Informationen jenseits des Marketinggelabers sind kaum zu erhalten. Dies haben Andreas Oehler und Rainer Mai bei ihren Recherchen erfahren müssen. Rainer Mai hat den Elektrorad-Rummel einer kritischen Würdigung unterzogen und berichtet in einem weite- ren Artikel über einen kühnen Selbstversuch diesbezüglich. Andreas Fuchs hat sich Gedanken gemacht, warum und wie Elektrofahrräder die Reichweite von Radfahrern erhöhen können. Die rechtlichen Randbedingungen sind da je nach Land unterschiedlich und grenzen das Potential ein. Andreas Oehler beleuchtet in seinem Artikel Elektrofahrräder kritisch in Bezug auf die Ökobi- lanz, hier u.a. die Seite der Akkus. Von Lui Frimmel und Jürgen Buss gibt es einige Vergleiche zur Historie der Hilfsantriebe. Pedelecs sind nicht die ersten Fahrräder mit Hilfsantrieb. Auch die vergleichenden Versuche von Kettenschützern brauchen ihre Zeit. Man kann halt nicht mehrere Fahrräder zugleich fahren. Und wie man sich preiswert und schnell einen Großteil des verschleißenden Schmutzes von Kettenschaltungsketten verbannt beschreibt Wolfram Fischer.

Since their inauguration, the UCI have been minded - some say very bloody-minded - to be involved in controversies and deliberations on the eligibility of bicycles being used in sport.
