KTM eLycan

[baldylox]

I wonder if anyone either has or has any experience of the KTM e Lycan full suspension e bike they would like to share?

 

[KTM Bike Industries UK]

There are only a couple of people in the UK who will have even seen one, First drop is due with dealers who have pre ordered very soon.

Latest news from Germany is that the first Lycans are going out in June with Intuvia display and will later (september?) get the Nyon...

Now you are just teasing me. Spill the beans, who has pre ordered?

I still think that this is going to be the hottest/most desirable e-mtb released this year, and when it comes to the spec and RRP, there isn't a bike that is close to it.


I'm dribbling already!

I also need to arrange to hijack the carrier.

B-b-b-ut Eddie, it's a b-b-b-oring B-b-b-osch.

Sad isn't it.

This is one bike that I'm really desperate to get a ride of.

I'd did confess elsewhere that the motor suddenly made sense to me off road. I just hate the noise.


I also started my time comparisons today (I should have been working) Over a set distance of 1 mile on a hill that varies from 9 degree to 13 degree, the BH is exactly 1 minute quicker, and that is with the BH in Eco mode, and the Bosch in Sport mode. It's also a lot less work on the BH.

We've had one on pre-order for some time now at Onbike...Hope it comes soon as i'm gagging to have a go as well Eddie.

some maybe slight cross wires here.

the eLycan, is a different bike to the Macina Lycan.

the eLycan is the Panasonic drive bike, the Macina Lycan is the Bosch bike.

 

[martin@onbike]

The eLycan is lovely too...but it's the Macina Lycan we have on pre order.
We'll have 2 eStyle p low-step bikes soon for those wanting to try the Panasonic rear hub drive.

Perhaps the new motor is a bit quieter, I think I read somewhere it is supposed to be.

The extra torque and slightly different riding characteristics could be suited to mountain biking.

can't see the motor

 

[KTM Bike Industries UK]

its a hub drive... the same as this one on the eCross P

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/media/ktm-ecross-p.144/

the hub is pretty small, because the system has been designed to keep the wheel weight as low as possible. Lots of the technology other brands put in the hub, we've put in the compartment below the battery. This keeps the weight central on the bike which improve handling massively.

 

[trex]

is it the same Panasonic motor as in this video?

 

[KTM Bike Industries UK]

yup, although thats the 2013 one, so it has been tweeked slightly since that 1st gen model.

From the German forum; email from KTM to bike shop:
Production KTM Macina eLycan GPS+ was first planned end of May/beginning of June.
Due to problems with frame production, production will effectively start on July 16.

Just out of interest - what's in, for instance, an ezee hub motor that can be & has been, transferred in this bike?

Good question, I remember wondering about what Col said, also isn't it Panasonic that do that, and not unique to KTM as implied?

 

[triumph_st]

And in Germany the first Lycan GPS+ bikes are delivered to customers (without Nyon)

 

[Kudoscycles]

The London Electric Bike Company,www.londonelectricbike.com have 2, 1 for testing selectively to serious customers. Also 50 cycles up the road have the latest Kalkhoffs with impulse 2.0 motor,so an interesting part of the world to see the latest electric bikes.
