I can see that's what you'd like to think. But they have clearly said - "They state in their communications to us that e-bikes pose a ‘risk’." They wouldn't use the word risk if they simply wanted to create a level playing field, they'd just say, "we want to create a level playing field"...

Why do you think I've got an agenda against illegal bikes? and why do you think BHF have banned eBikes then?

is there any chance we can have a face palm, head hit desk smiley please ;) BHF and the others aren't going to say they are banning things because they can't police the law, because the illegal ones are already illegal. What's happening in this example will also happen at Forest Commission...

We've just had this through from one of our dealers. Good afternoon, Did you know that your products have been banned by a national charity? The back story... Having raised £3000 for the British Heart Foundation by cycling the 300 mile off-road route from London to Paris in 2013 on a...

you do realise this website is called "pedelecs".... which does have a definition in the UK, but we'll ignore that bit ;) and I'm sorry, but I'm afraid its not based on irrational fear, its based on facts and conversations with land owners and organisers and it is already starting...

its a 148x12 bolt though axle, so a normal style wheel won't work, it'll take a lot of modification.

that's sort of correct... there isn't really an MTB standard though. There are lots of options for rear hubs on mountain bikes. qr, 135x10, 135x12, 142x12 and the new wider 148x12

guys... its a 27.5+ bike, so it'll have the new Boost hub standard... so I don't think a hub conversion will work.

You've basically, listed - spec, price, ride quality, and aftercare. These are pretty much the 4 key things that will set bikes apart, other things that come into play with higher end bikes, and eBikes include. customer service before and during the sale (its not just aftercare that can...

yes, I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. Its just the frame is pretty much the only part of an eBike or even bicycle that is designed by the company who's name you'll see on the frame. The design of the graphics is often not even done in house.

The frame of the bicycle is the only bit Haibike make ;)

BEBA, and now the BA represent the trade side of things. If an individual cyclist wants representation or to be insured of be part of a bigger organisation, there are lots of great reasons to join what used to be called the CTC, but is now Cycling UK. http://www.cyclinguk.org/

sorry only just noticed this... the Sales of Goods Act doesn't cover business to business transactions, so the LBS can't use it in its negotiations with the manufacturer.

if a product is replaced under warranty, you don't get a new start date. But in this case he's just bought a new motor, so this new motor will have a new warranty.

Well yes, events might evolve. Much like MX and motorbike enduro events exist now. But these would be private events on closed land, just like the motorbike equivalents are. The advantage of these powerful eBikes - we make one its called the KTM Freeride, is that they are quiet so they can be...

What hope have we got when Motor Cycle News, and also the new eBike Magazine Watt bike "review" this motorbike and don't in anyway mention the one big downside, that you can't legally use it anywhere. I will bet my the days of electric MTB in this country are numbered... firts bans will happen...

me too...

No one will be "caught" they'll just ban eMTB, or even worse..... all MTB at certain venues. This new Bultaco is being promoted widely at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bultaco-Brinco-Electric-Mountain-Bike-/231927962184?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 it'll do 40mph up hill, even a...

Awesome, glad to see it finally arrived. KTM have only done one build of the eStreet P bikes this year and it was delayed until a couple of weeks ago, so they are now shipping bikes and we have stock of this model (until it sells out).

Kudos makes a good point, at £1350 its getting into very competitive territory. For instance our Ventura Cross 9 is just £149 more... http://www.flidistribution.co.uk/2016-ktm-ventura-cross-9 and for that you get a quality KTM frame, Shimano Steps drive, and a few notable upgrades including...
