    We were told a very interesting story about a case in Germany by Bosch yesterday, I'm trying to find the full details, so I can share on here. More as soon as I have it.

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    Hi David. Sorry I didn't call, but I was pleased to get a call from BEBA and we had a good chat about what could be improved and how. I have to say I appreciate the limitations that everyone is working within. I've made some suggestions and I hope that we (KTM) and others will be included...

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    Many thanks David. I appreciate your reply.... I'm not going to call today, because I've got a lot going on. But it would be great if you could send on the details of your meeting with the meeting with the DfT, and the remit of your role and let me know how we become one of the "few members...

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    Hi David. Thanks for getting back to me.... I appreciate this is a public forum, but with the heavy trade presence I thought these comments were worth sharing for discussion, which will I hope benefit. Please don't take this as a personal criticism, I'm just trying to get my head around...

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    I have to say that we did indeed join, but there aren't many things we've spent company money on this year that I think have been a bigger waste.. Is anyone in the trade here actually thinking their membership fee has been in anyway useful to them as a company, or even to eBike marketing in the...

    Changes to Regulations - Speed pedelecs / dongles / throttles

    ok, well thats our submission submitted :) Pretty much in agreement with KudoDave.. all looks ok, but we can't see why you'd want to remove the weight limit. There is no way some of the eMopeds on ebay should be classed as pedelecs. The weight factor is an important part of it being a bike in...

    There really are not that many

    Schwable are very much a German company ;) they are probably the second biggest aftermarket and quality OEM tyre brand, but they are smaller than Conti, because Conti does so much more than just bike / wheelchair tyres.

    Police crackdown on illegal e-bikes

    ..... and perfect timing. Spotted a whole fleet of Police out in Manchester this morning. At least 15 offices, probably more. Working on Deansgate in the city centre. Stopping cyclists for all sorts of things, and checking bikes. I went for a chat with them about a few things and we did...

    forum is collapsing

    Lol... I don't anyone would think that people like Dave are KTM customers, they aren't really. Engineers who like to tinker and buy parts from China aren't the sort of people who'll go out and shell out on a ready built bike from our or indeed any brand. If people want to discuss self...

    forum is collapsing

    it should also be said, that the vast majority of eBikes that have sold this year in the UK, and will sell over the next few years are bikes that are purchased complete, by people who aren't interested in how they actually work. We'd suggest based on conversations with our dealers, and their...

    Leisure v Utility

    Hi Paul..... have you actually ordered a bike, or are you waiting to try to find a dealer with spare stock. If you let me know which bike it is I can at least tell you if there has been a built yet, and equally which dealers have ordered it.

    Bosch Nyon Performance System / Sat Nav for 2015

    haha, come on... I'm hardly being overly defensive :) and its not even related to KTM... I'm just trying to help with some information every now and then rather then a debate go on and you all think Nyon is "insert opinion here" .... "cos its £400" when its not. Thats all I was saying.

    Presta or Schrader valves on KTM

    sorry, wasn't trying to say its random. As I said, if its a sport / performance bike, its generally Presta, if its a leisure / utility bike, its Schrader. its not done on wheel size, because 29er MTB, 28" and 700c are actually all the same size rim. Also we don't do 26" really anymore. Its...

    Presta or Schrader valves on KTM

    Hi. We build 1500 individual bikes every day at the factory in Austria. Each day, there will be a certain number of bikes from the range produced. ie this week we're building the first lot of road bikes etc etc. As the valve type isn't crucial, I suspect they build with what they...
