I've asked a simply question. You've posted about eMTBs, and I've asked a question of you, that is totally relevant to your topic. If you post the reply to my question, I can quote it and start a new thread and I'll happily delete this one. You posted a reply... so you could have simply...

Hi Martin. Could we have a public reply on your standpoint on the use of eBikes with dongles and pedelecs offroad please. Our stand point is that it is only going to take one accident involving such bikes at a trail centre or on forestry commission land for the land owners / powers that be to...

Hi Jim. You'll need to speak to the dealer you purchased the bikes from. I can see which bikes are ordered, but I have no idea which end customers they might be for. Regards Col.

The UK price list has been confirmed, and us and all our dealers are in the process of putting the bikes up on the web so you can see the prices. This takes a bit of time. If you're after anything specific price wise I can go though some of the bikes for you now.

There are a few subtle changes that do make a big difference, things like the tyres for instance. The original Macina Freeze was weighed with a different spec tyre, but it has only ever been supplied with the Jumbo Jims, which weight A LOT less than the ones that were used to quote the initial...

Hi all. The 2016 KTM eBikes brochure is now available for your viewing pleasure. http://issuu.com/ktm-bike-industries/docs/ktm_e-bikes-2016 We're happy to answer any questions about the new bikes.

I suspect its happening in an even safer place than that......

I see you've totally ignored all the points about liability risk and the important issues about riding illegal vehicles on the road and and now just focusing on warranty. We don't sell to the public.... we're not a shop. I'm not sure how good your understanding of the warranty system is, but...

Just to add some balance to this very very flipant attitude. Whilst, yes chances are you won't get pulled over. However you will be riding what's legally classed as a motorbike on the public roads, so should you be involved in any accident, you'll be caught riding an illegal vehicle with no...

here's the new link. http://www.ktm-bikes.at/en/bikes/e-bike.html?action=bike_details&bike_id=49&cHash=fb0b2da51f2aef4c97bfaefc77731a7b

no problem at all. It is still current though because there are lots of dealers in the UK with this bike in stock. Whilst we might have launched the 2016 version, it won't be produced immediately by any means.

Hi Steve.... its possible the link has been taken down. KTM have now launched the 2016 models, although there is pretty much no change to this model. The price is also still the same. The KTM Ventura models have the Shimano Steps drive, so nothing Bosch at all.

Take it is a compliment... it looks like they see you as a threat to their business, and would like to benefit from your reputation.

I love loads of bikes, and I just spent two days at Eurobike playing a very good game of "what would I buy"... and I am very very much not dismissive of many many things that aren't KTM. I worked for 20+ years in the bike industry before I started working for KTM, and anyone / everyone who...

We had a similar discussion recently. It appears they've put an RRP on it that high, but no dealers actually sell it for that. They do this so they can promise dealers a certain margin that in reality isn't achievable. Its essentially trade based marketing by maths. some pretty scary...

no surprise there is absolutely no mention anywhere at all that it can't legally be used in the UK, on all but private land where the is no public access. Check with any motorbike shop and you'll see this is very dangerous ground for any business to operate on. If any of his bikes are involved...

The law is set That might not be a bad idea in some areas... and actually in lots of urban areas around here its already 20mph, so the logic does stand. However the cut of speed of an eBike isn't its TOP Speed, or the speed its actually restricted to, so the comparison isn't really relevant...

The other interesting comparison is that 15.5mph turns out to be the average speed of the biggest sample of UK cyclists (Strava) so its a good speed to set the law to... as its the average speed of a fit cyclist.

Bosch don't deal with the public direct I'm afraid, your first port of call with questions / issues like this is always the bike shop you bought the bike from. But as you've added, the internet can often provide a solution or narrow down the issues.

I know these have been discussed quite a few times in recent months. Well the news is that they are now available from any KTM dealer. 2 sizes, and Presta or Schrader valves means hopefully everyone is covered. £8.99 RRP
