Any Dutch people around here..................??????????????

[Jazzjerry]

Hello I am Jazzjerry from the Netherlands,

Are there any other Dutch people here?

I am trying to get a forum running in the Netherlands because I think there is a big DIY lack of information in the Netherlands. All information I have been able to find about electric vehicle's is somehow related to someone trying to sell their product. So I bought a bit of webspace to start a EV community in the dutch languige. Hope you guys see this could be a good place to start an EV DIY information exchange platform for the dutch so people that are not that good at English also have a chance to read up and get inspired.

I therefore hope some of the dutch people on this board are willing to contribute some of their findings story's and Idears in this forum as wel.

Have a look at http://www.naafmotor.nl

I hope you guys will join me to get this up and running.
I could use a moderator to help me out there as well.


Best Regards,

Jeroen Compagne

Nice to meet you KiM,

I have an ex GF in Oz,

I lived in Atherton (Qld) for about a year and worked in Naturemanagement with the QFRI. I also have a daughter (Born in Holland) in Oz. She went back with her mum when things did not work out here in the Netherlands. She is 10 now.

I think your ex missus must be from Bladel, which is a vilage/town in the south of Holland (Brabant). I have some friends from Bladel as well. They have a great summerfest there every year.

So I know a bit about ozzie's .....

About legality here, If you want to ride an EV for free (No road tax and ensurance) without a helmet........

-You have to have a pedelec sensor,
-Max 25 KPH
-Max 250Watts
-Max 36v (if I remember correctly)

If any of these are more they see the bike as an E-bike which means:

Needs a government road acceptance certificate.
Under 25kph no helmet over helmet,
Ensurance like a moped,
Road tax and plates.

Regards,

JJ

You get 50watts more limit than us in OZ, there isn't a speed limit though, not as if 200watts is going to
get over 25kph in a hurry anywayz hehe...I wish we had a chance to register here so we could have larger
power limit...Helmets are a must IMO either way...

And yes it was Bladel...near Eindhoven i believe...
