totally fair enough, even with 50 different models we know we can't meet everyones needs. Hopefully the range will grow again next year and we might have something more to your taste.

and... my personal favourite model in their range :) http://www.fullycharged.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=166&search=mountain-e-bike

yes, thats generally the case. Now if a KTM frame cracks, or something serious, we don't make the dealer pay for shipped back to Austria, our couriers collect it. So no cost for the dealer. I think Bosch do something similar because the cost of sending a battery back to Germany is pretty...

it depends.... on what the problem is. Madison look after all Shimano warranty in the UK, the bike brands themselves don't handle it and in 99% of cases don't see the products. In most cases with Shimano parts Madison don't cover shipping in warranty. Which is why we had to pay to ship it to...

It wasn't actually more economical for us. A shimano hub is supposed to go back to the dealer, and they ship to Madison for fixing. Because it came to us, we shipped it, to Madison - which cost us courier work and time. Had it been dealt with by the dealer in the correct manner we'd not even...

I'm happy to take onboard criticism and learn from it, but in this case I think we really are actually helping you so I think this dig is a little unfair. Please don't confuse your problems. It's not down to the brand of bike, it's because you didn't buy from a store or pay full price. Had you...

Thats exactly the way Bosch are used to dealing I think. They expect dealers to have spares in stock and then order to replace those spares. They are shocked that some UK dealers expect them to hold all their spares for them, with the shop holding nothing. We're going to try to hold some...

Hi David... I had a sit down with Bosch at EuroBike to discuss the problems with the delays and how its effect all UK dealers / brands, which isn't good for anyone. They told me they had no plans for a UK agent, as they handle all other countries from Germany with no problems. So I left the...

here, is just one I can find. Flecc, lumps 250w bikes in with higher power ones. It very much is a very new and different problem, under 250w, no issues for us, or the public using the bikes. Over 250w and your driving an illegal vehicle on the roads and should the continued growth of...

:) think what you like. I asked a couple of perfectly relevant and interesting questions. The fact that no one chose to answer them... is an answer in itself.

Ok, whilst this thread has been bumbling along (and actually for some time before I posted this little test to see if anyone responded). We have been thinking about what to do, and how to handle this. So now in an effort to end this for everyone... he's what we know. Yes, we do Hoppy, that...

as I keep trying to say... its not prosecution we're talking about. But yes thanks I'll speak to David and see if we can get some details of the important documents to reassure the powers that be.

we have that.... but we're advised that, whilst it is not illegal to sell them, if we do start selling them - it might not cover us.

yes but you're driving a car that is considered safe to be on UK roads, its only your speed thats the problem bit. Honda haven't sold you something that can't be used on the road. Its a subtle but important difference. Imagine riding your riding your eBike on a canal path s class or dongled...

you might have missed this link. https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-for-manufacturers supplying bikes that aren't considered safe to use on the roads. (and I mean safe for the rider AND other road users) has large implications that some seem not to understand, and I'm trying to establish why...

totally not worth the paper its written on. All that does is show that you know you're doing something wrong.

no it didn't, you're too cynical ;) but I don't blame you. We know the readers on here can't be swayed, there are two very distinct groups and us asking about liability and dongles isn't going to stop individuals using them .... We're thinking of selling the S pedelecs. It was started in the...

There are only 6 people reading it ;) and all of you already have eBikes, or a strong idea about the type of bike you'll by next... this really isn't the place to worry about mass marketing. and if me asking about the liability issues of selling (NOT RIDING) bikes that are over the limits...

I'm not getting involved in the debate about the legality, because you both present good cases. However I have to say, the the guidance we've had from actual legal professionals sides with whatt OldTom is suggesting. But it is a grey area until 2016 when things should hopefully clear up. All...

Well it's not really bad news, it's just news. The only differenceis a bit if time. Good dealers have stock of spares, we will just be another option for dealers to get bits from a bit quicker than Germany.Won't make a huge amount of differenceto end level users really
