Hi Tex Welcome to the Forum! Look out for Guim who will be coming into Sydney in the Winter on the Australian leg of his Electric Bike World Tour. EBWT - Electric Bycicle World Tour All the best David

Hi Patrick These would be Electric Bikes rather than Pedelecs or EPACs. All the best David

Absolutely Dan! I have spent a lot of time researching all over Europe and yes I am positive, ok maybe not 99% which is a figure of speech, but definitely over 90%. I failed however to consider China which of course is a different matter, in my experience only about 50/60% pedal there...

Welcome Mark Hi Mark Fantastic to see you here, it's great to have another BEBA member contributing, don't be a stranger! All the best David

Guims Bike Hi Alex and Tony Tony is correct, Guim's bike us currently a Custom job built for the rigours of such a trip. We utilised the 905 motor (Bafang) and Gears (Shimano Alivio) all other components were upgraded. We were so delighted with the look and ride we decided to create a...

That is exactly what we will end up with, the throttle will not be lost. It will work independently up to 6kph and then only whilst the pedals are turning up to 25kph. The truth is that 99% of people that ride electric bikes pedal! All the best David

Throttle Apparently the consideration is that if the bike has a throttle it is not a bicycle and therefore cannot be used on a cycle path. Please do not misunderstand, we at BEBA want to keep the throttle but in doing so we believe we would could create more problems than we solve...

Tree Hugger report World Tour Link to a Tree Hugger report on the Electric Bike World tour. The Electric Bicycle World Tour and What The World Looks Like from an E-Bike (video) : TreeHugger All the best David

With you there Tim. There is a new class of helmet under consideration for the new class of bike it is very similar to a cycle helmet but more robust. The thought of riding a pedelec with a full MC crash helmet is dreadful. All the best David

Throttle Hi Dan BEBA would of course prefer throttles to be kept on electric bikes. Our problem is that there is a move to ban electric vehicles with throttles from cycle paths and believe that would cause the industry big problems. We will have at least a year to make the changes to...

Hi Scott, transparency costs nothing that's why I am free and easy with it! The £50 was just for fun. I would be happy to show an image of the Panasonic batteries, taking £50 of you as well would be sublime! :D All the best David

Frustrating Sorry Harry, yes it is a bit of a pain but hopefully we will have them with dealers in 6 days now. All the best David

Hi Nick Yes Elmsworth will look after you. All the best David

UM I have spoken to Mark from UM, he will post later today. Regards David

Hi Harry the 906's are docking tomorrow morning, we will have them in our warehouse on Monday / Tuesday. Best regards David

Ooops Scott, I owe you an apology we are not using the Panasonic Cells I quoted earlier in the 24V battery. :o We are using the Panasonic CGR-B/T46SE(CGR18650CG) cell. :) The ones quoted were specified for tests on the new kit and 1006. Do you really want a photo? Are you happy to...

I think you must have misread my earlier post, your answers are there. I will check on the cell code, I have quoted the cell we are testing on the larger bikes and all 36V models of the 806. No one is knocking your cells, don't get so defensive! :D All the best David

Hi Scott Wisper 806 batteries utilise Panasonic cells, I have told you which ones, what's the problem? Are you suggesting I am not being honest? David

Hi Richard, you will find the Panasonic cells take a little more conditioning than the Li Po cells in your 905 however when they have reached their optimum performance you will achieve our advertised 22 miles, don't forget the battery is 216Wh much smaller than the 504Wh battery in the 905. Our...

Hi Scott, mainly because I specified the use of the Panasonic CGR18650CG 36V 2250mAh cell, and have been to the PortaPower (HK) Ltd (Yiklik) in Shenzhen and seen them being made. You are badly mistaken if you think that Panasonic cells are only used on bikes assembled in Germany. I would...
