Apologies,the website of our primary London dealer,namely the London Electric Bike Company of Hampton Wick has crashed 4 times this week due to a number of cyber attacks. It's obviously a competitor who is envious of the success of that dealer-I wonder who it might be? The LEBC server provider...

I have a theory what could have happened to this lost Malaysian plane. Recently there was a hi-jacking when the pilot on a Somalian airline decided to seek political asylum. He waited until the captain went to the toilet,then locked the door from the cabin to the flight deck,stopping the captain...

Kudos Tempo Our latest arrival, the Kudos Tempo. We realised that there is a need for a smaller bike. Mainly ladies but also a small guy who would find the bike useful. Using 24" wheels, short height seat tube and an adjustable handlebar stem makes this bike very easy to mount and dismount...

90% of the forum traffic is under the section 'electric bicycles',so as traders that is where we would wish to place our new products/events announcements/meets. However if we place such announcements in that section we get moved to the 'wilderness'-look at the poor viewing numbers of the...

Wikipedia definition...A pedelec is a bicycle where the rider's pedalling is assisted by a small electric motor; thus they are a type of low-powered e-bike. However, unlike some other types of e-bikes, pedelecs are classified as conventional bicycles in many countries by road authorities rather...

Has any members any thoughts about buying/building a new e-bike in 2014? Some thought starters- Would it be hub or crank drive? Would it be mountain/trekking or commuter style bike? Would it be German supply or asian supply? What sort of money is a reasonable spend? Any other thoughts...

What am I missing.....If we have a 10Ah battery and a 2 amp charger,it takes 5 hours to recharge.....If we have 2x5Ah batteries and 2x2 amp charger,we can recharge in 2.5 hours....If we continue,why can't we have cells or at least a group of cells that have an inbuilt individual charger and put...

Barry Lee World Hot Rod Champion tries a Kudos Secret bike at the recent Classic Car Show at the NEC. Barry was very impressed, he thought it would make a good paddock transport around the circuits. Barry and I go back 40 years in the motorsport world. Anyone who supported Hot Rod racing in...

We are loaning £16 billion from the Chinese to build a new nuclear power station under the control and profit share of EDF Energy (French). We are having to do this because of signing up to the Kyoto agreement that force us to close our old coal power stations. But the Chinese are building coal...

I am amused by some of the 'swash buckling rebel without a cause' attitudes by some members of the forum....I suspect the average age is probably 55,imagine what this forum would be like if it was popular with 15 year olds on 40mph e-bikes!!! I have this image of some 60 year old guy hurtling...

All this talk about illegal ebikes and swiss upping the power made me look further into these power ebikes and I found the KTM eGnition....1200 watts,180Nm torque,30mph easily,very rapid acceleration. KTM say they are only going to make 88 units,price about $10,000....if you google it there are...

What in the European Parliament is still a much debated topic, has already been decided for in Switzerland. The Swiss Federal Council has set new rules for electric bicycles that allow for 500 Watt motors instead of the current 250 Watt. This spring, after much consultation, the Swiss...

I noticed that BMW are now selling an ebike. They had a BMW style stand at the NEC-for that read big and expensive! The bike looked very clean and smart but I didn't get a chance to ask more about it. I heard someone say that the price was £3.5k. Did anyone look at it and have a view? KudosDave
