I know there's probably loads of you that don't watch it but watching these inept muppets designing an E-Bike has to be worth an hour of your life - just for the sheer LOL/head in hands factor. Weds BBC1 9pm.

Nice One. I don't normally watch, but could be a good opportunity to shout my obviously 'expert' opinion at the TV....

Thought there might have been a bit more interest in this is it's bikes - oh well.
Bump for lunchtime bods if you missed it.

The whole episode could be about painting Gal Gadot in chocolate and I still wouldn't watch it

I didn't think many people on the Chat Forum side were still interested in bikes? :p

I’d watch that.

You'd try to lick it off her through the CRT screen.
It'd look like a Thorntons personalised egg by the time you'd finished.....

So the 'pillah' salesman is leading one team, and the other team think yummy mummy's and parents are a target audience. Haaahhaaa

Lol, would need an e-fit to identify the people who bought the bikes. Mainly as they would be wearing balaclavas for riding them

I'd have gone down the budget route, create robust bomb proof e bikes which don't need much tech knowledge or cleaning. Coloured either TdF yellow or Sprint green. Sign me up Lord Sugar.

Those tools sold ONE AND A HALF MILLION QUID’s worth of bikes to the bike industry?!?!?

(Surely it was all for telly though, I mean, they didn’t really sell them?)

Why don’t they say how much profit that amounts to? If the challenge is just about turnover… they could just sell on thousands of those stupid helmets with little to no margin to help get the big figure.

Thing is, that basic blue e-bike with a nice little basket - perfect commuter bike, easy sale to people for a gentle pootle round the park, to the shops or a short hop to the office. It looked OK.

The selling was cringeworthy true but the bike shone through that.

The other team with their garish lycra - it's a showpiece thing that you put out to gain a bit of attetion for your brand, not soemthing that the vast majority of people would consider buying. Same with the bike, it's a shit design with mixed messages about what it's for and the e-fit name is dreadful.

I'd be interested to see the trade price figures for the bikes and the actual profit margins.

Will the orders actually be built/ fulfilled?

No, they’re not proper orders.

Still watching as Mrs has been on the phone which involves shouting down it, so no point on changing over.

As predicted, a total bunch of clueless tards. What was far less predictable was that people would actually buy them!

if they’d been a real product I’d very much doubt they’d got any orders.
