As one of the UK's best-selling bike brands we thought it time to give Halfords Carrera electric bikes a look. Here we review the £1,199 Impel im-3.1, a commuter bike that has a decent-sized battery & tyres that will open up gravel path shortcuts. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/half...

Journos request here for a bit of data crowd sourcing and crosschecking: What bike shops have closed near you in the past 5 years, and which have opened? Names, numbers and years of you can.

Intradrive is one step closer to being seen in the wild with the first samples now with manufacturing partners keen to test and see whether a motor and gearbox combination suits their builds. Give it a few years and I bet these things will be everywhere. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/intradr...

Interesting @pippaheylings.bsky.social asks about the health of UK bike industry, she's right to be concerned. Removal of anti-dumping on Chinese e-bikes, Brexit's effects, insurers refusing e-bike shops cover, buildings & landlords blocking access. It's dire. www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=20...

I've re-run my numbers & gutted to say they're worse than I thought. Best case scenario, each local authority could lay, one-way, between 2-300 metres of quality cycle track all things being equal. The reality is more budget split will drive numbers down www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/ana...

New today is the announcement of £291 million for active travel. The PR was light on detail so I followed up with Active Travel England. This figure includes £100 million from autumn budget & is for the 24/25 & 25/26 years. Detail and context here: www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/ana...

Could an ‘active travel leasing scheme’ be an answer to the cycle to work inequality void? A paper handed to me by @blikehappy.bsky.social explores a fresh idea for giving access to the low-paid, unemployed, retired and self-employed. www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/cou...

Something a little bit different in our next @cyclingelectric.bsky.social magazine... I try my hand at breaking into some of the market's strongest bike security goods. Great fun.

If 2c is dead, as it's fair to believe it may be given growing consensus, then we should all be planning our futures very differently. It was never a target, it was an absolute limit for life as we know it to sustain. Astonishing that this isn't front and centre of all news outlets.

Bafang E-Bike Drive Systems introduces a three-speed automatic hub motor in Ado collaboration. The existing two-speed is excellent on urban bikes, so looking forward to seeing this grow in the market. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/bafang-...

Great ideas for UK to follow, or join! "Reforms would oblige online platforms to provide data before goods arrive in EU, allowing officials to better control & inspect packages. Also abolishes exemption for goods < €150 from duty" www.ft.com/content/0b2b...

ARCC's take on making a Brompton electric is very smart, using standard tool batteries on rotation with a 250W hub motor in a replacement front wheel. Our tester rides and rates this approach: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/arcc...

What is perhaps now most pressing about this is undoing the damage to the e-bike's standing. Insurers and buildings managers must now look at this data and do better with their policy making and encourage people back to active travel:

What a ridiculous waste of energy. A 7.5 mile radius and max weight of 2.3kg with a human controller. Frankly an ebike and rider would make more sense, both financially and environmentally. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
