    BOSM-intelligent sensor

    Even more fascinating is the US Police electric bike from that site... http://www.kuanhe.net/product/showproduct.php?lang=en&id=46

    2014 KTM E-CROSS p review

    How did you find the QR front axle? On mine the clip and washer pinged out and wouldn't stay secure when put back. I had to add an extra dome washer to keep it all in place. As you say the rear wheel is a doddle to remove with easy access to the cable connectors. So are you going to buy...

    Nervous, or trigger happy?

    On their way to Middle East? and/or Ukraine - As a couple of days ago Russian aircraft were buzzing the US coast off California http://warnewsupdates.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/us-f-22-and-f-15-fighter-jets-intercept.html

    To Kit Or To Woosh?

    Are you still talking about an approximate average speed or max powered speed? My motorbike has a top speed of 156mph doesn't mean I average that ;)

    To Kit Or To Woosh?

    I'd say about 10–15mph* and then a pedelec should up it nearer or above 15mph. *All depending on bike type, tires, pressures, prevailing wind, hills, terrain (urban / rural) traffic light timings, traffic etc...

    Possibly the most hideous electric bike...ever!

    2014 KTM E-CROSS p review

    I've got quite a bit of wear from cable rubbing - as for the console it was tricky in the dark at first as I kept inadvertently switching it off! Quickly got the gist of it now… I'm quite happy the console is fixed on as its one less thing to go wrong or lose! And the first mod I did was...

    2014 KTM E-CROSS p review

    I did notice the over-run assist - which comes in handy on a ride into town where there's a pedestrian/cycle way underpass with a sharp uphiill switchback and this feature helps negotiate this. As for inner tubes mine were Schwalbe with presta valves, with both replaced due to multiple patches...

    E-Mopeds, harshly judged

    Significant hills around Colchester around that range are Clingoe Hill out towards the Uni/ Wivenhoe (nice pubs & fish & chips as a reward) - out towards Abberton along Mersea Rd dipping into Roman River then climbing up out then along a bit to Butterfly Lodge Farm with lovely goat icecream. Or...

    2014 KTM E-CROSS p review

    Interesting to see how you find the e-Cross Eddie, as it seems quite similar in many respects to my E-race. I can confirm the mad chortling when zooming uphill with slick up gear changes. Easy to keep in the power/torque band with a light footed cadence for any hill I've shown it to keep a...

    Motorcyclist knocks a cyclist down

    As a biker myself - the ducati rider seems caught up in 'city rush' and dives into a non-existant gap. Though not sure what the status of the darker lane is between opposing lanes (is it really a cycle lane? if so then what's the biker doing on it... ) Cyclist doesn't do himself any favours...

    What is your experience of the KTM Macina Action?

    I test rode a Macina Action 29 at the London Leccy Bike event at Redbridge in London last week and it was top notch. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/redbridge-2014-may-18-afternoon.17580/page-3 The motor does what it says on the tin and it handled all the inclines and off road sections...

    Redbridge 2014,May 18,afternoon

    Continuing from yesterday - it was a grand day out with Redbride easy to get to. With my experience of late on conventional Giant Escape 2 hybird for the past three years covering a couple of thousand miles with the only demo of a pedelec limited from a local Giant retailer to an uninspiring...
