Ideally Chazpope what we need is a clearly defined test route against which all bikes can be tested. In fact, we need more than one course, probably 3: Flat Moderate inclines Very Hilly We would also need shorter sections to compare hill climbing ability i.e. 1000 yards at 10%, 6% etc.. All...

Hi Andrew, if you send the information you want to include in the FAQ directly to me, I will update it for you.

No, we've not fallen out with anyone (at least I hope not!). Since the beginning of May we have introduced a charge for advertising on the site as the costs to develop and run the site have increased dramatically. So those on a current advertising contract are appearing on the site plus we...

thanks for the offer, luckily it was just a simple change in the admin control panel! I've upped the search results from 500 to 1500 posts. Hopefully it shouldn't impact performance but if it does I may have to reduce it again.

Hi Mike, the issue Flecc is referring to is either a feature or limit of the vBulletin forum software rather than a cost issue. I'll have a look through the software admininstration to see if I can adjust it. It's a very powerful piece of software and I probably know less than 10% of its...

Here's an interesting shoot-out done by MTBR : Mountain Biking Product Spotlight: MTBR Lights Shine-Off

There is definitely plenty to think about here. I think what I will do initally is remove the out of 10 ratings from the table and sort the bikes by another criteria. When creating the Owner Review form, I tried to keep it simple by just highlighting Strengths, Weaknesses and and an Overall...

Hi Brookesy, I've moved home since the original post so if you can bear with me a couple of days while I figure out where I 'filed' it ;) cheers Russ.

Hi Pete, Flecc and Tim are referring to the Buyers Guide table which currently sorts the bikes according to the overall rating given by each of the owners. As mentioned the problem with it is that everyone scores differently so you might give a bike 9/10 rating and someone else gives it an...

John, I have seen a few people on the net who have got some cheaper MR16 lights and overvoltaged them with pretty amazing results. Only problem is burn time. I'll try and dig out the links for you.

Wow, the Wilma has really come on in leaps and bounds. I have an Edison 10 which I picked up for a song on eBay a couple of years back. I've never seen anything else touch it...so far (not a finished commercial product anyway).

Hi all, we've begun work on a Buyers Guide for the main site. As we are trying to build up a big Owner Reviews section, I felt it might be useful to summarise the ratings "at a glance" in a table format. Each bike listed will have a further page called FAQ whereby we aim to fill it with other...

thanks for that coops, I also find this link on the net where an electric bike was pitted against a bus, park and ride, car, electric car and a conventional cycle: Electric bikes | Shropshire County Council So we will need to come up with something unique that hasn't been done before...

Another way to look at this is that bikes fitted with off-road capabilities are still supplied complying with the law. A key factor in their performance is that the motors still fall within the 250W euro limit. So therefore I really don't see that top speeds will increase much further than...

Hi Alan, this is part of the larger "The Sustainability Show". Unfortunately I don't have any further details at present but as I soon as I find out more, I'll post it on here straight away. cheers Russ Russell Scott Pedelecs UK
