    Spitzing UK Dealers

    SA, and there you are worrying about the look of other people's mudguards! That is one fug ugly looking bike. It would look even worse with a dropper post, if one could even be fitted.

    Do You Insure Your Bike

    Same as that with LV, and also paid roughly an additional £60.00 for cover on both eMTB's when not on home premises including outside of the UK.

    Which place are you least likely to tour and visit with your ebikes?

    You should be able to get a decent beer in all listed other than Spain, so Spain is the least likely.

    Cycling in the Rain!!!

    I wear boots similar to the first pair that you have linked to, for walking across the fields at work. The soles wear out very quickly, and I suspect that the soles might not be durable/hard enough for continuous cycle use. Perhaps think about some overshoes. I really rate the BB ones. Link...

    I see your cheating then!

    My weekly riding partner gave me the ultimate 'put down' this week when we were out on one of our regular night rides on the retro mtb. I never use the eMTB when out with him or other groups. Towards the end of the ride on the last climb, he came up along side me and simply said "do you think...

    Corrosion Protection Suntour SR forks

    Why would anyone suggest/recommend putting an oil of any description on the external faces of any fork stanchion/slider? I can't think of a quicker way to wreck them. By all means use an oil based lubricant if you want to create an external surface that will hold dirt and dust, so creating a...

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    I think that it is perhaps slightly wasted upon me. I have always changed gear smoothly and never carried out multiple changes, so the one shift at a time just feels normal to me, but I can't deny that shifting when under load is super smooth and very precise, and this wouldn't have been a...

    You think that is bad Paul, my YT heroes are Johannes Pistrol, Harald Philipp and Manuel Scheidegger . Try emulating that kind of riding! :D This one clip kind of optimises everything that I enjoy about life, but don't have the balls for. It is on my bucket list though, even if I end up...

    NEC Cycle Show 2017: Wisper e-MTBs, Swytch & other highlights

    A moment ago you stated that the E8000 motors have had no overheating issue, now you are saying that they have had, and it and it has been resolved.!?

    NEC Cycle Show 2017: Wisper e-MTBs, Swytch & other highlights

    As said, I'd sooner trust and believe the unbiased opinion and experience of Christoph and others, than that of a manufacturer. Perhaps by the time that your manufacturing process gets underway, the issue will be mysteriously resolved, but to cut you dead on a previous comment that made, where...

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    Time for a short rainy-day update. The isn't really much to add, other than I don't think that I have ever enjoyed riding a bike as much as I have this one, and it seems to encourage playful riding. Arguably, I could perhaps have done with the next frame size down, but I tend to prefer larger...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I had to Google the name, but during the ride I stopped to talk with someone who was out walking, and they said that they had been walking along in a world of their own a few weeks back, then looked up with a jump, as a Rhea came across the path in front of them. So I guess that these must be...

    Yay, some proper riding conditions. Odd find of the day! It looks like I now have something else to watch out when in the woodland. :D

    NEC Cycle Show 2017: Wisper e-MTBs, Swytch & other highlights

    Just for the record, that is not factually correct. The Shimano 8000 motors are also overheating, and in an attempt to dismiss this fact, you even tried to discredit amongst others, Christoph Milan, who is a highly respected eMTB tester/rider in his own right, and who's opinion I would trust...

    I can see why you wouldn't with the reported overheating issues suffered by Shimano.

    Potential Motor issue

    Sadly, using any form of lubricant/penetrating oil, also washes the grease out from the bearing. .

    Night ride

    Sometimes I even find them a nuisance at night time. :D edit.. I hadn't realised just how much this section had changed in roughly the space of a year. The ruts are still there, but now they are becoming covered over. Even this photo from a couple of weeks ago is already out of date, as I...
