 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (This article is not for promotional purposes. It is an explanation of the history of Volt electric bicycles and the and a link to a non-related manufacturer article about how electric bicycle technology is continuing to be investigated by the UK emergency services. It also links to a current Electric Bicycle Wiki page and Law Wiki page about the legalities of electric bicycles. The article is interesting and valid as it describes the heritage of an electric bicycle brand which is now mainstream in the UK. There are no sales links nor bias information about the product.

Volt -

Volt Electric Bicycles The original Volt Electric Bicycle was initially trialled in the UK in 2006 with the intention of enhancing existing modes of cycle tranport for Police and Ambulance workers. With 36v batteries and powerful 250w brushless motors, Volt electric bicycles are capable of reliably transporting service personnel at a constant speed of 15.5mph for distances greater than 30 miles whilst carrying their full equipment load. Law in the UK prevents motors and speeds higher than this for on road use. Trials continue on electric bicycles in the UK and Worldwide as the benefits of the technology are seen to add value to emergency service personnel. Volt is a UK trademarked brand with their bicycles designed in the UK and their production facilities in China.) --D lewis1981 (talk) 10:54, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
