    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    Many thanks. Who ever stole it, they can keep the bike. Now replaced. Should any enquiries come you way for battery or HMI, please try to ascertain the thief's identity and whereabouts as I have an invoice I would like the courts to pass on.

    e-Bike Theft On The Rise?

    Flecc, I tend to agree, in my case, two bikes side by side. Different locking arrangements on each bike. They took the easiest one, just happened to be the electric one. Probably didn't even notice it was electric at the time. Without a battery and HMI, makes it impossible to get rid of a...

    d8veh, fake tan?

    Dave, I cant help noticing the picture you post of yourself. Your face seems to be a different colour to your body. Is this some sort of fake tan or as a result of some sort of battery experiment?

    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    Flecc, thanks, lets hope so. The police have all the details. There are loads of old vans parked up the road with people living in them. Thefts have started since these vans arrived. I'll hold my breath and see if the police investigate fully.

    Advice on Commuter ebike

    I can if I wish to know the real cost to my wallet. Having said that, one can take out the diesel but it would still be impossible to get to 50ppm. My car doesn't cost that much.

    Advice on Commuter ebike

    The bike has yet to complete the 3 years but it is a KTM macina 29. Even if I gave it away after 3 years I could not get to 50ppm. Like anything, you have to use it fully to get your money's worth. Mine, £2200 over 18000 miles or 3 years. 3 sets of tyres, minimal elec bill for daily charging...

    Advice on Commuter ebike

    50p per mile. Are you paying someone to ride it for you? I've done the maths on mine over a 3 year period and selling the bike at the end. Less than 5p per mile. Based on a realistic 18000 miles over the period.

    bike on ebay

    El Champiero Your XIPI story could be mine. Battery mount, spoke failures and ultimate water damage making the motor very noisy when powered. The whole thing has been sat in my workshop for over a year. Frank did say he'd have the motor back and sort, never bothered. I realised that, although...

    Enclosed bike

    The thing can stay upright on its own and it wont be long before it can take itself to the destination without the rider. Sorted, the rider can stay at home with pipe and slippers, nice and dry.

    Enclosed bike

    The idea of a bike is to get out in the open. What ever next, cowled pedestrians?
