A friend and neighbour is very keen to buy his first ebike. Having tried various makes and models, including my KTM EStyleP and my wife's Freego Eagle, he has decided that the new KTM EStreetP is the bike he wants however it appears there is none to be had. He can't even get an estimated date of...

I am having a problem inflating the tyres of my KTM and my wife's Freego Eagle, both of which have "slimed" tubes. I use a Leyzene Classic Floor pump with a threaded connection to the Schrader valves on both bikes. The problem seems to be caused by the slime causing too much pressure for the...

Could this be the next thing in personal transport? Jim

After 3 months, and getting on for 700 miles, I'm still very happy - 95% - with my KTM eStyleP. It's a lovely bike to ride with a very "sporty" feel and it's an excellent hill-climber thanks to the Panasonic motor. My 5% dissatisfaction relates to how hard it is to pedal the bike without...

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...

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...

Even pedestrians are using the "c" word now! My wife and I were on a bike ride yesterday afternoon when we were unfortunate enough to get caught up in some kind of road race (runners on foot, not bikes). This was on a public road which was not closed for the event. As we emerged on the other...

I think we tend to lose sight of the fact that ebikes are fun given the amount of discussion on models, drives, prices, etc. Last week we enjoyed our first visit unaccompanied by our 16 year old grand-daughter and on the one dry day of her stay I took her out for a 10 mile ride, with her using...

After going back through the Aldi HD Action Camera thread at the end of last year I had more or less decided to go for the Hitachi camera from Argos. Unfortunately I left it too late, it's no longer in stock and doesn't seem to be available elsewhere. I'm now looking at the F9 1080 HD action...

I found this while trawling through old newspaper archives the other day. No road sense these intellectuals! (Hope I've managed to attach this properly.)

May I ask what members use for lubricating chains and sprockets? After seeing a You Tube video which impressed me I've been using White Lightning which seems OK but I wonder if the wet lubes would be more suitable for my purpose. I don't take the bike out in wet conditions (although I've been...

After much deliberation, trials and seeking advice, I finally bought a Rose Black Creek E6 pedelec using the big 70 birthday as an excuse. I thought I would emerge from under my stone to share my experience of the bike to date. Price apart, buying the bike was made easy as I found Rose really...

Can anyone recommend a cover for use while carrying 2 ebikes on a towball-mounted carrier (Thule). I'm looking for one which can be put in place after the bikes are mounted on the carrier so that it can be used quickly in the event of getting caught in unexpected bad weather. I've looked online...

I'm currently lusting after this bike (www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/rose-black-creek-e6-trekking-men/aid:621670]ROSE Black Creek E6 Pedelec Men) as a belated 70th birthday present but it would appear that no test can be arranged in the UK. I'm thinking about arranging a visit to Rose in Bocholt...

Hello, I'm newly registered and just introducing myself. I bought my first ebike - an Alien Bikes Typhoon - in June last year to replace a rarely used mountain bike. A short time later my wife bought a Giant Twist and we have really enjoyed using them since. We prefer cycling on quiet back...
