    2016 KTM thread

    I see the control unit on the Panasonic's has't changed. My feedback it that they need to seperate the Power on/off button from being right next to the Assist Levels buttons. In the dark and/or with gloves changing levels up it's easy to inadvertantly switch off power entirely - usually when...

    Bikes on trains

    I take my full size KTM locally on the train off-peak no problem - Rush hour or intercity would either need a fold-up or notifying them in advance.

    Can a pedelec be a mobility scooter?

    I did try it on with a police woman in my town centre when sneakily riding through a pedestrian area, as I have intermittent claudication which makes it difficult to walk after a few minutes.

    White-knuckle newbie

    KTM have a high powered s-pedelec that you can buy if you can demonstrate it will be used purely on private land. See Tom's post here: KTM egnition http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/ktm-corner.19044/page-2#post-239091 https://www.electricbike.com/ktm-egnition/

    Server issues/downtime

    Use the power of Google's site search with the advantage it works with 3 or 2 letter words that most built in searches don't index. Just put in: site:www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum road tax If you want to search the forums for references to 'road tax'

    Opinions on my bike
