Can tech firms make electric bikes? That's a question we've explored at Cycling Electric lately, first with the DJI and Amflow e-MTB, but now with laptop giant Acer and its quirky Ebii.

This is a very quirky bike, with some good indicators that Acer's apparent ambitions for this sector will bring some digital perks for those that it works with; and it is our understanding that they're actively involved in Taiwan's e-bike industry lately.

This bike, however, was not to Mark's tastes and had some design flaws that went against conventional logic.

Transport for London caves to ASLEF pressure and BANS non-folding electric bikes on any tube services, Overground, Elizabeth Line and DLR services.

There is so much to unpack here, but again, the reputable bike shop standard electric bike is thrown under the bus down to issues entirely unrelated. Conversion kits that do not meet standards do not automatically make an e-bike!

ASLEF blanked our emails pointing this out, and now we have a further instance of the country's transport going backwards as a result.

Transport for London (TfL) has moved to ban e-bikes that do not fold from its network from the end of March 2025.
