Thanks Dave, As I am watching it on the BBC it has only just started so please don't give anything away! Thanks for your kind comments regarding the Police, the bikes have been very successful and as you say reliable. This is only one of many police forces that we are working with. I...

Love it, Flecc! Yes Jim, being a Scot too my partner Douglas would be really miffed! All the best David :)

Thanks Jim! All the best David:)

Sorry Lynda, but I am very much a Lotus man! ;) Although I would like to see Lewis win today. All the best David :)

Thanks, Lynda. I genuinely do listen to the voice of the forum and am prepared to make changes if I think I am wrong, although I do sound a bit sycophantic in some of my posts when I read them back..... they are not meant in that way. :o The Jury is now out on the use of the flag in our...

Thanks for the demonstration Dave, I think this is one of those more barbed comments! No offense taken. All the best David :)

I absolutely agree Lynda, it is easy to get upset especially when under fire! It is sometimes difficult not to start firing off nasty posts but I think that in general people here are trying to help despite the occasional barbed comment. I have been a participant of the forum for years and...

Now that's clever! :) All the best David I meant Dave of course, but you too Lynda! ;)

Thanks Robert that makes sense, so it may have been worth "flagging up" that we do have a British connection in being a British firm. All the best David

Thanks Flecc, that is the way I imagined all sensible consumers would react, I didn't ever think we would gain any real commercial advantage simply by sticking the flag on the frame. I am not that clever! The best bit of marketing upside to the decision is probably this thread! :) All the...

Just spent a little time Googling the use of the Union Flag or Jack apparently both are OK now on sea or land. I Couldn't find any guidance one way or another. We used the flag to differentiate ourselves from those who simply buy bikes from China and stamp it with a Logo. We are proud to...

Go for it! All the best David ;)

So Dave, to make this clear, you are saying that you would be prepared to deceive your customers for extra revenue? That is something I would never do, hence very clearly identifying the origin of my bikes, in all my literature, on my web pages and on the bikes. I am sure you don't mean...

If you are completely assembling in the UK Hatti, and you have control of the production, then you should make that clear to your customers, I think this is a massively important point. I also believe that as long as you finish the frame in the UK you can describe your bike as Made in Britain...

Sorry Hatti, by "I mentioned that we planned to assemble crank drive bikes from around next October in Cambridge" I thought you meant your crank drive bikes were going to be assembled in Cambridge. Best regards David

Good point NRG, we will certainly explore the possibility. This is a superb solution and would hopefully help those here that are having problems with our logo. Thanks for very sensible solution. All the best David

Brilliant news Hatti. If the bikes are assembled in Britain of course you should shout about it! We desperately need to promote the UK and bring manufacturing back from China. I am very jealous! Best regards David

No Dave, they quite clearly state the bikes are made in China and Taiwan respectively, the point is both companies are British. All the best David

Sorry Dave, I simply do not agree with you, our bikes are very clearly marked with their country of origin, the Union Flag is there to show we are a British company. Electric Bikes For Sale | Folding Electric Bikes | Battery Powered Bikes | Lincolnshire, UKBATRIBIKE Electric Bicycles |...

Hi Again Dave, thanks for your input! Raleigh bikes (made and owned by a German business) still use the Union Flag or did last year because they are proud of their British history. I understand that both German and French people still have confidence in businesses run by the British. Maybe...
