Kits aren't CE certified as bicycles, so the dealers have no risk that I'm aware of... I've not checked though because we don't sell them. So if a dealer converts a customers bike, they won't have sold them the bike... do no legal risk. But I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on that. However...

I'm just going to reply, because there is a still a bit of confusion about a few things and I'm hoping I can clear some up. Flecc and others have compared dongle'd eBikes to cars / mini mopeds / and other things that can bought and then can be used illegally, and suggested traders / importers...

We won't sell them, because there is no way you can use them legally... so as much as Flecc might think this: But I'm afraid our advise is that our dealers would be liable should an accident happen. There are a number of reasons for this that I won't go over and over again. But believe me...

it doesn't matter. If Bosch say they won't warranty the 250w if you dongle it... they won't warranty it. essentially its their ball, and their game - and if you want to play with it, you have to play by their rules. Or simply go it on your own without their support It could be because they...

Not sure what you mean... sPedelecs.... like this one we sell. http://www.bikediscount.de/KTM-Macina-Egnition-27-GPS-45 use the 350w / 45kph motor, which is a specific Bosch product designed for sPedelecs. http://www.bosch-ebike.de/en/komponenten/drive_unit/drive_unit.php Bosch call it the...

In Germany... there is a specific class of moped / bicycle for the sPedelecs, which have the 350w motor, but have a limit of 45kph on the assist speed. These bikes can only be used on roads and specific cycle paths to my understanding, and you have to wear helmet and comply with some other...

you've misunderstood me I think, and also slightly misunderstood the Bosch motors, the 250w and 350w are identical. What I said was that the dongle will put more wear on the motor, and other components on the bike than they were potentially designed to deal with. This is because it removes the...

please please please don't mis-understand my complaints - this is not envy. I do not wish we had the attitude to ignore best practice and our morals and sell bikes with dongles. I admire what Martin has done with his business in many many ways (just not this one) and I've even been defending...

I think you might be looking at the list for the normal bike test track. The eBike test track is separate, we'll have 3 or 4 bikes on it this year.

Some quick points from me. 1) Col is my name, I post on here using it and its on all our KTM social media, so its not unusual for someone to use it. If they used Colin, I'd know who it was immediately, but my Mum doesn't use forums, so I think we're safe. 2) The warranty issue is really a...

I'd love to say we like to put in one deliberate mistake to see who's paying attention :)

Hi all. We're getting all the 2016 KTM eBikes up on our website over the next week or so. First to be done are the full sus mountain bikes. Full details are here: http://www.shop.flidistribution.co.uk/c/ktm_bicycles_ebikes_full-suspension The eGnition has 150mm travel The Lycan's have...

none taken.

This is one of the reasons I love the internet :) this thread is bumbling along nicely, good bit of infotainment for me and genuinely nearly made me spit my coffee out this morning. I was already having bizarre flash backs to my previous role as a secondary school teacher and this morning made...

Its steel frame, so its not a massive job for a competent frame builder to swap the seat tube for one with a different internal diameter. I've had it done ones to an old frame, I remember the cost not being a huge problem, however it was a good few years ago now. But it might be worth...

a famous man at the heart of mountain biking once said: "Strong. Light. Cheap. Pick Two." (you can at in many chances change the word "strong" for "reliable" - but the same is the case for most products in the cycling and eBike industry.)

We do a bike called the Macina Bold, which has a rigid fork. and it does sell well in the UK, but not quite as well as the two models I've listed. pictured is the step though version, but we also do it in a dropped top tube and standard gents versions...

I fully agree... was just really backing up Rob's point with our data. At any price point, our feedback suggests people want eBikes that look like bikes, so I'm sure this Woosh will do very well. Anything thats good for eBikes is good for us really... at the moment there is more than enough...

yes, any bike you see from the 2016 range that ends in a 5, comes with the 500w battery. CX5 = CX drive, and 500w battery. P5 = Performance drive, and 500w battery CX5+ = CX drive, 500w battery and Nyon. etc etc

Our best selling bikes over the past 3 seasons have all been this exact type of bike. I'm not sure if this was due to a lack of competition from the other brands, or simply because more people actually want and need this type of bike. 2 best selling bikes from 2015 season for us were: Ventura...
