    KTM Corner

    HI Trev. Just to update you... normally there would be a dealer in place to help you with a spare bike / loan a hub or simply fix the fault or something like that. That's what they are there for. In this case as your dealer has gone bust that step is missing. We would normally have taken a...

    Macina Action 2015: a critical failure in quality control… made worse by crap customer service

    I'd not expect a response from KTM, they generally just forward all emails onto the company that manage the country... ie if you're from the UK and you email KTM, it mostly just gets forwarded to us to deal with. But we're, glad something has now been shipped to help you out, I'm still shocked...

    caught for speeding with radar gun

    They were pulling pretty much all the cyclists, to check things like working lights, brakes - and making sure they didn't jump the lights or rode on the pavement. I did make a point of speaking to them about eBikes and they did mention that they were becoming more aware of them and one of the...

    Macina Action 2015: a critical failure in quality control… made worse by crap customer service

    Hi. Firstly I should point out that we're not involved in this case, because we just look after UK dealers. So we have no direct knowledge of this case, as you're in Ireland. However we do know how systems work with KTM, and hopefully can cast a bit of light on this for you. Firstly, if a...

    caught for speeding with radar gun

    i guess this was a slightly rhetorical question... but. no... its not just London, and its not a new thing. I was stopped in leafy Cheltenham back in the 90s for speeding on my bike. However it didn't really go anywhere because I asked the policeman if he really expected me to give him the...

    So I went to a trail centre...

    Fingers crossed the current (tar all eBikes with the same brush) banning of eBikes in / on US trail centres doesn't lead to something similar happening here. http://reviews.mtbr.com/moab-blm-bans-electric-bikes-on-non-motorized-trails

    building a street legal ebike

    I Interesting because we wouldn't sell them one ;) We know all about using bikes on private land, I've raced enduro and ridden quite a bit of motocross. It's just interesting to know what's going on. If you can let me know which of the stores was pushing the bike to you I'll ensure we send...

    building a street legal ebike

    Hi James Just as a matter of interest... Because as yet no one has been able to answer this question when trying to buy an sPedelex from us (hence we've not sold any)... In your case where is this private land you want to ride on and what's the point of riding on it? We're not picking holes...

    One for those that like their eBikes with a throttle...

    These are coming to the UK soon. http://www.ktmfreeride-e.com/en and here's a great video of 2 of the UK's best 2 wheeled talents putting it though its paces. In KTM world, because its got a throttle and no pedals, it comes under the motorbike side of the business. either way it looks...

    Slightly confused by these seemingly conflicting statements... but I might be misreading things. and now you've said: So are you saying you'll send out the Bosch diagnostics kits to people for them to do the work in their own home?

    How to "fix" Brake Fade

    unless they have a VERY good mechanic - they will simply tell you that you're brakes need bleeding, and either offer to charge you and do it for you, or sell you a bleed kit. I'd REALLY suggest, just walking in and buying some fluid and doing it yourself, the problem you have could just be a...

    How to "fix" Brake Fade

    Phil... your brakes should cope with that. People use those brakes on bikes in "proper" mountains in the Alps / Canada etc etc, and offroad where you can't let off anywhere on a 60 minute offroad descent really. They won't be getting that hot in anything round here, even with really bad...
