I have been tracking this trend for a while and the snowball doesn't seem to be stopping. There is a troubling trend, insurance-driven, that is seeing major employers banning e-bikes from site. I won't go into how ill-informed and counterproductive it all is, I'm sure you all have thoughts on...

Afternoon all, Just a heads up, our e-bike demo day heads north for the very first time this Sunday. It will touch down at the Brownlee Centre in Leeds. Brands on the track will include: Giant Bicycles, women’s-specific bikes from Liv, ARCC, Dolan, Estarli, Jorvik Tricycles, Moustache, Ribble...

Some post European election positioning here for any member states that might have wanted to adjust vehicle regulation frameworks as is apparently expected. The EU industry has drilled down on what it sees as an e-bike and it's noteworthy that it's suggesting a new framework for multi-track...

A long read if anyone has time this grey afternoon. What started with a picture of a Tern next to a Cybertruck turned into an idea about researching the resources used to manufacture each and how capable each one is in reality for the same task. E-bike versus EV car battery resources

Hi all, Bit of a long read for you here, but one that I think will interest everyone. I've been conducting a bit of an investigation into the reality behind 'electric bike' fires and consistently found that reputable manufacturers have a near zero rate of instance, but are facing the brunt of...

Very likely you're all already the proud owners of an e-bike, but for anyone looking to add to the fleet in the South West, there's another Demo event next month in Bath at the Odd Down Track on September 29th. So far confirmed are Estarli, Benno Bikes, Tern Bicyles, Velo de Ville, Tenways...

A real rainy Friday afternoon downer here, I apologise. It's been on my radar for some time that major business groups were steadily halting employee e-bikes being on site (Canary Wharf, More London Group etc.) Now I've seen evidence that some landlords and their insurers have already enacted...

Hi All, Just an FYI, if you are in the market and wondering what to buy, there's a Demo Event at Lee Valley on April 28th with loads of brands going. All the info here: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/news/cycling-electric-demo-day-launches Mark

Hi All, I'm coming to the second edition of Cycling Electric and thought that it may very well be worth tapping in to the wealth of experience on here. My request is a simple enough one, i'm after testimonials and stories of how the electric bike has altered your transport habits over time, in...

Hi All, Been a while since I posted on here, but thought it worth circling back on the Cycling Electric Magazine project - it's now on shelves in WH Smith, supermarkets, newsagents etc. Coronavirus did its very best to cancel the product entirely, but it's now out there...

Morning all, Totally skipped my mind to pop this on here - just in case you've not yet seen Dennis Publishing is launching Cycling Electric - a new magazine and Lee Valley Velopark event (July 4th). For full clarity - i'm editing it, but hopefully okay to put on the radar here as an...

Coming like buses a bit here... Thought this may be of interest again to the forum. Bafang aren't messing about, expecting them to become a big challenger for OEM spec in the coming years alongside Bosch and others...

Hi All, Has been a while since i posted, but thought this one might be of interest. Took the time at Eurobike to corner the Bosch CEO and what he has to say about customer demographic and future electric bike growth is interesting...

Have been speaking with one of Rohloff's tech chaps this past week and he let me in on this little development. OEM spec at first and with Bosch drives to begin with, but with scope to go beyond that in future. Of interest to anyone with a Speedhub in their collection too as retrofitable...

I've been speaking with a chap in Switzerland who has begun the process of developing a wireless charge system for e-Bikes. Looks like it could be a sensible enough bet for the future of electric hire fleets: https://cyclingindustry.news/wireless-charging-for-electric-bikes-on-the-horizon/

Found Eurobike's decision to extend a hall to e-Mobility interesting. https://cyclingindustry.news/eurobike-to-open-hall-to-e-mobility-solutions/ Provided it's all done above board (steps are being taken to enable this for the masses on speed pedelecs), I'm leaning toward wondering whether the...
