    Bosch Nyon Performance System / Sat Nav for 2015

    Quick Question from the blurb where it states: "You can also set the eBike motor’s assistance models to suit you" In the marketing vid is shows the bike accelerating from 21.0kmh and then at 24.9kmh (15.4mph) an important incoming message (conveniently?) interrupts the display. Are these...

    Well, I have just gone and done it - Kalkhoff BS10 ordered today

    I don't envy you dealers having to be seen to abide by the letter of the law and effectively being hamstrung in the process, when the effectiveness and implementation of the law is quite fuzzy. It seems old gits like me are being protected from 15+mph due to the fear of youths getting their...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    My point being was not that you are a liar but first you need know where it is to look to see the colour of the bike … Even with my location in my profile as a clue you'd stand no chance. re GeoStationary orbits = 22,236 miles. Photo reccie satellite = approx 200 miles. See the difference - the...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Emo Rider - Tell me the colour of my motorcycle parked outside my house? Cloud cover isn't conducive for optical searches add the fact that an orbit takes 90 or so minutes and tracks a different area each revolution. Note the delay between date of images and when they eventually locate...

    Col There's a KTM motorcycle dealers close by in Halstead but they don't appear to have anything to do with ebikes. Hook of Holland/Rotterdam is closer in dry miles to an ebike dealer! KudosDave - ta for the heads up was probably looking at a trip out to Kingston upon Thames area to see...

    Best warranty

    Hi Col - I'm in North East Essex and researching into buying a ebike but there is a dearth of ebike dealers in the vicinity for test rides etc. So your quote doesn't inspire confidence esp if splashing out on a quality brand if things go wonky - and a KTM is on the list. I'm not a car driver...
