Anyone wanting to do market research into what concerns electric bike users need look no further than these pages rather than researching it. There's quite a story concealed within the thread viewing numbers on the current page alone. Viewing numbers are the last seen, they'll grow now of course. Maybe you have some different or additional opinions as to why each subject is of such interest?

What's in a Name? Or, We Want Our Name Back! - - - - - - Viewings - 678

Probably reflects the widespread recognition that "electric bike" is just cumbersome.

How many electric bikes do you see out on the roads? - - - - - - Viewings - 499

Maybe bafflement that so few people recognise the benefits?

Batteries and cold weather (brrrr) - - - - - - - Viewings - 463

Obviously a current concern that affects large numbers of E-bikers

Cycling Etiquette - - - - - 425

A perennial one with all cyclists, not just electric.

Bought Urban Mover UM36 - - - - - - - Viewings - 389

A few viewings will be those interested in buying an electric bike, but I think this mainly reflects some underlying disatisfactions with all present bikes, and the consequent looking at others to see if there's anything better arriving.

Bike Maintenance - - - - - - - Viewings - 222

Maybe looking for easy solutions, and also guilty conscience about what an owner isn't doing!

Where to get Batteries - - - - - - - - Viewings - 110

Not too big a concern, but maybe some looking for cheaper sources for these expensive replacements.

There is some additional research that has been done on a yearly basis and it can be purchased from the ExtraEnergy site but is pretty expensive (those market reports usually are!)

I'll try and find out a bit more about what they report on.
