"Well done, great idea. I've done over 40,000km's on ebikes the last 4 years and can say it's absolutely worthwhile. The costs of the ebike are much less than vehicle registration & insurance. Multiply this over 4 years and you can…"

"Hi Wendy-jane, Great to hear about your riding and the results you're getting from this. I'm going to create a meetup group soon and will let you know regarding future events. I know what you mean with using the throttle. I got around this…"

"Hi David, What is the capacity of your battery pack? My electric bike sounds like similar performance to your friend's bike. I easily get 30km/ hour plus going up any hill, etc. Oliver's Hill, Mount Martha, etc. My bikes have 2 electric…"

"How much did you pay for the bike, David? If I may ask :-) I've ordered kits and built my own ebikes. This way I can seal the wiring better, e.g. all the connectors go into plastic boxes from Jaycar Electronics and I can seal these boxes myself…"

"Cool little set up you have going there, all you need now is a solar panel on the trailer to recharge your battery while you ride!!!"

"No worries, Michael. Let me know if you need any more help, etc :-) I find Ebay very useful for all ebike accessories, I've built 3 ebikes purchasing components from overseas using Ebay."

"Hi Michael, Does the bulb look like this? See Ebay link below? http://www.ebay.com/itm/40V-3W-Light-Bulb-for-electric-Scooters-/300697975319?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4602fefa17&vxp=mtr Let me know if you are able to…"

"Hi Narelle, Mordialloc bike shop 225 Beach Rd MORDIALLOC, VIC, 3195 runs a Sunday afternoon training session for kids. Apparently they are quite good at this. Let me know how you go :-) Regards Nick."

"Hi Yvette, I don't have a stolen bike to report but would like to complement you on the great website. Have you done the website yourself? I'm keen to get something done for my company. Regards Nico."

"Hi Bruce, The battery packs and chargers are pretty standard, no need to chase a Phillips dealer in particular. I think Phillips themselves will be quite expensive, especially the fact they are well known brand. If your bike is 200 Watts then a 36V…"

"Hi Stephen, you are absolutely right. I believe the consequences for someone crashing an ebike will be much  harsher than for a drunk P platers crashing their cars. Sadly I believe ebikes will never take off in Australia unless common…"

"Hi John, how are you? I'm living in Carrum, not too far away from where you are. Let's catch up for coffee at some stage."

"Alan, I just pretend to be pedaling with enormous effort when i see the police. I have rear mirror on my helmet and watch out for them all the time. And of course wont throw any doughnuts when they are around. I have done approx 43,000km via ebike…"

"Hi Alan, I think the only way is to use silient protest, I've been using silent protest for approx 4 years now. My electric bikes are absolutely non-standard, acceleration from 0 to 40 when departing at traffic light is faster than…"
