Magura have a Paypal account - its how we pay them ;)

I agree, it would be great for everyone if we followed Germany into making the sPedelecs a class of moped that could be registered and used legally on the roads. Then we could start selling them and make some cash :) The problem is there are lots of countries in Europe and they get to choose...

we're not going to argue with that... but I'm afraid an sClass for road use, like they have in Germany (which is the market these bikes are made for) is not going happen at any time soon. And if / when it does happen, it'll be a motorbike class, not a bicycle class.

We've been importing for years and never found a way of avoiding the charges when importing from outside the EU... sorry can't be more positive, there doesn't appear to be a way to pre-pay. You just have to factor in the % of times things slip though with no charge against the times you do get...

Its also because the 250w motor they sell is about to finally become legal to use / sell.... so they are winding up their promotion / support and interest in the UK. Whilst the 250w was essentially illegal, they didn't really have much of a leg to stand on telling people off for selling the...

its hardly pointless scaremongering. I was at a meeting at the Motorcycle Industry Association on Tuesday - this is happening. What us, and others in the industry are doing is attempting to educate you... BEFORE the inevitable accident or high profile legal case happens. If you're riding a...

I don't think anyone has claimed its to do with speed have they? We all know its possible to go faster on a normal bike than on an eBike. Its about motor assistance and the fact that if you want to ride something with a motor of over 250w, which gives assistance over 15.5mph, its classed as a...

Should mention that Raleigh (Haibike) have now issued a statement about derestricting their eBikes. I'm quoting from another thread, but thought it was worth sharing. There is HUGE pressure coming from the motorbike industry for the government and cycle industry to police the use of these...

They appear to be the stand of choice for all things KTM, just looking for a picture of the Myroon Prestige and it appears KTM also use these stands themselves in Austria for the press launches. Must be good!

yeah, its a "relatively" cheap build that one, with SLX etc all over it. The forks give away the price more than the other bits. the same frame built with high end stuff (XTR Di2) comes in at £5k rrp... and looks very very nice. So nice, I've got one coming for myself and I can't wait :)

a) can be consider furious cycling, which is fineable... he wasn't fined for speeding.... because I've been stopped for doing exactly this. b) you can fail your test for hitting a curb... doesn't mean its illegal to hit curbs.

Yes, sorry Trev... part of the delay has been a communication break down... we thought KTM had picked up the hub and had it in Austria, and were servicing it / fixing it, so we left it with them. It was only a few weeks later that the dealer you dropped it off with contacted us to say it was...

rather spookily, I was just looking at this bike of the KTM Italy facebook page, and its the same stand! Still can't quite see the brand name though. But its a good excuse to post another pic of a pretty bike :)

Its not something I recognise Eddie... but it does look like a quality bit of kit. the dealer is Gear4 in Peterborough, so it might be worth giving them a ring.... they'll probably sell them. http://www.gear4motorcycles.co.uk/?i=68913& don't spend to long on their website though.... its one...

John... Bosch is the biggest Ltd Company in the world... but even with a huge company like that, the eBike business is tiny tiny tiny. Nothing compared to the volume / money thats in other industries like cars. just look at the difference between the typical retailer you by the item from -...

agreed... but generally the problem is the parts simply aren't there... who's going to pay for it... ie purchase or repair replace under warranty, isn't normally the reason for the delay. I know someone who had to wait ages for a Shimano Nexus hub - not a KTM problem, but even Shimano via their...

I can't argue with many of your points, and we do have access to a huge amount of spares, from over 100 suppliers, but they aren't always all in stock. I've been on the other side of the fence as a cycling customer for nearly 25 years now, so I do appreciate the frustration. The problem is no...

I think we're in danger of sometimes giving you guys a bit to much information about the supply chain and confusing things, because its clearly you giving the impression "people are passing the buck" thats not the case, its to do with the different brands of components people use and the way...

Hi Rob, We came on here to offer an input to the forum from a brands perspective and all brands have slightly different perspectives... so I'll try to give ours so you have some insight into some of your comments. Firstly, our response is always "we'll do our best to help" and of course in...

Hi James. Many of the top firms who make Headsets as a business slot their crown races, and every workshop I've worked in, in bike shops has done this for years. There are no downsides and it makes removing said race later a piece of cake...
