Don't let David Miall see the Alpha. Looks like an almost direct copy of a Wisper to me, though obviously it will fall a long way short on quality.Not bad specs?

You're not joking - the whole site is full of typos. Nought out of ten for presentation therefore.Interesting that they all are listed at 29Kg - not much proof reading going on there!
A truly hideous creation.and just look at the models they were selling!
Did you scroll across and see the full horror of the choices on the right though.A truly hideous creation.
That is exquisitely awful, isn't it? It reminds me of that Russian copy of a pre-war BMW motorbike called (in Europe) the Ural, which was a somewhat unfortunate choice of name, as of course it immediately became known universally as the 'Urinal'.Did you scroll across and see the full horror of the choices on the right though.
The Euro Tourer has the doubtful distinction of 22" rims, giving very little choice of tyres.

Haha - so my assessment of the intended market was pretty well spot on, then!The Euro Tourer and the others sell really well in the "shopper" market where their features are appreciated. They are single geared very low and impossible to pedal much above 8 mph, and the motors only drive to 12 mph, but they climb happily as a result without help from the rider.
As Thompson himself said when the pedal gearing was criticised, "Our customers won't pedal".
Cyclists they ain't, they just want to get to and from the shops without hassle or need for a driving licence.

It certainly was!Haha - so my assessment of the intended market was pretty well spot on, then!
Rog.
Or could it have been his honest selling technique? I think you missed this wonderful bit of prose from his site "The freedom and economy of a bicycle with all the effort"The best feature of Thompson's original method of selling e-bikes is that they are available on the spot at impulse buy prices, well within almost any credit card. I'm sure that's why he was able to sell so many in only five local areas, but I bet he doesn't do anything like as well online now he's saturated his store areas.
.
From what we've already said, their intended market would probably not for the most part be Internet aware in any case.Yes, the website is a bit messy, probably far from being his strength where running the stores obviously is.
At their prices I don't suppose they want to spend on good professional web design help.

That looks like fun, it wouldn't only be the police who'd kick up a stink.However, have you seen the prototype for the Euro Tourer EROPs (Extended Range Operations)?
might do well in LiverpoolRog, you are of course correct. Who could possibly buy from a company called Leck-E-bike?!?!?
