In my previous "proper" job, I worked as a consultant in the energy industry, started of in oil / gas, moved to off shore wind (which is what I did my Masters in) and then got head hunted for a job in nuclear. During this period of my life I learned a lot. It can be summarised by now my total...

Hi Crockers... different drive suppliers have different systems. You should see a Shimano Steps 2017 KTM eMTB later this season which is pretty much fully integrated. The Bosch batteries don't lend themselves to full integration for a number of reasons, so this is about as close as KTM want to...

Just had a look on the Mail site, to see if I could find the article and this popped up. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3717663/Unelected-peers-start-House-Lords-plot-BLOCK-Brexit-force-second-referendum.html So it looks like the MPs might be trying to get "those who can't be...

Yes, that's clearly an incorrect interpretation. An increase of 10% on cost price, can wipe off the whole margin on some products if you're operating on the margins many in the bike industry operate on.

I'm not a currency speculator... I'm not claiming to be, or even want to be. I employ the services of a company for our foreign currency purchases for exactly that reason, and they email me each and every morning with their forecasts and advice. I then pay invoices and look at our margins on...

I'm not sure what part of understanding the important aspects of my own business you think is ludicrous? Selling KTM's to the bike trade is a portion of our business. We distribute other brands, which we buy in and sell. So the exchange rate is crucial. If we don't keep track of it, we can...

Yes, its 60cm... and all the KTM eBikes come in this huge size.

http://www.ridevelo.cc/shorts/2016/7/25/brexit-hits-cycle-sales Its not just eBIkes.

That's quite a good rate... who do you use? Ours is currently saying... Rate: GBP /USD 1.31183275

Ford announce similar problems.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3714383/Now-Ford-blames-Brexit-warns-job-losses-rising-car-prices-750m-hit-Britain-s-decision-quit-EU.html

I'm not sure it works like that... the main problem will be that if eBikes are going up by a big jump, they won't be the only thing in the retail market that is experiencing this. Everything will go up, expect wages, so people will have less to spend. But this could mean sales of eBikes...

Should add it was at 1.3192 before we got the notification about the rate cut. I've just checked and now the rate cut has impacted on things. Its down to: 1.30331738 So I suspect it'll be under 1.3 by the end of today.

yup, bad news Trex... its was at 1.3192 for us from our broker yesterday. They also sent us this warning yesterday.. "Data compiled by Bloomberg suggests a 100% probability that the Bank of England (BoE) will cut its key interest rate next Thursday, 4th August. If the BoE does cut rates, this...

Have you got any experience or facts, or evidence to back up your theory? Because it's total nonsense. If you want, I'll send our 2016 and 2017 prices with the trade prices to Pedelec's so Helen or Russ can see them, and they can show you that within the bike industry eBIkes are some of the...

You'll find a complete list of our KTM dealers here: http://www.flidistribution.co.uk/ktm-dealer-list They are listed by postcode and there are a good number in Yorkshire as we're based in Yorkshire ourselves.

Its one of the MANY benefits of being in the EU, currently trade to trade customers (both have to have valid VAT numbers in their host country) don't charge each other VAT. So all invoices coming from Bosch, or KTM for instance to UK business are VAT free. It saves the business paying VAT and...

True, but equally more police, defiantly doesn't make us safer from terrorist attack

To a situation, where prevention is better than cure? To a realisation that you can spend billions on policing, but it won't stop a nutter in a lorry driving into a crowd at event x? To a situation where and educated society of tolerance and understanding exists, therefore youths from any...

Just had notification from our currency broker... things are set to get worse... "Action required – 100% certainty of rate cut? Data compiled by Bloomberg suggests a 100% probability that the Bank of England (BoE) will cut its key interest rate next Thursday, 4th August. If the BoE does cut...
