I think the speed Strava quoted was coming down the hill from the Derwent reservoir dam on an empty private road. I have to say it was rather scary and took some time to stop! To be quite honest I’m happy toddling along at about 10mph enjoying the scenery and will not let the speed build up again.

I had a KTM then a Cube e-bike and loved them. Then I was told by my consultant I shouldn’t bend and lift so I sold the Cube then bought an H6R Brompton... this was basically a 6speed Brompton. I had the gearing reduced for going up hills but I struggled after my knee operation. So.... I...

Unfortunately KB Cycles of Newburn are closing down and have a sale on... Great bargains to be had.... Best be quick as I believe the closing date is the end of September.

Hi Rob As can be seen above... some time ago you mentioned Cycle Heaven in York and how helpful they are... well I’d like to thank you for the recommendation as I’m now the proud owner of a six speed Electric Brompton! They were so helpful and their test track (long stay station car park) is...

If you enjoy your KTM half as much as I did you’ll have a huge smile on your face 24/7 !! FatRat mentioned about KTM and motorbikes... I remember their Trials Bikes and if they make bikes to survive Trialling they make them very robust to say the least.

I had a KTM Macina Cross10 and foolishly changed it for a Cube.. I have to say, IMHO, the KTM seemed to be of a higher quality than the Cube.... I loved the way all the cables were routed through the frame and not cable tied into a groove.

I went on the initial waiting list and got mine 10 days ago from Cycle Heaven in York, which at the time was the most northerly dealer part of the “initial order” batch. I have owned two crank driven ebikes, both Bosch, one a KTM and the other a Cube. The Cube was too heavy as I’m not supposed...

I had a full sized KTM then a Cube ebike. I found them too heavy so bought a non electric Brompton. Two months after buying the Brompton I got an invitation to go on the waiting list for an electric Brompton. I went on the list and this photo shows the result! I’ve Only ridden 20 miles on the...

In October last year I had a total knee replacement, at age 66, on a knee that had no kneecap since I was 18, having played “blood sports” (rugby!) when a well aimed size 12 boot ended my rugby days. After 45 years of not cycling and getting bigger (18stone) I bought a KTM Macina with the...

Hi Damian Great to hear you are going to join the community. I am totally unbiased with regard to brands and have had a KTM, a Cube and have a Brompton electric folder on order...... my own thoughts are buy a bike which has a good follow up service.... you mention Woosh which has many mentions...

There are some very cheap clear ones on eBay and Amazon. Also search Ikea Dimpa Bag. A Brompton fits in these with ease, but you need to check your bike measurements.

I’m non technical but I’m sure it’s a Brompton part. The attached picture might explain it....

My Brompton has both. It’s a six speed using a three speed Sturmey Archer hub and a two cog derailleur. I have also opted for a reduced main chainring to give easier hill climbing. The derailleur mech also acts as a chain tensioner when folding and unfolding the bike so..... all Bromptons have...

My comments were really aimed at the brand as opposed to the particular model.

I had a KTM Macina and having been in the aluminium boat manufacturing business I look carefully at the quality of the welding and have to say the welds looked very neat and tidy. I changed the KTM for a Cube as I needed a step-through frame and have to say I felt the KTM Macina was better put...

*** Now Sold ***

Unfortunately I’ve had to part with my Cube ebike for health reasons. So I’m reluctantly selling my Thule Easyfold 2 bike rack which has been used once! It cost me an exorbitant £500+ and will sell for £250 :( Due to the weight it’s available for collection only near Stanley in Co Durham...

I have the Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 500 with a step through frame. I have only done about 200 miles due to knee replacement surgery (hope to go home today!). It really is a well put together bit of kit. I think the main difference between the 400 and 500 is the battery size. It really is a joy to...

I had the same issue.... 6ft 7in and over 18 stone so needed a bike with plenty of power! I had a KTM Macina Cross 10 with the Bosch Performance Line CX and found it first class....but..... I needed a step through frame due to a knee problem so now have a Cube Touring Hybrid pro with the same...

Try sending the size to Y-Frame discounts via Amazon.... I did for my bike and they were very helpful.
