    alien ocean aurora help

    Regarding your first point, from what I remember from my Alien Typhoon, which I think had the same fitting, the A/E button is simply the on/off switch for the throttle providing one is fitted and connected (Alien used to supply the throttle control separately and you had to fit it yourself)...

    Distance conundrum

    According to my KTM EStyleP's display, my bike ride today was 23.3 miles. I also used the Cyclemeter app at the same time and it produced a distance of 24.29 miles! Any views on which one is likely to be more accurate? The bike's display is preset and I've made no changes. I'm leaning towards...

    KTM EStyleP

    I'm happy to say that I've replaced my Rose bike with the KTM EStyleP which is proving to be every bit as good as I had hoped, following forum reviews of the E-CrossP (thanks EddiePJ, for pointing me in that direction). The bike looks and feels very well made and is a joy to ride. It is nimble...

    'Bike' car

    No chance with a Yeti! That's what I have and, while it's an excellent car, there's no room inside for upright bikes. I use the Thule Europower carrier which is perfect for carrying two bikes. Jim

    EddiePJ - With these performance figures it would certainly be more than enough for my usage. Many thanks for your very useful, in-depth review. Jim

    Thanks. The Bionx is certainly very quiet, silent in fact, but I'd rather go for reliability than silence! The only misgiving I have about the KTM is the battery size, which at 47v, 8.8ah, is slightly less than my Rose at 48v,8.8ah. My most used rides are about 23 miles with several long, steep...

    I have indeed. That's what started me seriously considering the KTM. Jim

    That's very interesting. Was it the KTM E-CrossP by any chance? The reason I ask is that the KTM is at the moment my first choice for a replacement/ back-up for my Rose E6 with the BionX system. The Rose is a lovely bike and a pleasure to ride when the BionX system is working properly...

    The dongle re-visited

    I wonder if they'll restrict this one? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27926348 Jim

    Which mini pump?

    I also have the Leyzene pressure drive pump. Its quality, compact design and ease of use are what makes it, if not "special", at least very good. The separate hose with the screw-on valve fitting ensures a very tight fit with no chance of slipping off, which can be a fault with the clamp-on...

    gaadi tubes

    I bought a couple of 28" gaadi tubes for my Rose bike from Rose - this was the only size they had in stock in March. I also bought two 26" gaadi tubes from Bike24 for my wife's bike. Both transactions went smoothly and quickly.

    Do thieves really steal cheap bike?

    cwah, given the opportunity thieves will steal anything. Don't rely on your bike being cheap looking to deter them.

    Thanks Tim, can I take it from your reply that you won't be re-stocking with the Xion models? Jim
