Indalo was right to question why Germany with its high labour rates can build bikes but we can't any longer in the UK,excepting specialist niche products. One of the big problems in the UK are our business rates. When I started in business some 40 years ago, rates were always considered 30% of...

Names intentionally left out,to protect the guilty. The Kudos team did a show on mainland Europe. Opposite us was a stand of a big volume e-bike supplier. It looked like they had a massive range of bikes but in reality it was a step through frame not unlike my Kudos Liberty bike,with lots of...

I moved this post to a new thread for I felt it got lost inside the BEBA survey and I realise how important throttles are to some people. Can I ask a few questions about the usage of throttles on these bikes. I assume that the requirement of the throttle is to control power whilst just...

PETALING JAYA - Powerful electric bicycles have been classified as motorcycles under the newly amended Road Transport Act 1987. This has put their owners in a quandary because they will now have to register their vehicles and obtain a motorcycle licence if they want to continue riding them...

If you google 'how the Dutch got their cycle paths'>you tube Video. Its a very interesting video,between 1971 and 2010 there was an increase of 75% in cycle ownership but child cycle deaths fell from 400 plus in 1971 to 14 in 2010. Perhaps someone could point the link please. Dave Kudoscycles

Eddie,there you go,the home page of the Grace 'German' website shows the 'German' Grace e-bikes from the Puxi side of the river in Shanghai. These Germans certainly know where to find quality!!!!!!! GRACE

I have had so many pm's about these bikes that it is easier to answer all questions in an open thread,the e mail system is so slow where I am that a pigeon would be quicker. All the bikes are brand new,never used for demo purposes. We are selling off the BH range because it does not sit...

Bicycle shows are good fun for a meeting point for the industry to gather and great for viewing the latest models but they do not allow customers to test ride the bikes in a normal environment. To most customers they need time to appreciate the all round characteristics of an e-bike,in...

The PPL and PRS organisations collect royalties from businesses who play their radio at work,on behalf of artists and composers. They receive royalties on the sale of the music and also from radio stations who play the music,I think that is fair business. But they also expect royalties from...

It may seem strange putting a posting on Eurobike 2013 when the 2012 show has only just finished. But,such is the popularity of this show and the scarcity of hotel beds in that area that I am advising pedelec members who intended to visit next year to book hotel now,many of the hotel in...
