Good find! This got me thinking as I already have recovery insurance as a benefit of my motorcycle insurance with Carole Nash - so I've contacted CN to see if my KTM pedelec can be covered as well. Though from experience of motorcycle breaksdowns it can take an hour or three for a recovery...

That looks like a frame mounted battery. Couldn't you put the water bottle on the handlebars. Like this:

As suggested use brake cleaner and also check how much remaining material is on the pads... as they can get crunchy when very worn down.

I got mine from Amazon for a tad under £30 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0080R1CBG/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1

http://dirtmountainbike.com looks American with an entirely different set of laws to UK / EU based upon 750 watts maximum - Maximum speed of less than 20-MPH on the motor only, on level ground, with a 170 pound rider. https://www.electricbike.com/electric-bike-law/

Try both a crank drive and hub drive. On the eRace P enjoy changing up the gears going up hill in 'high' keeping it in the powered 'torque' band but below the 15.5mph cutoff. :)

You've got a few hills to play with there. I often pop over to Halstead cricket club during the summer as well as supporting friends doing the triathlon sprint event.

Greetings I'm in Colchester - you must be relatively nearby.

Jim - http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/product/detail/aid:614120 Makes quite a diffrence esp on the bumpy roads. Easy to fit and swap saddles - just a couple of bolts to undo. I was lucky as I had a 10% off voucher so effectively free P&P.

Like these handle bar ends...

Slighly offtopic but still of a bureaucratic & leccy bent - Here's a funny tale from my motorcycle forum on the fun & games getting an electric car conversion registered... http://www.superhawkforum.com/forums/technical-discussion-28/lion-battery-charging-rate-32727/#post380691

KTM Panasonic hub drives have regen - and even without it have a real world *50+ mile range. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/electric-bike-reviews/ktm-ecross-p-review/ *2014 model. 2015 have larger battery capacity with increased range.

Registered and scanned through it - very prescriptive (esp the bit about instructions that must come with pedelecs). Can't see any explicit reference to home builds using imported kits - will they be all deemed illegal? Plus 6 out of 9 riders in the pics are helmetless and are riding under...

Nope still needs registration

It needs registration to access.

Surely this pressure is aimed more directly at electric scooter/mopeds imported from China sold for a few hundred pounds and sold unregistered, that vastly undercut anything comparable that established motorcycle manufactures can produce, rather than dongled bicycle derived pedelecs...

On the 1st results page there are at least half-dozen alternative sources if you google the three key words I mentioned earlier.

'Sell' the bike to e-bikeshop and then 'buy' it back from them with a dongle fitted... Seriously if you google Bosch performance dongle there are other sources for them.

There's something amiss with the spares supply line between KTM and UK as I found when I needed a replacement KTM marked rear rim. Despite the best efforts of Col and Tom they couldn't secure the rim from factory spares despite it being a 2014 bike and still on 2015 production bikes. I even...
