    Where do you think is the best way of battery mounting?

    Eddie...I decided not to have the slide in type battery behind the seatpost on most Kudos bikes because I disliked the way it extended the wheelbase,on some bikes unless carefully designed I think it looks like the battery has been included as an afterthought,maybe that is the case if the...

    German e-bike lighting laws.

    Shouldn't the current E4 road show be targeted at customers not dealers

    The group of E4 e-bike suppliers who are publicised elsewhere on this forum is specifically aimed at bike dealers who may be interested in stocking e-bikes. My experience to date in this industry is that there is already a surfeit of bike shops who want to sell e-bikes,the main problem is...

    The ranges claimed by some e-bike sellers are now verging on the ridiculous.

At a...

    Would it be possible to change the rider v motor power ratio on a crank drive system?

    Flecc....you seem to understand precisely how the pedal sensor system operates....perhaps you could advise why nobody has invented a pedal sensor/crank drive set up where it is possible to change the rider input-motor input ratio by manual overide....in other words if the pedal sensor detects...
