    Sh eep Shee p She ep

    Thanks for that. :). I will do a KTM Macina HS Dual review soon but for now am resting the knees from my cycling week last week. I forgot to take piccies as well of Caernarfon Castle, Menai Straits etc as I was too excited beating my other half up stupidly steep hills. Giving my knees a rest...

    They are everywhere. Anyhow... is there a book at all about development of electric bicycles at all? My mum recalls a neighbour / friend in the 60s in Rugby having an electric bike and using it lots.

    KTM dealers?

    I bought my KTM Macina dual HS from electrifying cycles on here... Had done my research (yes I did Turdaro riders;) (Joke guys!!) and asked lots of silly questions.... Some traders fobbed me off and said 'call us' blah de blah when I asked too many questions via email.. Never tested any of...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    I did try the bike in several different gears etc but it even stuttered before the hill now that I recall. Did not have time to try the walkies bit today as I was cycling and forgot to test it. Just wondering if there are any weird sensors / technique I many not be doing right?

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    Ok.. No laughing at my mad cycling technique from the graphs or else....! I took the bike to test out two very steep hills (in my opinion!) where I always had to push my 'normal' bike and it took ages. This was first time I could actually see how sport and turbo worked and how it affected...

    More excitement than Wissy

    Whilst I know where W+K live (not that much of a secret on Anglesey) share same shopping trolley and car parking space that does not mean I am he or her. Odd thing all these saints actually ... So many were Irish and shipwrecked off the coast of Wales. Odd that... no saints for ages now...

    More government support for 4-wheelers, nothing for 2-wheelers....

    Independence for Wales would give us less millionaire politicians ;)

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    7.30 am i took the bike for another small spin - just 3 miles to next village. Was testing it against headwind and it is so easy to be tempted to use turbo or sport mode when there is no need but against headwind was really handy. Felt as if i had exercised and took less time by far. Did take...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    Hi yes I agree... When I first was making decision there were hardly any photos of this frame (low step?) version... Liked the higher frame one also but decided against it due to me ageing and possible resale value (not many 5'5" men I guess or women wanting male frame).. Actually not mich...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    To be honest not sure!! How many of the hub ones overlap with normal ones if that makes sense? Maybe electrifying cycles can confirm.... I was never good at the cogs homework in physics at school!!

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    Thanks all. One thing I forgot to mention earlier was the light situation. Cannot figure out if they should go off immediately when I stop? took battery out and lifhts were still on for ages? They eventually faded off but wondered if anybody has more info, thoughts on them.. Is it a dynamo...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    Only did a 4 mile quickie yesterday evening to get the 'feel' of it all. Obviously felt very guilty going past heavily ladened tourers on the way. I do feel a bit of a cheat but hopefully I will get over that soon. The controls look a bit 'oh oh' but I sussed the electric gizzmo and the...

    More excitement than Wissy

    Thanks for making me feel included in your new arrival! Sounds good even if it has no logo ;) One good thing about his Ducati is that it makes him go the other way faster! Look forward to test drive details but mine delayed due to yesterday's celebratory intake of fermented beverages. Need...
