It seems BEBA's point of view regarding the use of a throttle and higher powered EPAcs has been taken seriously which is very satisfying. We still are not home and dry mainly due to the BAGB for example making a case for throttles to be outlawed due to their installation "blurring the lines...

The Department for Transport has released the findings from its Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) Consultation. This consultation started in January 2010 and sought views on whether to amend the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) Regulations 1983 to simplify the legislation and...

Thanks again to you all, we are now writing a response to the BAGB's letter to Bike Biz and others re the new proposals and the comments here have been exceedingly useful. It is fantastic to get the views of the people who actually use pedalecs rather than us in the industry all trying to...

Have you not seen me recently! :eek:

216 yesterday with 596 more on the way over the next month or two! :D All the best David

Thanks Roy, I have sent you a PM.

Hi Big Roy! How many have you fitted roughly? All the best David

I haven't heard anything, it would be fun to go again especially as we missed last year. There is a good chance that there will also be a BEBA event within the London Green Fair in the summer. The event is to be held in Regent's Park London on the weekend of 9th and 10th of June. BEBA members...

Thanks Andrew! And again sorry to have hijacked your thread! All the best David

Sorry Vectra, no idea where Vectrix came from, and yes vilified may be a bit strong! Just tired and emotional today! I am more than a little embarrassed about the delayed launch of DaaHub, you caught a nerve. All I can say is it will be worth the wait. Thanks for giving me the opportunity...

That is also my understanding, Segway however is very much heavier than 25kg so would still need to be type approved whereas the YikeBike penny farthing without pedals would be be excluded from type approval and therefore allowed. The good news is those who like to use throttle on their...

Sorry Andrew, very off thread here, I will shut up!! All the best David

Vectrix, I would never assume to take moral high ground over you! I was simply stating the facts and I am certain that you can appreciate how disappointing it is to be vilified for doing the right thing? The launch product was certainly very solid, not at all vapourous! Unfortunately a couple...

Hi Jerry and Flecc One of the big problems with kits is exactly as Jerry has mentioned. If they are built to be installed by the end user, everything needs to be perfect in form and function. If a kit is misfitted and subsequently does not work, who is responsible for fixing the problem...

You are totally mistaken if you think we are sophisticated enough to warm the market Vectra!! We simply found there were some problems, so we pulled DaaHub off the shelves at considerable expense. We didn't think it was moral to let you guys or anyone else to spend a not inconsiderable...

Thanks Tony and Eddie for your support, I am certain that Mr Vectra would not encourage us or anyone else to sell to the public a product that may still have some gremlins lurking! All the best David

I absolutely agree Vectra. We have certainly not done well in building confidence, however we would rather lose face now than to make a product available which in our opinion needs to be improved. What I can guaranty however is that when DaaHub is eventually available it will be free of bugs...

It is good Tony, but unfortunately we all are having to work without the assistance of organisations such as the BAGB who have recently written to Norman Baker to oppose all the changes. They seemingly want electric bicycles in general to as low powered as possible, without obvious advantages...

Thanks Eddie We are currently testing the final prototype DaaHub and hope to have them on the market later this year. Our problem was containing the power so it would not spin the front wheel, or prompt the controller to cut power to the motor, regognising all that power as a fault. We put...

The most important results of the IMCO vote are as follows: 1. Pedelecs with assistance up to 25 km/h would be excluded from the type-approval without specification of a motor output limit. As a result, all 25 km/h pedelecs irrespective of their motor output would become subject to the...
