April 13, 201412 yr I'm just winding down after the first day. I've taken a few photos, but I'm not sure how to post them from my phone, and they would use up my data allowance anyway, so I'll post them when I get back. There obviously some exciting looking bikes, but nothing 5hat really gets my juices going. Crank drives are popping up everywhere. There's one with "MPF" marking on the front that looks very interesting (Bosch like) and a couple similar to tje 8fun one plus the ones that were here last year from Ananda, Bofelli and others. A xouple of publicity girls latched on to us. They wanted to know about the impressions we have of the Chinese suppliers. In return, they acted as our translators all day and took us out for our evening meal. They were quite pretty too. I hope tomorrow to spend some time with 8Fun, so if anyone has any questions, ask, and I'll see if I can get answers. After the show tomorrow we're going to party with Kudos Dave. Should be fun.
April 13, 201412 yr ... After the show tomorrow we're going to party with Kudos Dave. Should be fun. dinner and drink with emperor Palpatine and the Court of Shanghai? what's not to like?
April 13, 201412 yr Happy to hear you are having a great time, d8veh! Questions I would ask to 8fun (or in general, to "anybody"): - Are there going to be hub motors with controller inside? - Are there going to be 2-speed Xiongda-style motors? - Are they going to provide 48V "250W" motors for the European market? And the most important of all: - Batteries? Edited April 13, 201412 yr by Arbol
April 13, 201412 yr Hello,I wanna know if there is antyhing legal " 250w" with more hill climbing coming
April 14, 201412 yr Could you ask them about UK spares and the availability 52T chainwheel for the BBS01/2 motor.
April 14, 201412 yr could you find any small bottle batteries? long legged and slim, you know the shape we all like!
April 14, 201412 yr I've seen somw very long very thin bottle batteries and also some that look like scaled-down 2/3 size ones, but you can't get so many cells in them. I think maybe 30.
April 18, 201412 yr Some random photos from the trip: A typical factory worker's bike - parked outside the Oxygen factory. Note the shackle lock to stop people nicking it. Normally, there'd be a whole row of bikes like that outside the factories. It really is typical. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140412_130628_zps978ce392.jpg Just the job for our roads http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140413_095842_zps3bd85f1c.jpg Definitely not for me http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140414_112319_zps118cc690.jpg We took our breakfast from this one a few times. The pancakes were really scrumptious, but we daren't ask what was in them. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140414_175001_zps9a3f2640.jpg http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140414_175006_zps12030f71.jpg When visiting China, you might be presented with something like this to eat. Politeness says you can't refuse. It's always bbest not to look too hard at the food,nor ask what it is. Just swallow and smile! http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/Random%20Photos/20140415_183531_zpsb1ba8c31.jpg
April 18, 201412 yr Some other random photos: No cyclists or motorcyclists use lights at night-time. You can see them weaving their way through busy junctions. Not surprisingly, many get spattered. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/other%20stuff/20140413_212116_zpsfb73cf78.jpg The police atthe show arrived on their electric vehicles:: http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/other%20stuff/20140416_114546_zpsa3a79f8c.jpg The normal sized bottle batteries and half-sized ones: http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/other%20stuff/20140415_165942_zpse1adbe5b.jpg This battery case was printed on a 3-D printer. The quality was excellent - just like a moulded one. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/Shanghai%20Bike%20Show%202014/other%20stuff/20140415_165036_zpsa2b0ac72.jpg
