Don't forget guys, the readers on here are not always the target market ;) The industry needs to push to people who want to have fun if its to grow, the cycling market in the UK is huge for leisure, not so big for utility. So I'm afraid you're going to have to come to terms with eBikes being...

We're about to start a fairly aggressive campaign of education about eBikes that will be aimed at the key land owners / forestry and event organisors etc etc to make sure they know what eBikes are about so we can hopefully ensure access moving forward before there is a case that results in the...

The guys at MBR are pretty spot on, and having known their testers for a few years now they are not ones to be biased. Alan who's their chief MTB tester is a BIG fan of eBikes, so hopefully you'll see that the magazine gives them a fair test. We've scanned in and uploaded the first thoughts so...

Finally managed to get the guys at MBR (Mainstream mountain bike magazine) to take an eBike on long term test. This means the KTM Macina Lycan will be featured every month as they live with it over the season. It will be interesting to see how quickly they fall in love with it. We've not had...

...and you need to get your staff to read the emails we send out! We sent one to all our dealers about the GAADI ones. They've been on our b2b shop for ages now. I wondered why Tom hadn't bought any, and now I know why ;) Just search "GAADI" or look in the tubes section. You should be able...

If you're looking at eBikes, read up on the law and the risks you'll be taking should you use a unrestricted bike in the public domain. Don't just listen to some of the people on here who say... risk it. They won't be there next to you if it goes wrong.

That Cube has a UK RRP of £2099, so if you can find it for £1800 I'd buy that.... in fact scrub that... don't buy it for £1800, one of our good dealers is selling them for £1499, so thats probably a better deal...

This is correct, there are 3 x 250 drives. Active, Performance and CX... the two less powerful ones (Active and Performance) come in the IGH varient, therefore 5 in total. Budgets and requirements vary massively, not everyone needs or is prepared to pay for the CX drive. Its the same reason...

No one will have a problem with any questions you have to ask I'm sure. Bosch do 3 motor options now for 2016, so its simply not possible to offer all bikes in all options. The "touring" style KTM ebikes (model names are Macina Style, Macina Tour, Macina Dual, Macina Fun and Macina Nuvinchi)...

no it doesn't ;) Thats a Macina Cross 8... which has a Bosch Active drive.

We don't use Yamaha... there is no KTM eBIke that uses square taper. Although if you speak to many many people in the cycle industry you'll find many fans of the old system who wished bottom brackets still came that way. ISIS has its problems, but as with any solution, (proven by this very...

Actually, I think I can remember most. So here goes. Don't hold me to this. eBikes will be: Macina Bold Macina Lycan CX5+ Macina Compact Macina Force A4 Macina Cross 9 Macina Eight Ventura Cross 9 Macina Action CX5+ Macina Freeze Macina Fun 9 Plus a couple of others I can't remember...

With 250 bikes in the range, including 50+ eBikes I'm afraid we won't have every bike in the range there. We have 30+ bikes on our stand, and I think 4 on the test track, and there are a couple of other exhibitors to whom we're lending bikes. I'll get the full list of bikes up on here tomorrow.

yes... the road legal ones!!! I'm not talking about them! you don't see these on the road, for instance - and in many cases they are just modified minis. Which were road legal cars, but now aren't. So very much like bikes, which once modified are no longer road legal...

I will get this confirmed, because I'm no Trading Standards expert or lawyer, but the information I have is that its not come up before because with any other type of original or modified vehicle... the modification generally doesn't take it out of the classification / make its use illegal...

ok, I see where you're coming from, but that's pretty much the exact opposite to what Trading Standards say - I'll see if I can get them to put it in writing for me. Their response so far has been more along the lines of the speed restriction is in place for a number of reasons, and that the...

This is one of the things British Cycling is really good for. https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/benefits

NO THERE IS NOT!!!! I don't think anyone in their right mind has ever said this. We all know that a cyclist on a normal bike can easily go faster than the cut off speed, and people can go faster than the cut off speed on a legal bike. ITS NOT ABOUT THE SPEED. The ONLY way I can think that...

in the interests of getting this thread back onto a postive discussion. I'm intrigued enough by Flecc's opinion, and your agreement with it that I would be interested to hear you logic, so I can ensure its discussed our end. Trading Standards law says this: ____________________________________...

You'll forgive me Flecc, if I don't take onboard legal advise offered on a forum. We've spoken at length with our local trading standards and others and I'm comfortable with our position.
