    Bad News

    I believe the biggest problem we have here is entering a 'you' and 'us' mentality, when in fact aspirations from both sides are to increase cycling. This truly isn't a healthy relationship and won't allow either party to achieve its goals. I've said it before and I'll say it again to Mr...

    Is enough being done to bring new consumers to e-bikes?

    Hi Dave, I believe that annual sales are still increasing, but with new players joining the market the established ones are losing some market share and not growing at the same rate as the market overall. Its very hard to put a number to the market size but we expect this year to have been...

    Fantastic posts here all. This is a great platform for distributors to learn where there target audience is and help to grow the whole industry for all. So I, and I am sure my competitors, are very grateful for your input and we hope to bring budding new e-bike riders to the industry!

    2WD with studded tyres, now waiting for the snow to test it!

    Thanks Andy! I know what you mean, cars were sliding everywhere round here this morning and I just gracefully flew by. Although when on my feet walking the dog I was almost on my bum more than my feet!

    Why every man and his dog shouldn't get into the e-bike game to make a quick buck!

    Scatty, I hope that comment isn't aimed at UM? In the UK we were very lean on spending with a very supportive team. In fact, we are still supporting customers now and also supporting Halfords customers (the distribution agreement ceased 6 months ago), and until we entered administration we...

    Why every man and his dog shouldn't get into the e-bike game to make a quick buck!

    Yep- everyone has to start somewhere and as they mean to go on. Many have. As long as there are long term goals and they plan to continue in the market. Its when there is no long term strategy and the focus is to buy cheap, sell cheap and then onto the next opportunity

    Almost joined the 50mph club, 49.28!

    Hi Tangent, I keep an eye on it, only been out on it a few times. I did fall off at about 20 after my front end washed out on a leaf, that hurt! But thankfully the bike is ok as I had clippy pedals and so I broke its fall!! I don't think it hit the tarmac! Hope Giant get you a new frame soon!
