    Add suspensions or sell my hybrid/road bike?

    The MX series might have different geometry, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a fork manufacturer these days anywhere in the world who doesn't make their forks long enough to be able to be swapped in and out with suspension. Because it works both ways, the people who make these forks...

    Add suspensions or sell my hybrid/road bike?

    Lots of bikes are "suspension corrected" in terms of their geometry when they have rigid forks, because brands like Bordman will use the same frame across a range of bikes, some of which will have suspension forks. So its highly likely that Bordman won't produce two hybrid framesets. More...

    pothole accident

    this is true... otherwise EVERYONE who slips whilst riding over the tramlines in Manchester would be sueing. This happens a lot, and its just one of the hazards of riding along.

    pothole accident

    it seriously wasn't a cheap shot... it was a genuine question!!! Do i need to get a non trade membership, so I can ask a question or say anything without it being considered a "shot" or "marketing"? I would be very interested to see if he is successful based on the details of the bike he's...

    pothole accident

    Sorry to hear of your crash, its never a good thing to find yourself separated from your bike, especially on the roads. If you do decide to sue the council we would all be very interested to hear how it goes, bearing in mind you're riding a bike that isn't road legal.

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    oh my RobF you say I should stop trying to educate people and thats its patronising, but then come up with things like this, that show you don't understand the law, liabilty of even my argument and frustration. You do realise a motorbike is road legal, yes? A dongle'd eBike is not, and its...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Right, I was going to leave this thread, as I'd made my point. But you RobF are clearly not seeing WHY I'm making this point, so I'll say it clearly now. Its not to sell more KTMs, we're almost certainly selling less because of our stance on this. The reasons are two fold. 1) We've got...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    ok ok.... i appreciate you say you understand. Its just when people wrongly compare it to going fast on a normal bike, it gives the impression they don't understand.

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Hi. Yes, I fully appreciate that, what we keep trying to say is that if you have an accident on your normal bike, its just an accident. if you have an accident on a de-restricted eBike you are in a potential whole world of trouble. It'll be the same as riding a Motorcross bike in the woods in...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    not wishing to argue with any of your points... but the chances of problems offroad are just as high. Imagine coming around the corner in a forest a spooking a horse and rider, or hitting someone's dog or child out for a walk, or even another cyclist. All these things do happen, all the time -...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Hi. Yes, I'm afraid d8veh is correct, the liability risks for us to tell you how to de-restrict your bike are simply too great for us to want to have anything to do with making your bike illegal. Also just for your reference... it'll be just as illegal and just as risky from an insurance /...

    18 months interest free credit?

    Its not the dealer offering the actual finance. There will be a finance company supporting the shop. So essentially the finance company pay the shop and take the debt, the shop looses a few % points of their margin - but they hope to sell more / higher value bikes by offering the credit terms.

    KTM e-street P or Kudos Rapide

    They are two similar style bikes, but and this is no disrespect to the Kudos, I'd suggest the details of the spec aren't that similar, as you'd expect from two bikes that are in different price categories. Just some reasons why the KTM is more. As has been highlighted, the battery is much...

    Statement from Bosch in relation to Classic line motors

    Will happily delete all my comments if Martin amends his post to remove this unnecessary and confusing bit of advertising. I appreciate he might now (when questioned on it) be claiming he's talking about Bosch UK, who by the way have absolutely nothing to do with eBikes at all. However as...

    Statement from Bosch in relation to Classic line motors

    The original topic was opened by Eddie... and he has posted this, so clearly he wasn't upset that I questioned a part of the statement you made. I only picked you up Martin, when you changed a discussion thread into an advert for your business and used a statement could be interpreted the way...
