I've just printed the manual and have been having a read through it. I must say, this is a fantastic piece of technology and very clever indeed. I think I have the basic gist of it, but will no doubt have plenty of questions when I come to installing it..which probably won't be until well into...

Thanks that's a good idea..I did suggest to Russell a while back that he might consider creating a dedicated forum for CycleCharge since it has been entirely funded and is run by volunteers from here, so is really a spin-off from Pedelecs and should stay here. I think he wanted to wait a while...

Does he reeally need to PAY to offer support? The guy is giving his time freely to help people use a product they purchased elsewhere...unless he's selling anything I don't see why he needs to register as a trade member here. For all we know, this account could be used by a support employee of...

Thanks Dave, I appreciate you saying that :) I just didn't want anyone to think I've been devious and planned to use CycleCharge all along as a business marketplace or something! I had no real plans to go into the e-bike business until last month when I started giving it some serious thought..

We're maintaining a static kml map file for CycleStreets of all our charge points at http://www.cyclecharge.org.uk/maps/directory.kml... and they can periodically suck this into their own map as CC "places of interest"... I'll probably code some page for them which indicates when it's been...

On a different note... I'm looking at expanding my business and probably going into the e-bike business next year.. I have no plans to sell bikes at this stage, and will probably sell kits and parts. I don't see this as creating any conflict of interest with CycleCharge..there won't be any...

Thanks flecc that sounds like a good approach and better than sending volunteers to all those points that can't provide us with coordinates. I think we'll encourage points to provide the accurate coordinates then as part of the registration process but where they can't we'll use the postcode and...

Charge Point map coordinates accuracy I've had another query from a member yesterday concerning charge points not appearing accurately enough on the map. This particular charge point was displayed 5 miles away from the actual location. This is an issue that has come up a few times and the...

Hi all, I've started this new dedicated thread for all things CycleCharge related, so we can keep things tidier on the forum. Instead of creating different threads all the time, we can just post everything here in one place. Seems more sensible!

So it is! I should wear my glasses :) I have the Mercury model.

I guess we should start a new thread, this title is confusing some people!! Edit: I've created a new dedicated thread for CycleCharge.

Thanks Elaine. The problem with big chains is that they're harder to get onboard because of the health and safety aspects. Usually larger businesses have stricter procedures in place and it's a lot more complicated than approaching smaller independent businesses, many of whom are under threat...

I have no clue! It doesn't appear to state on it or on the invoice which model it is..what's the difference?

Can someone tell me which manual I'm supposed to be reading, I just received the latest version and I'm confused by this "Mars" and "Mercury" stuff..

I'm slightly puzzled by it too, no instructions!! Geez the price we paid you'd think they could just print a few pages eh. Ah well, it's all online I guess, I'll have to stop being lazy and find the PDFs and print them out. I'm sure it's not as complicated as it looks once you know which wires...

Contacting prospective charge points by e-mail I've been compiling a list of potential new charge points to contact from some unlikely places! I found a site called BigBarn which lists ethical local food businesses and is like an Amazon-style marketplace for them. There's loads of regional...

That's a great post Wurly and I like the pics, very nicely done :) I'd like to make an article from your post on the site if I may and show your pictures? I think it would be an interesting first hand experience of using a charge point which might encourage others.

Thanks flecc, I made few grammar errors I think.. if anyone wants to edit to correct or improve, feel free.

CycleCharge has it's own Wikipedia page! We agreed at the last meeting it would be a good idea to have a Wikipedia page, so I've just read up on how to make one and created one for us. As well as being a useful source of info and free publicity, it will also be a good way to keep people updated...

I'll remember that in future, as I use the Post Office to do my business transfers..all these costs mount up over the year eh!
