    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    Can I ask how much you paid in Germany in Euros?? Exchange rate is great at the moment. So if warranty is EU wide and UK bike only 200w makes sense going to Germany. Am going over there in Jan / Feb.

    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    Most (not all) Mercedes dealers are owned by Mercedes UK. Therefore when you bought the bike your contract was with the dealer or in this case MBUK. Not sure how you would fare if you went to a MB franchise. But I'm sure MB would honour it as I've always found them to go above and beyond their...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    Sorry to sound naive. A "dongled" bike has the restriction of 25kph removed. A Spedelec (which most manufacturers - including KTM) has a larger motor but is restricted to a higher limit. Spedelec needs to be registered plated and insured. So my question is why are Spedelec sold in the UK as...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    Right lets get a few facts straight. I said I could drive coach and horses through the wording as it had been written. Mind you the real wording and translation made me grin.... Secondly - for a emtb I would go through the small claims court so no loads of solicitors etc etc. Thirdly. I...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    Lol. Hope you enjoyed the coffee. Imho if the claim went to court the manufacturers would have to prove the failed item was due to the modification. Easily done if the engine died etc but not if the frame snapped or similar. Mind you anyone taking the manufacturers to a court may have...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    Wow. "Manner that it was designed for". Two points. 1- is that the exact wording?? 2- if so then the grammar needs work and you'd never get that to stand up in a court. I could drive a coach and horses through that wording. I do understand where you're coming from and do agree with your...

    Under consumer law the dealer would have to prove that your modifications were the cause of any failure. Engine burnt out may be proven but a saddle splitting wouldn't

    Kalkhoff Integrale 8

    I'm in a similar position. I bought a Wisper 705 but now have a hankering to move on. I like the R&M charger too and have looked at the Haibike sduro and xduro trekking models. So I'm following this thread with interest. I too need to sell the Wisper to do the deal. Not sure what it's worth as...

    Hello....confused from Cirencester area.

    Many thanks for your input...I went down to Bristol to look at the Kalkhoff shop but couldn't find anywhere to park so moved on to Atmosphere Bikes. Didn't plan to actually buy anything today, but after explaining mine and my wife's requirements the owner explained it all to us. My wife wanted...

    That's all well and good if you use this Facebook thingy. What about those of us who don't want to tell the world every time we have a cup of tea?

    Hello....confused from Cirencester area.

    I'm 6ft 1. My wife is 5ft 4. I weight 14.5 st. Wife. Hmmmm can't say that in public but her bike will need to support her. We are both unfit and want it for leisure. Maybe put on back of SUV and take to France, trails. Budget is the difficult thing. Like most peeps I want a lot for little. Lol...

    Hello....confused from Cirencester area.

    Hi My wife and I are looking at getting fit again and ebikes seemed to answer the call. I have spent weeks looking online and have to admit the longer I look the more confusing it becomes. I was very interested in the BH Neo but have now ruled that out. I'm very interested in the Kudos Eiger...

    Kudos Eiger with NuVinci Hub

    I'm a little confused. Under the sale of goods act you can reject the goods if they fail to meet the required expectations of reliability within a (and this is the grey area) a reasonable time. Your contract is with the dealer so it is he who has to sort this out. Sorry that my first post...
