    Kudos King owners beware

    The motor seems to have a connector part way along the swinging arm but it is encased in one of those heat shrink rubber protective sleeves and I did not want to cut that off to find out. The reason that I wanted to remove the wheel to replace the tube is that I had not previously encountered...

    Or vica versa. This one's for you Brian! It's Sunday morning and I have had chance to 'play'. With the main battery switched on and the display active press and hold the "Down" key for approximately 10 seconds. The display will change to a flashing wheel symbol in the bottom left and will...

    Kudos King owners beware

    Hi Alan I used that title more to highlight the lack of rim tape than the inability to disconnect the electrics to the motor although the latter did make the tube change rather difficult! I am a bit out of touch with cycling having only got back into it as recently as 6 months ago but the...

    Kudos King MTB arrived today

    Hi, I am 6ft 1in and I asked Dave at Kudos the same question a few weeks ago. I have my saddle set to 42 inches from the ground, he set the saddle at this height (as I have now) and he informed me that there was still plenty of seat tube left in the frame for safety. I think that if I am...

    Parcel delivery companies, who's the best?

    We trialed DHL for three months over last Christmas and noticed a considerable increase in damages compared to City Link. When we questioned this we were told that it was due to items "falling off of the end of conveyor belts at the hub". Northampton's main hub is Hatfield but some consignments...

    Parcel delivery companies, who's the best?

    I work for a company that ships in excess of 100 consignments a day by parcel carrier. The products include cleaning chemicals, paper products and glassware. Protective packaging is paramount as there seems to be an accepted inevitability that damage will occur when using parcel carriers. The...

    PRO RIDER - this'll be interesting!

    There are a couple of things that do not appear to stack up with this company. 1. Their contact address is Loughborough but the "Order Hotline" telephone number has a Northampton STD code - 50 miles away. 2. They have this bike listed on Ebay with more than 10 available but the ensuing...
