You're not comparing the same things... which if you're using an illegal eBike and this is your justification is something you probably need to research. removing the speed restriction on an eBike, means its no longer a pedelec and it becomes a moped. So doing so, is VERY MUCH NOT the same as...

This is restricted to a very very small number of bikes from 2013. All the dealers who've had bikes that are from the batch that has the potential to be effect have been notified already, and hopefully they will be contacting the customers directly already. Just as a point of reference...

I'd bet that is why this listing says it weighs 40kgs.... I wonder what it actually weighs?

Why don't you ask Wisper?

Yes, you need one in the wheel, AND a spare one to make it worthwhile. So you actually need to buy 2. Otherwise you need to carry a big knife to cut your punctured tube out.

Also, if you can wait... it might be worth giving it a few weeks, as all the brands are about to launch their 2016 models. We have a lot more full sus MTB options in the line up this year. It'll be 8-10 models this season. You can view our full 2016 range here...

:) all i'm saying is there is lots of things to worry about - and worrying about promoting eBikes because some youths might want to use them illegally is probably not something that needs to be that high up your list. kids want to ride BMX's, mini motos and generally look cool... not ride...

This is all correct... but you're drawing lines in the sand regarding legality, and expecting someone to abide by some and not others. I'm not sure how many of these types of youths you know, but having spent a lot of time with the KTM brand now and also having previously worked as a teacher in...

If you're going to want to use a bike illegally, to go fast illegally... they're just going to use a motorbike - why would they bother with a pedelec? Its only older people who want to break the law without feeling bad about it, and also still want to get a bit of exercise - who'll use illegal...

You're focusing on the price being the main barrier to growth or eBikes... its not. Price isn't really an issue, as there are bikes available at all price points. The issue we're having is how do you advertise the concept of eBikes on a national level? We're working on lots of ideas...

Thats exactly the story we're hearing all over the place :) But how did you find out about eBikes?

Sorry, you've misunderstood me. We're not struggling to sell bikes, we sold out again this year. We want to support our dealers and do more advertising, but so far everything we've tried has been a total waste of money. Regarding the price, I'm afraid KTM and I suspect Haibike will never...

Yorkshire is a pretty big county, but you could do worse than visiting these guys. They sell KTM, but have a lot of other brands too, so you can see what you get for the various price points. http://www.northyorkshireelectricbikes.co.uk/ If they aren't local for you, give us a bit more of a...

You raise an interesting point Steveindenmark. We have a massive problem working out where to actually advertise eBikes, especially the more sporty ones. The potential customers are so wide ranging, its hard to do any targeted advertising at the brand level, because where do you do it? At the...

All three bikes are now sold.

I wouldn't take the lack of interest on this forum, to be representative of anything really. There are only a few brands offering eFat bikes, and I think we are all experiencing the same thing. The bikes themselves are only ever built in small numbers and dealers are reluctant to pre-order or...

its second hand... so £1000.00 is a lot, for a bike that even if you simply went out and bought the parts at retail you've said yourself you can get for £1600.00 So if the sum of the parts is £1600.00... what do you think the bike would actual retail for? £1200.00 would be my guess based on...

That's not really how you work out the RRP of any bike though Dave... the total of the components always comes to ALOT more than the RRP. However the second hand value of anything is determined by one thing only, and that's .... what someone is prepared to pay for it.

2015 KTM Macina Eight, Uni Sex step though frame in 51cm. £2099 RRP, this one has zero miles on it, but a couple of minor scuffs from being in his van. Bosch drive, nexus hub, ideal commute bike, pretty much zero maintenance needed...
