2015 KTM Ventura Cross 9

yes, was just intrigued as to where the £400.00 figure came from? Seems like it was just made up??

this would be a fair criticism, if the numbers were correct ;) Its not a £400 upgrade or anything close. At least not with our brand. For example. Macina Sport 10 Plus £2099.99 - Bosch Performance drive with Intuvia Display...

there isn't regen on Bosch motors? What bike have you tested?

We shipped quite a few 2015 bikes early, before the nyon was ready so these customers were then upgraded to nyon last month. So it's defintely possible to do. We're just not sure when bosch will release them as a stand alone item for retailers to sell

there is a slight issue with this whole thread, in that the title isn't correct / relevant to the article. Its not that the police are cracking down on illegal eBikes... the artificial is about trading standards cracking down on dealers selling bikes that are modified to mean they leave the...

100% correct Dave :) not quite... we've said we can sell them, that doesn't mean we are. We've said we will supply them if the customer and dealer can prove they have access to the private land needed to use them. No one so far has been able to prove they can use one legally, and if I'm...

Its not really paranoia. You are an individual, take risks as you see fit. My concerns are based on a well educated business understanding of the law and issues. There are now a good x thousand KTM bikes in the UK that are directly linked to my business... so the chances of one of them being...

oh Trex... your understanding of product safety law is not great I'm afraid. Call trading standards if you don't believe me. The dongle can be a safe item, and the bike can be a safe item. They have both been individually tested and approved. However if a dealer is selling them both together...

...and the reason that some of us (businesses and individuals) are so sensitive about people using illegally powerful bikes is that one of these few who feel they have the right to break the law could spoil the whole industry for us all at this sensitive time, if they are involved in an...

this is of course true, they are very different... however I'm afraid in the eyes of the law, and health and safety legislation, insurance etc, there is a line in the sand, and thats set. So you on your Rose with a dongle fitted is just as bad as a 1000w contraption - should you be involved in...

If James was arguing his point on legality of use or something like that, then I'd 100% agree with you. But he's not. His concern is one based on product safety and the law that surrounds that to protect customers. So whilst you might think they are similar. In the eyes of the law they are...

I can't answer for James. But there is a clear difference. sPedelec are built as a bicycle around that speed. The brand of bike and motor and government have certified it safe to use. The fact its still illegal on the roads isn't the point James is trying to make. a dongle, changes a bike...

Here's a gentle nudge to all our KTM dealers... when thinking about your promotion remember how light the bikes are:

is the purpose of getting your bike out... to go for a ride. if so, we're saying its leisure. if the purpose is to get somewhere, its utility. Does that sound like a reasonable definition for the purposes of this discussion?

very interesting... that wasn't what the we were expecting. The general consensus we were expecting was that eBikes would be used more as a form of transport, and less as a leisure pursuit. I wonder how accurate a representation this small sample is of the general eBike buying population?

Just as a matter of interest... Can any of you spare 30 seconds to share some information. We're just having a small discussion in the office. What % of your time on your eBike is for leisure purposes, and what % of the use is as a form of transport. eg: 50% leisure / 50% transport. We'd be...

yes, I think thats a fair assessment. Its a compromise certainly, I've never seen on in the flesh, but wanted to show there are options out there. The other option is to undo the lock on clamps on the grips, and then tap the end with a rubber mallet until the handlebar pushes though the end of...

What about something like this? http://www.cyclorama.net/blog/technology/rear-view-visionary/

We're really enjoying reading your write up's. Eddie is correct, there are a number of magazines and websites that could really benefit from such quality text and images. I hope you don't mind, but we know we're not alone in enjoying these pieces. So we've shared a couple of your photos and...
