    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    Our position on this for clarification before I lock this thread: As you know Scott, we will and do amend incorrect facts. However SW’s post was quite clearly his honest opinion and fair comment based on reading the genuine personal experiences of others on this thread, whose Impulse 2 motors...

    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    Scott - There are one or two things I need to correct. Re: “stale” and “not many views since our last posting” I am happy to say our page views and users have been consistently up over 35% (compared to the same periods the previous year) for many months now. That increase continues to hold true...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    SW - I actually don’t need to justify my actions, or divulge what business emails I do or don’t receive, I just need to make sure what stays on this forum is on the right side of the law. I PMd you out of courtesy to explain why I had edited your statement since I had to delete your potentially...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just in case there is still any doubt about it, I am happy to confirm that Flecc has no vested interest in Pedelecs, the site is owned by myself and Russ. He has always contributed his wide-ranging knowledge generously and courteously without fail. Perhaps to do so on an almost daily basis for...

    News: DfT consults on insurance for e-bikes & lawnmowers

    My understanding so far at least from that document is that the Vnuk judgment changes the insurance obligation to one of vehicle use rather than where it is being ridden, so where the Road Traffic Act says the definition of a motor vehicle is a ‘mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted...

    Ignore function for threads

    Since there isn't a (software) option to ignore entire threads I may as well close this one. As others have said, just move along to something else is the best thing.

    Daimler Mercedes Designer Smart eBike - pure power

    I'll clarify my position here - whatever your buying process you do not use potentially libellous, most certainly inflammatory remarks on here. Thread now locked.

    Daimler Mercedes Designer Smart eBike - pure power

    Smart eBiker - I don't think many people would call insinuating that a respected trader is selling stolen goods on a forum is a normal part of 'due diligence'. Members of longer standing on here have shared David's reputation in the industry with you, in case you were unaware, which in your...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    We have certain responsibilities as a forum operator - those are the same whether posts involve advertisers on Pedelecs or not. To correct you on your statement Tom, or at least what I assume you mean by ‘throw money at this forum,’ 50cycles have not advertised on this site for a little while now.

    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    My understanding is that type approval is only applicable to newly manufactured items. So an e-bike coming off the production process complete with twist and go is a complete, new 'vehicle' is subject to type approval. However an ordinary pedal cycle, which is considered 'second-hand' (by...
