[davidw]

is it time to revamp the list of makes for this poll since 75% of responders own machines under the heading 'other' ?

Hi davidw,

You should have just rephrased all of the above heading and rewrite it as:

TIME HAS NOW GONE BY THEREFORE WHO OWNS BIKES WITH OVER 250WATT MOTORS??

I can't see any ideal solution for this poll, since many of those who originally entered their bike over the last six years have changed to other models, so even where there are makes shown, the percentage is wrong and having entered a bike, further entry is blocked. We also have a very high proportion of members with more than one e-bike, some with several but only able to enter one.

The nearest I can see for anything at all up to date would be for the poll to be restarted from zero annually, but it still wouldn't include all the e-bikes owned by members with more than one. A further problem is the sheer multiplicity of makes owned, the list would be extremely long with I'd guess well over 50 makes and the majority of makes showing only one or two owners.

Also not helping is the fact that quite a few e-bikes are sold under various names, for example the Tonaro made e-bikes are marketed under four different maker names which members own.

In other words davidw ,this new poll will be then considered as to be inconclusive, if you still had wanted to go along with it.

Could you just have an accessible database spreadsheet type thingy, where people enter their own info by following a link?

Think Google documents do one.

I agree, just take those out of the 'OTHERS' catergory and extend the makes and models, perhaps in some form of spread sheet.

Any open access system will be easily corrupted by spam additions to give a false impression of one make's popularity though.

And even with the present simple click entry only 10% of members have made an entry, so how many would bother with a spreadsheet? No doubt far fewer so the result even less representative.
