6 weeks on the forum and you've changed the name, made ill informed posts, managed to pee off half the far more intelligent members and now become the voice of reason.

Get a life.......

How about changing the name to " The leading Flud approved Electric Bike Community" then membership can be limited to those who have presented their bike to Flud for inspection.

Great idea...
Like I,ve said before powerful ebikes are fine, yes Government probably should let us legally ride S Pedelecs or whatever. But fact is at moment they don't, so just think folk should stop telling everybody about doing 35 mph not pedalling, or giving build accounts of 1000w bikes...thats all I,m saying.
But your idea would be a logistical nightmare...I,m busy most days posting rubbish on here.

It's international just like this one. It's on the internet therefore it's global.

I'm a noob to e-bikes an this forum...always read your posts flud...dunno what your on about half the time....but you kick the dust off around here...keep it up.....got a lapp fs 500..with dongle...by the way...an love it.

Sadly I fear that would or could spell the end for e-mtb use in National Parks, on bridleways and at Sportive events. I realise that S Pedelcs and bikes fitted with dongles would require registration and wouldn't be allowed anyway, but no one is going to police it, so a ban would be the only option.
I also wonder if we are likely to see it happen anyway. All because of the likes of Paul Smith and co.


I see zero benefit to neither S Pedelecs or bikes fitted with dongles for off road use. They simply aren't needed.

 

[Paul smith]

They may not be needed eddie..but they are fun...an that's what it,s about...lifes too short

Indeed, the S class pedelec class was designed expressly for road use only and in the countries where it's permitted, they are usually banned from cyclepaths.

Having 45 kph assistance is of no practical use in off-road conditions anyway.

Yep I,m afraid you are right.
There is no way on earth National Parks will tolerate bikes capable of 20 mph plus on their tracks. They cant/ wont tell difference between them so it will be end of emtb...( not sure but think there is already s blanket 10mph limit, signs are appearing !)


Ranger was actually at point of stopping me going atound Lady Bower couple of weeks ago, but same bloke was moaning about black lab I was walking drinking out of reservoir !!!( seriously) Looked quite sheepish when I told him I exercise dogs for blind !!!

I just turned 53..an bombing about through forest trails...doing 20-30mph..with not a soul in sight...brings a huge grin to my face...so many grumps here....

If you read their intro/ rules for pedelecs you,ll notice a 20 mph limit..yes not a great deal but completely different.
They also have completely different attitude to "off road"..in that they have one...afraid ours went years ago...
So yes it might be international but relevant to uk...not really..

Where abouts Paul ?

Must agree I love doing same but I,m going somewhat slower...good day average 12 mph...
I don't want or need a dongle, I,d go half as far twice as quick and run out of battery as far as is mathematically possible away from car..ie half way around.
Besides dongle doesn't help climbing , its not really a climb if you can go over 15 mph even with power.
