sorry missed this post. "Obviously the UK law states that eBikes should only be assisted to 15mph. Therefore the speed tuning kit is strictly for off road use only." it should say. "Obviously the UK law states that eBikes should only be assisted to 15mph. Therefore the speed tuning kit is...

We and any of the other brands selling these products... know they are going to be used illegally. I couldn't stand up in court and say, that I thought the bikes we sell are being used on private estates, because they aren't. So i'm pretty confident we're not going to make the KTM s class...

I will have another nose at people's websites when I get back into work. It is interesting to see what others have put in their small print. If we do decide to offer the unrestricted bikes to uk market it would not be in the small print. It's statements like that, that concern us. It's...

Can we please stop with the debate amoungst the same people about the same things. That wasnt my point in this thread. I posted to ask anyone who sells these bikes or dongles to post if they do so blindly or with some legal backing. The best i was hoping for was thay someone would have a...

Ok flecc. Let me rephrase this. I'm not looking to debate the legal issues again. I was simply asking 2 questions 1) has anyone else sought legal advice Because I for one wouldn't be risking the sustainability of my company on a "flecc on the Internet said it'd be fine" And 2) if you sell...

I do see what you're saying. But can you give me any other example of a vehicle that can be sold in the uk, but not legally used? You've mentioned cases. What type of vehicle was involved? We had a 12 hour drive back from Eurobike yesterday and couldn't think of one. Which is why there is no...

this is an eBike forum, I wasn't aware it was just for end level consumers, as many in the trade use it for discussions. Its an open question that I feel many end consumers would benefit from some clarity on I know where we stand, and I know where our dealers stand. Thats not what I'm...

Thats not the case though is it. because as has been debated many many times. Its possible to use a car in an illegal manor by driving over the speed limit. But its possible to use it legally. The choice is with the owner. Selling an illegal eBike. Lets say a S Pedelec, with the 45kph...

Can someone from one the shops or brands that seem happy to sell and explain how to make eBike bikes illegally fast please message me, or ideally post on here so we can all see... how on earth you feel safe doing so. Our business advice is that should any of the bikes we sell be involved in an...

I can't see the weight of that bike anywhere... but more of a direct comparison to it (as its the same price) is the 2015 KTM Macina Force MTB. It comes in 27 or 29" wheel options, and each of them comes in 3 frame sizes so customers can have the correct size bike. Bosch drive with 400wh...

You found the same as me, even though the terrain is different. So the important observation is that you can do it on a road legal Ebike and ride it every day and still have energy left over. I'd suggest also trying it on a road legal bike with faster rolling tyres and perhaps a crank drive...

Hi, I'm working from my phone, so I'm sorry I can't reply in depth. But hopefully I can answer some of your questions. Panasonic drive range is same size as last year, we trying to make more of each bike to keep up with demand! It's just as others have said that the eCross p now comes with...

I'm slightly confused by this attitude. I'd not normally respond to such a direct comment, but I really feel in this case I should just add a few points. Firstly you're all worrying about Bosch repairs out of warranty, without actually contacting a dealer who would offer this service. Its not...

I think you're attempting to quibble on the clear point. Anything that de-restricts the motor, is in Bosch's eyes a tuning part. I asked specifically about dongles. Them calling them a tuning part is probably just a minor translation issue. Using a dongle = no Bosch warranty. This is the...

eBIkes in GQ Magazine (September 2014)

whilst I might fully agree with you, or not. Its not for you or even I to decide. The email I have from Bosch could not be more clear. I asked them a whole series of questions about warranty and UK support. Number 3, was about dongles...

anyone spot the eBIkes in the September GQ magazine? I'll scan in our copy tomorrow so you can have a read if you haven't seen it. 4 bikes tested, a Vanmoof, Moustache, Oto and one of our KTM Macina Cross 8s. Always interesting to read what non cycling based media think of eBikes and get the...

The only problem at the moment is that in some cases it takes too long to get spares from Bosch, and their service centre in Germany. I can't see any other issue? Except that some of you feel you should be able to deal with Bosch direct. I really believe that if Bosch finally sort out a UK...

Thats what Bosch aim for to ship a part, but thats not the time it takes to sort out a warranty. I know nothing about your individual case, but if there was a delay sorting a new motor, that will be the time it took to sort out the problem. That could have been because they didn't have...
