Hi Rob... 10% off isn't a massive discount, and if the other shops have no stock, why discount at all?? He'll be doing 10% of more off because he has to on these bikes, because most retailers are doing the sub £1000.00 GTs are 15% or more off already and have been for some time, because they...

Its a fair point, but as with anything, you can only make so many. Our dealers and most of the customers who own KTM actually seem to like it that we've sold out. It means the stock they have is worth good money and their bikes have decent second hand value. GT clearing bikes out, might help...

Very sorry to hear that, I'm afraid we're in a position where demand is higher than supply for lots of the models in the KTM range, so in many many cases our dealers did not order enough stock to fulfil demand and as such there are some models that its been hard for customers to order. The...

Afternoon all. Its that time of the year when we start seeing information on the 2016 range. The UK press are off to the press launch next week, and then its our sales meeting a few days later. So lots of information will start coming out, so we thought we'd start this thread so we can put it...

Rockstar Gary Howard (The Flying Pickets) chose to ride a KTM eBike during his music-tour Xion this summer. Gary decided "I just need the best and most reliable bicycle!" so KTM was the obvious choice

its nice to see that nothing has changed in over 2 years... dealers are still selling these bikes without giving their customers any reassurance as to what happens to them if they get caught using them, or are more seriously involved in an accident. At the moment the shops / brands that are...

Not actually relevant to the new OP.... which is about 50cycle... so I'm sure they can can answer that question. However with regard to Bosch... Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing on what Bosch say. Which is clearly... "The are various companies and individuals who offer a “tuning”...

Hopefully this magazine will be in touch with what the UK market seems to want, and not focus on super high end niche futuristic products that give people a false image of what eBikes are and the types of people who use them.

David... this is the KTM factory... in Austria. Each bike is built by two "engineers" and I can find out easily which couple built any single bike, as they take responsibility and sign off the bike, just as you've described. How many bikes being built a day does a factory have to produce for...

Being able to fix a puncture, true a wheel and generally look after all the non e bits of the bike is also crucial. If eBike shops don't (in some cases) really start upping their game in terms of looking after the rest of the bike, many will find the traditional bikes shops in their towns get...

At the moment I think we're on about an average of 3 calls a week from people... "thinking of setting up an eBike shop" Lots with other business, either Cycle Shops, cars, motorbikes or just people with a pension, redundancy or savings, seeing it as the next big thing. Most don't have a clue...

just throwing this out there (mainly because I'm in work on a Saturday, and can't go riding because I'm racing tomorrow) ... read into it what you will. You don't see many of Haibikes, normal bikes in the UK. I wonder why that is??

More than happy to read a good bit of marketing David... but really. How is building a bike after its ordered by hand any different to lots of other Bosch bikes that are built by hand in Europe (ie KTM's) before or after the order? Are you suggesting you get better quality because they wait...

As a brand that does... Crank drive Shimano, Crank drive Bosch, Crank drive Panasonic and hub drive Panasonic... I think we can say that having spoken to a good number of dealers over the past number of years, there is one clear reason why its good to have options, and thats because there is...

Interesting point of view.... However I would say (and this is me personally saying this, not KTM) that from my experience, part of the reason eBikes haven't taken off in the UK as they have in the rest of Europe is the fact that too many of the brands available here and most of the publicity...

wonder where that one has come from? .... certainly not one I recognise and its not a dealer of ours. .... strange. I will dig a little deeper.

Formulas, don't take into accounts lots of things. 1) Some brands are currently putting bikes into every single dealer around the UK and giving them massive credit terms. This means dealers are fighting over customers and most are willing to sell bikes at big discounts to get customers. This...

The Maxxle, is just the axle, and its Rockshox product - this doesn't effect the wheel or the hub that has to be used. Its still a 20mm bolt though whether it uses a Maxxle (Rockshox) or the equivelant 20mm axles from other fork brands like Marzocchi (which will be on the Kona) or Fox or indeed...

don't buy ANY wheel for €20.00 it'll be rubbish... so get your one shipped.

Its just a 20mm bolt though front wheel. So there are thousands of options, its not a rare thing.
