Just popping by to help with this one. They are called clipless because you don't need to use toe clips to be attached to them. If you've ever tried riding off-road on pedals with toe clips you'll know what a revelation"clipless" pedals were.

Great to hear your positive first impressions. There have been loads of 2015 KTM eBikes shipped to our UK dealers over the past few weeks, and most of them appear to have already been sold to customers. So all these bikes will be out being ridden around the UK now, hopefully helping spread the...

yes, I'm afraid we have pretty strict rules about what we can and can't make... and if its got a throttle - its a motorbike, so made by the motorbike side of KTM. For us, to be a pedelec, it should ONLY be pedal assist, so thats all we make.

They aren't being sold as a form of transport, they are being sold as a toy. I don't know the dealers in Germany that are selling them, and I'm sure there will be some people who buy these to ride to work on. But the couple of people I know in Germany who have ordered them, or the older...

there are idiots in all forms of life, no ones going to argue with that. But using someone else's foolish actions as a justification for your own... doesn't make your case any more legally sound should you be stopped or involved in an accident.

the fact you think that statement was misleading shows that you don't fully understand the implications of riding an illegal ebike in the UK. Its the same as a Motocross bike, yes you can modify an MX bike and make it road legal, but we didn't say "modified motocross bike" and even if you do...

you, and a lot of others on this forum need to get away from your miss use for the "on the road". you can't use it on OR off road. The only place you can use it is on private land where there is no public access. If you're planning on buying a KTM sPedelec, you'll need to do a lot more than...

you missed a couple of other things... make sure you arent involved in an accident of any kind, and make sure your third party liability covers you riding an illegal vehicle, or you could find your bill in the result of any accident doesn't just involve you loosing your driving license, you...

ok, thats cool. Thanks :)

great to hear the concept is working well for you... its something lots of dealers ask us about doing. However can I ask one question. so is there stock that "normal" dealers don't get access to?

we've heard rumours that Raleigh are opening a chain of their own stores, so you might find this means they start preferentially supplying their brands to these stores. Much like Specialised and Giant do with their own concept stores. Could be good for Raleigh, but possibly bad for the rest of...

True, but no ebike will have the geometry of an out and out dh race bike. These things are more like gravity enduro bikes but at dh bike weights which is what makes them attractive to two key markets. Younger riders and old school Enduro mx riders who can't ride their motorbikes anywherethese days.

plan is for a full retail / service and test facility, details soon. We'll be pushing this pretty hard because there is a definite need for something in the NW England / Wales to push eBikes to the leisure market.

interesting you say that... I'm an ex world cup Downhill racer, and my downhill bike weighed about the same as this eBike. The lads I race and ride with would love to be able to do 20 runs on their local DH tracks on a bike like this with no need or uplift, and the faster they can get to the...

Hi Happy to confirm they have indeed already ordered a couple of macina Lycan gps bikes and should have first stock early next week.

target market is every much people who want to ride up the roads / fire roads / trails and then descend on the technical stuff. Think Alpine riding, where these will sell. For the UK, we're doing this frame with the standard (UK Legal) performance drive bosch system, which will be perfect for...

We sat down with the owner yesterday and they have done an initial order, the facility will be close to Mold, so hopefully good access for lots of people. Regards Col

Yes, its a great looking bike, the pictures really don't do it justice. With regards to the new eBike centre in Wales, we sat down with the owner yesterday and did their initial order, so we hope it'll all be go soon. Its in an amazing part of the world for testing eBikes. Nothing has been...

gotta love the guys at 50 Cycles, loads of blurb about that Focus... nothing anywhere to tell you important things like how much travel it has. :(
