the AVE was another cracker Eddie! The event was very informal with everyone working together, what pleased and encouraged me the most was the wide variety of likes and dislikes confirming we all have a place in a growing market. As demand grows we will all do well.

    Update on the Atmosphere Electric Bike Festival - Bristol June 10th

    I didn't realise that you had voted for it Flecc. The thing I liked about it was the absolutely seamless power delivery. Riding this bike simply made me feel as if I was 6 stone lighter and had fit young legs! It didn't "feel" like an electric bike at all without "surge" that I have...

    Do members think it is possible to produce a decent e bike for £1k

    Wow, absolutely delighted to have sparked of such an interesting thread! :) Decent (or Descent!:rolleyes:) is subjective and was the wrong word to use, (Not sure I actually used it, but that's journalists for you!). Having tried so many bikes and indeed produced the £999.00 Wisper Eco...

    BEBA "come and try" Day in Regent's Park London

    The London Electric Bike Festival Regent's Park (Copied from hub or crank thread) What a splendid weekend! As I had hoped, the event was absolutely packed, there were many times when all my bikes we out on trial. I don't know how many test rides were taken but over the weekend we...

    Update on the Atmosphere Electric Bike Festival - Bristol June 10th

    Congratulations Andrew, excellent job! We were lucky again in London Eddie, another great day maybe not quite as busy as on Saturday. Tried the Storck Raddar, wow! For anyone wanting a non throttle bike with a superb torque sensor system, and has the cash of course, they simply have to try...

    Are electric bikes just for lazy people?

    Thanks Don and Indalo, it would be great to see you today, reading the post again, I do seem to be a little over excited! However.... it was great, also good to see the teams from 50 Cycles, Green Zebra, Batribike, EBCO, Storck Radar (With the amazing £4000.00 Cosworth!) and Hero Eco...

    The London Electric Bike Festival Regent's Park What a splendid day! As I had hoped, absolutely packed, there were many times when all my bikes we out on trial. I don't know how many test rides were taken but it was certainly hundreds, it seems London is ready for electric bikes but the...

    Are electric bikes just for lazy people?

    Thanks NRG! You are absolutely correct. The guys at ETA are 100% pro electric bikes but like us all keep getting the same comment from the "e-bike ignorant". They asked me if I would state the case for electric bikes and I obliged, they simply used the controversial title to encourage...

    Are electric bikes just for lazy people?

    Article on ETA Web site. Are electric bikes just for lazy people? | ETA Trust Electric bikes make a mockery of cycling, so many people think. Made for lazy people who can’t handle a proper bike. But David Miall of Wisper argues this isn’t true, and that electric bikes could be the answer to...
