Windgoo B20 electric bike recalled https://www.cyclingelectric.com/news/windgoo-b20

Becoming quite a risk, this subject. There's now a significant trend of bike shops being denied insurance because somehow the insurers have come to the idea that an e-bike is almost always a risk, when in fact all of the risk is coming from things that are not, in fact, e-bikes...

I'm a bit surprised that this story hasn't gone further. I'm told by quite a few bike shops that this is a massive risk for the retail sector and it is of course not of the e-bike sectors making, rather more generally speaking of the conversion kit and gig economy sector's making. I'm hearing...

A long read if anyone has time this grey afternoon. What started with a picture of a Tern next to a Cybertruck turned into an idea about researching the resources used to manufacture each and how capable each one is in reality for the same task. E-bike versus EV car battery resources

At one stage you'd have been called a conspiracy theorist for such an idea, but it's not beyond the realms of belief that influence could be at play because evidence surely isn't (though I have seen no evidence to support).

Hi all, Bit of a long read for you here, but one that I think will interest everyone. I've been conducting a bit of an investigation into the reality behind 'electric bike' fires and consistently found that reputable manufacturers have a near zero rate of instance, but are facing the brunt of...

If Bath is not accessible we intend to run no less than four demo days nationwide next year. Leeds is among those places confirmed, as well as London again.

Afternoon all, Now we're a bit closer to the event and we've more brands on board I wanted to nip in and offer this forum a discount to come along and try out the broadened range of electric bikes (and trikes) Since my initial post we have added Jorvik Trikes, which is a really big plus for...

You may find this a useful, though disheartening read. I'm still not aware of any active insurer in the space and I've contacted most personally: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/insure-a-speed-pedelec-in-the-uk (Please let me know if you do know of one currently insuring, id like to know)

Very likely you're all already the proud owners of an e-bike, but for anyone looking to add to the fleet in the South West, there's another Demo event next month in Bath at the Odd Down Track on September 29th. So far confirmed are Estarli, Benno Bikes, Tern Bicyles, Velo de Ville, Tenways...

The data from specialist insurers does not back up electric bikes as being any more dangerous than most other items.

Electric bikes less likely to catch fire than cars, finds insurer study

Spotted this thread and don't think i've posted this piece as yet. Cost to run an ebike TL;DR - very often it'll be sub 20p per charge unless you have a battery above 700Wh.

A real rainy Friday afternoon downer here, I apologise. It's been on my radar for some time that major business groups were steadily halting employee e-bikes being on site (Canary Wharf, More London Group etc.) Now I've seen evidence that some landlords and their insurers have already enacted...

I'm not one for forum debates anymore, but perhaps rather than copy and pasting the Government page you could detail yourself the 'many' errors, for which you have not yet articulated one example. My presumption is the irritation here is down to the difference between peak and continuous...

To meet a few points in one: In the one article i'm focused on those at the table in the highest level of discussion around the matter; those in the room on the day are what I can report on. The fact that nobody there, arguably bar Ben at PedalMe, had much to say on the need for 500W is, likely...

You're welcome to point some out, but if it's shooting the messenger on the subject then you'll have to excuse my ducking out.

If anyone on this forum fancies coming along on Sunday (28th april), I've some £5 tickets on offer - DEMODAY5 being the code to use at www.cyclingelectricdemodays.com Unfortunately we cannot do free, the overheads of putting on an event at a proper track prevent that. On the plus side, over 20...

An FYI - I sat in on a recent discussion held by the APPGCW with a variety of views represented - manufacturing through disability charity, logistics firm and trade body. The recap of the event here with all views represented: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/500w-e-bike-consultation-update
