Me too! After they finish in Europe they are off to the Canada to start their journey to the botom of Chile near Cape Horn another 15,000km!

Hi Rog, delighted to read the Wisper is still going so well! I haven't thought about the old cases, I will find out if we can load with the new cells for you. All the best David

Regarding the electric bike riders of Shenzhen flouting the law, the current regs for electric bikes in Shenzhen are 20kph, 240W, throttle only, so the majority of electric bike riders are riding illegally. Dick our China manager believes this move was tactical and electric bikes will be seen...

Hi Andrew, the crash helmet we have been told would simply need to be a top pf the range cycle helmet to a yet unknown EN standard, insurance would be very low because any third party damage caused by such a bike would in the majority of cases be very light. The bike we are currently working on...

Ho Barrie 60km is about right on full power, that was a long ride! If you drop down to standard power (level 3) you should get nearer to 100km. Re the loose contact, if the problem persists please let me know. All the best David

Many thanks Tony! Best regards David

Hi Tony, I am obviously (and rather embarrassingly :confused:) "to close to the trees" at the moment! I don't know the low powered moped reg, I will look it up now, but if you have any pointers I would be very grateful. Many thanks Mr Guru!!! Best regards David

I agree Steady, a 700W motor would drive a low speed EPAC (15mph) up most hills with most people on them but keep the speed limit to 15.5mph. We could use the same basic model as the High Speed EPAC capable of 30 mph, of course the HSE would need to be licensed and the rider would need a full...

Hi z0mb13e I am so pleased that you have had good service from your Wisper. Yes we still give the rebate on old batteries, although most people seem to want to keep them as a spare. Our batteries have moved on a fair deal over the last 24 months and the new 37V 16Ah are much more powerful...

Nice!!! All the best David :)

Thanks Scarrabri If you search EBWT Wisper in Vimeo or YouTube you will find all 20 or so videos. All the best David

No Dave, there is no Metro in shenzhen yet. Dick my opo in Shenzhen thinks it's a temporary measure so they can start enforcing the law when they are allowed back on the road. I remember about five years ago there were thousands of stinky, noisy mopeds on the roads of Shanghai. I was told...

Hi David I agree with you 100% it is not the electric bikes causing the problems it is people flouting the law and riding ilegal machines illegally! There is a place for more powerful and faster electric bikes but they must be considered and treated in law as mopeds or motorbikes and not...

I spoke to the guys this morning and they were amazed at the hopelessness in the eyes of people in Athens. people camped out in public green spaces and a massive number of closed shops in the city centre. What surprised me about their description of Athens was the fact that they had just...

After several meetings with the DfT over the last 12 months my understanding of the law is as follows; Throttles are currently legal in UK and Europe on EPACs. In UK up to 25kph and in Europe up to 6kph. In Europe the throttle may still work from 6 to 25kph as long as the pedals are simply...

Hi David I absolutely understand your point. The reason I beleive the outright ban on electric bikes absurd has been well demonstrated in you post. The main problem is not the bikes but the way they are ridden. No one in China seems to take highway regulations seriously, this is the...

Hi Barrie, 20 miles on one ride? Fantastic especially as you haven't ridden for a while. Thanks for the updates. The new 16Ah battery will serve you well. All the best David

Hi Mark, as no doubt realised, this was not a commercial venture just a bit of fun, however............... :rolleyes: All the best David :cool:

It’s the ideal accessory for cyclists who demand the height of luxury on their camping trips – a fully-equipped, single-berth caravan designed to be towed by a bicycle. http://www.eta.co.uk/files/images/Bicycle%20caravan.jpg The caravan boasts a full-sized single bed, 19” television...

You are right Tony, it was cigarette packs, I remember the frog and rude man, but I didn't ever make a tank! Now what did we use lollipop sticks for...... ah yes, we used to weave them into early frisbys! Happy days!
