    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The plan is full membership of the EU.... #stopbrexit and then do everything possible to solve the UK's problems internally, without blaming the EU / Immigrants, whilst also reforming the EU from within. Plans are pretty common... them being discussed publicly is rare. But if you listen to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No really... the "remainers" want the remainer politicians to be able to speak out, and able to rebel against the front bench on the future votes. They also don't want a compromise, they want Brexit stopped. So getting a hard line Brexit front bench in place will split the conservative party...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed. I was discussing with an old school friend on facebook, who shared that nonsense meme about refugees / illegal immigrants getting more than pensioners (its a proven well know lie, but people like my school friend keep sharing it). He acknowledged that it might not be true, but it being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    To be fair they didn't want to leave, so why should they plan? If my wife wanted to leave me, I wouldn't plan her future for her ;) well maybe I would, but it certainly wouldn't be a plan she'd be happy with. Oh, and in case you've not seen, this new development today...

    Bosch 2amp charger

    What is it they say about assumption? Clearly I've not been looking at my plugs closely enough, because you are of course correct. Its possible to pop the fuse out without unscrewing the plug. I wonder when was the last time I took a plug apart, or even looked at one before today?

    Bosch 2amp charger

    All the plugs in my house can be taken apart by unscrewing... how else would you replace the fuse? But yes, its the UK shops job to take the bike from the way it was built, and make it UK spec. In most cases, bikes are built with no idea which country they'll end up in. As our little island...

    Bosch 2amp charger

    Yup, its a legal requirement for shops to supply the bike with a 3 pin plug... however its really only a couple of quid to solve. This type of adaptor works very well with the Bosch chargers. We use them here...

    Bosch CX Motor Initial Service Indicator

    d8veh, again you've missed the point. Its not a Bosch Service interval. its a bike service interval, that the Bosch display shows, to help the dealer and some customers who'd benefit from it, know that its worth checking the bike over after x miles, to make sure everything is still night and...

    Bosch CX Motor Initial Service Indicator

    This is set by a dealer at the time of purchase, it can be set to a number of miles or a date. Its really to check things like chain wear, brake pads, cable stretch, gear set up etc etc. Usually with a new bike you get a 30 days first free service, many people don't bother to go back...

    Should lights be mandtory

    There is also a very strong argument that riding whilst expecting to be seen causes more problems than riding whilst not expecting to be seen. But yes: "It is illegal to cycle on a public road after dark without lights and reflectors. Exactly which lights and reflectors, where to fit them and...

    Guernsey first to apply ebike law?

    Just to clarify, the assistance has to cut out at 15.5mph. Above that speed you can ride as fast as you like. There is no offense of speeding on a bicycle (unless there is a specific speed limit in place, like Richmond Park). Its only when you remove the motor assistance speed limit...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    Just replying so you don't think I'm ignoring you. This bike is a few years old so I've had to go to KTM in Austria to get a copy. I hope to have something back to you before the end of the week. But I am going on holiday for a few days, so if you don't hear back, that'll be why.

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    Which bike? The sPedelec? Which we're not selling, but we do have COC for, but isn't classed as a bicycle by definition. Or another one? You really think that because I haven't provided something, that I don't even remember being asked for that, you've uncover something KTM have missed?

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Bosch don't make chainrings... they are all made by aftermarket made component brands, who supply the bike brands direct. When Bosch sell the motors they don't come with a chainring fitted. A lot of them supplied on bikes are made by a company called Miranda.

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    I have always been concerned about that. I've been riding and racing MTB since the late 80s. Access and liability for landowners and event organisors has always been an issue to me, even before there was eMTB. Granted when the tuning issue started to grow I just lumped it all together in an...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    I don't make batteries, KTM don't make batteries. I've never claimed to be an electronics engineer. I run a company that sells many things, one of them is KTM, and part of that range is eBikes. I'm not arrogant enough to say that I know everything about everything we sell. I don't, and where...
