that reminds me of the Kevin and Perry Go Large beach scene in the film thanks Jed

we need an electric bike university where all this stuff can be explained for those of us who struggle to understand what half is said in these forums thanks Jed

if we have an off-road setting (i.e 22mph) like on the Torq then I will be very interested thanks Jed

apparently there has just been a news report on the BBC about an unidentified flying object near Croydon thanks Jed

yes, come on guru Flecc spill the beans. we are getting impatient:D thanks Jed

parking a car on a double yellow line while nipping into the bank. . . . . . and then locking the car with the key still in the ignition :D thanks Jed

thanks Flecc, so for the most part it looks like we are back at square one then back to us to determine the range etc as best we can. thanks Jed

flecc, how many electric bike suppliers actually make the motors themselves? it seems to me that many parts we see on bikes over here that are made in china are used by lots of different companies. Are there companies there that just manufacture the motors and then the bike companies obviously buy them and fit to their bikes? Could we not go straight to them for the specs thanks Jed

hi flecc and stuart. it is ok my spirits are not dampened! I understand that unless we can get all the bikes together at the same place at the same time with the same rider in the same conditions it will never be truly scientific. I doubt pedelecs or A toB could manage that feat so in the absence of that kind of test i still think it is useful for the rest of us to at least do something. We all know that we'll never get the perfect answer but if we can build up a library of results then we can at least it will give newbies something to go on. If we record general weather conditions and rider weight then we can offset that against other results. If some bikes do better at pedelec mode then the test should be repeated with pedalling but perhaps the rider mustt keep as close to a certain speed as possible. i'm no expert but when choosing my bike that sort of thing would be very useful in my decision,. thanks Jed

is anyone going to try this out. I have a Torq and one day this week i am going to ride it around the village on throttle only. there is a route i have worked out where I won't have to stop and can whizz aorund the corners full speed plus it is all flat. Perhaps we can all try this and report back on the forum and see what averages we come up with obviously each bike is different. thanks Jed

is that the video where the guy and bike part company ? thanks Jed

any chance of some details on the changes you are making? will you be adding a off-road/turbo mode ala the Ezee bikes? thanks Jed

so who is up for this then? All we need to find is a local school running track which we can whizz about on. I think an incline test would be useful, there are a few bikes out there that could do it at least that way we have a definitive answer that everyone could rely upon. thanks Jed

yes it is nice to see another ebike company on the scene the more the merrier I say, at least for us riders anyway thanks Jed

will their be an off-road setting then? :D thanks Jed

can you fit the newer mugduards to an older torq ? I have the short ones which are not much cop in the wet. thanks Jed

Hi Ian I carry around 2 co2 cannisters in my rucksack, one for each wheel just in case! They are the ones that have the slimy stuff in it. I have not used one yet so fingers crossed i don't have to only a few quid from halfords thanks Jed

Hi Steve, That is pretty amazing as yesterday you said Yesterday 20th April 2007 I tested the Wisper 905e electric cycle on a trip into London So you've bought one today already and done 150 miles on it, i'mm impressed Methinks you are a troll thanks Jed

I saw some 'yewts' inspecting my bike (Torq) at the shops today. Luckily I got back to it in time as I think they we're seriously considering taking it! Need to wire it up to the mains where I leave it thanks Jed

Hi all, just noticed this in the news section - This is true. Diavelo was founded on the 10th of April 2006 by two Danes, Brian Hoehl and Lars Munksoe. Schwinn, have lept in and bought the rights to distribute the Diavelo under their own name in the US. Obviously European engineering is leading the world in this arena... at least in theory, I don't know anyone that has tried one yet. I found the Diavelo bike on the Powerscoots.co.uk website last year and was hoping to get one but it seems it'l now never arrive thanks Jed

Hi all, I ahve noticed that my left brake lever does not cut out the motor but the right one does. There is a lead connected to the brake lever on both so I am assuming both should work? thanks Jed

Hi all, What is the fastest speed you have achieved on your bike? Yesterday I managed to get 23 mph without pedalling on a flat road. Fastest ever was 34 mph while pedalling down a slight hill. I riding an Ezee Torq. thanks Jed

Hi all, does anybody know how much it costs to recharge a battery. I am commuting to work but I am chargingg the battery at home overnight. We are not on economy 7 or anything like that. I ride a Torq. thanks Jed

£666.79! Wow and I though my Arc was expensive! One thing I do like about my Arc is that the light can swivel. All in all it feels like a very solid light and will last me many years. thanks Jed

Congrats John, did you manage to find a new one ? thanks Jed
