    First Ebike Purchase review: ex demo KTM

    Hi.... Firstly, can I apologise. Last week was insanely busy, we were running around like headless chickens loading and unloading lorries for the Cycle Show and to get the bikes in and then back to Austria. So when I said I didn't have time to speak, that was correct because there was a lorry...

    quick question for you KTM owners.... how many of you have third party liability cover for when your on your bike? All of the guys here have it, but its part of the membership benefits of being a member of British Cycling. We know a few people who've had to take advantage of it, but we've...

    And another what bike thread....

    Hi Rob. Just to be clear, because no one else has mentioned it yet. Offroad or onroad the bikes are still illegal. They can only be used in the UK on private land. If you are thinking of using an illegal bike in the UK either on or offroad, please make sure your insurance covers you in the...

    more details on the Shimano STEPS system

    Shimano first launched the STEPs (Shimano Total Electric Power System) project in 2010, so this is essentially the 2nd version, but its a big step forward.

    more details on the Shimano STEPS system

    Yes, it is definitely a good move for everyone we think. They are pushing it hard to all the cycle shops.... ie pretty much every cycle shop in the UK. Bike shops generally trust Shimano, so it could see eBikes in a lot more shops. Prices are pretty much a bit cheaper than Bosch. Our...

    more details on the Shimano STEPS system

    We're pretty pleased to be one of the small number of brands offering the STEPS system on our 2015 bikes. We had one at the NEC at the weekend and its a very neat looking system. Lots of information has just been released by Shimano, so those of you interested in this new system might want...

    KTM Corner

    the white does look very very nice, its high gloss and looks very posh. However I suspect after 6 months of use in the UK offroad the classic KTM black orange colours on the GPS+ model will probably look a bit better. and on another note. KTM don't just make bikes ;) The full range of KTM...

    New Electric Bike World Record Set!

    why?? we're not attempting to realign anyone's moral compasses. Its about realising that the impact of selling thes bikes goes beyond the individual customer or brand, and effects the image and sustainability of eBike industry and market as a whole. BUT THIS WASN'T THE POINT. All I want to...

    New Electric Bike World Record Set!

    New Electric Bike World Record Set!

    Yes, good spot. We're taking it for a very good reason. To promote the fact we make them, but chose not to sell them because at the moment too many customer are choosing to use this kind of bike illegally on the roads. Ktm make very powerful Offroad motorbikes that can't be used on the roads...

    New Electric Bike World Record Set!

    ok... i have to ask? How come a 350w bike is allowed? Surely then its not about the bike its just about how much you're prepared to break the law by? If we're allowed to use an eBike, can we enter this? http://www.ktm.com/gb/freeride/freeride-e/highlights.html#.VBsQredqc1g
