    RobF.... please tell me what you're basing these sweeping statements on? Have you had any formal legal training, or done any research to give you this confidence? Because. If you're involved in an accident and you're on a vehicle that isn't considered safe to be used on UK roads... of course...

    Fast Legal Bike

    Rob, you clearly don't understand the law, liability or anything you're debating. So Id suggest actually speaking to others who KNOW how it works and then coming back on here. Liabilty, does not stop with you, if you're involved in an accident riding an illegal vehicle on the roads, if you've...

    Fast Legal Bike

    Clearly not I'm afraid... which is emphasised by this single point. If you're riding an sPedelec, or a dongled eBike, its not a cycle, its a motorbike, so insurance IS compulsory, you're just choosing to ignore that law. There were a lot of accidents involving bicycles in 2013...

    Fast Legal Bike

    RobF, I'm not going to argue with you, but I should present some facts for you and others to see. So I am going to point out that I am Director of a business that sells thousands of eBikes into the UK. We work for KTM, who are in a pretty unique position in being a brand name that makes cars...

    Yes, I understand what you're saying... what I was trying to point out... is that if you want to use a dongle legally. You HAVE to do this to your dongled bike. Buy choosing to fit a dongle to an eBike or indeed simply using a sPedelec you've chosen to ride a moped under the current...

    Fast Legal Bike

    Its already happening. I've witnessed it myself. Police are stopping cyclists on major commuter routes in most major cities now, checking bikes, pulling people for riding though lights, on pavements etc etc. I'll find the examples from the cycling press for you. The only bit that needs to...

    Fast Legal Bike

    eventually what?? There is no law that needs changing, or even creating. All that will happen, is the police are asked to start stopping people on eBikes because its an easy way so showing motorists they are doing something, and as both the cycle industry and motorbike industry are pushing for...

    Fast Legal Bike

    Your points are of course correct, doing this to a pedal bike destroys all the fun and point of having a bicycle. You might aswell just by a moped and be done with it. But this does show what a legal eBike that does over 15.5mph assisted HAS to legally look like. However by adding a dongle to...

    Thoughts on the 11 tooth cog

    single, double, or triple... road and MTB... 9, 10 and 11sp. Pretty much all cassette options on bikes use an 11th cog as the smallest one. if you have a problem and its trying to jump up the cassette its because you've got the limit screw too far in, or your chainline is out. If a chain is...

    Thoughts on the 11 tooth cog

    the 11t cog is standard on pretty much all road and mountain bikes, so if you have a problem with it skipping it'll be trying to shift up or down... which is a set up issue. Probably your lower limit adjustment not set correctly.

    2017 KTM prototype....

    software updates are provided daily by Pedigree Chum, but the mid ride emissions can be a problem from this drive. The power bands are also a little inconsistent, but the motor has been evolving for thousands of years. Mark 878,352 will be ready in 2017 which we hope will be better trained ;)

    2017 KTM prototype....

    Due to ever increasing legislation surrounding eBikes and particularly their use on shared offroad trails, KTM have been looking at ways to give riders the performance they are looking for. So though we'd share this prototype with you. Bosch are quaking in their boots about the lost sales...

    Cheap Breakdown Recovery for Pedelecs and Pushbikes.

    I'm sure that's just because if it's over 200w / 15.5mph it's not a pedal bike it's classed as a motorbikeby the law so wouldn't be covered by this policy

    Trying to find an 8 speed chain for a crank drive motor.

    We sell kmc chains to dealers on a reel. Online that I know of mtb-direct.co.uk are probably the best to contact to buy a set length. Probably not listed on their site but they buy loads off us so they must sell it somewhere

    Rear wheel for Izip wanted.

    There is a bike shop asking about this on the bike trade industry forum, so I'm guessing its to solve the same problem... currently no one has a solution on there I'm afraid.
