    New Gtech ebike

    Got off your backside and get to an ebike shop to try one or two, then you get one to one face to face advice on what it is you or your wife are after. At least you won't have to worry about what you may deem is an acceptable condition to send a bike back to a dealer compared to theirs if you...

    KTM would be a perfect 'fit' for these guys.

    6ft, 17 Stone and looking to commute 15-20 miles each way through South London.

    Vist, test, visit, test, visit, test, until you find the right bike. It'll be a 'hub' motor new with that budget which you may not like.

    The Best Electric Bike Shop in the World

    So the last 5 -6 posts have been negative. I think it's a brilliant idea, in my experience ebikes are not sold to existing cyclists and so the idea of 'fusing' the ebike industry with another market that is passionate about its hobby can only be a good thing.

    Pedrinho, when you say the front of your van do you mean the footwell of the passenger seat? Get down to Kudos bicycles in Whitstable to look at the K16 and the Secret, both lightweight and compact bikes.

    News: Gocycle launches entry level model for North America on Kickstarter

    Now I'm out of the 'game' so to speak I have to say the Gocycle (in my opinion of course) isn't 'worth' it. What is it? A compact bike? A folder? it doesn't do either of these very well...dare I say it but the Smart bike is better by far on price alone. As a dealer I had over a dozen tests on...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    In defence of 50 cycles or any dealer for that matter a nut can work itself loose and fall off, a bike being used in/on rough terrain will shake quite a bit....and it is only a nut and washer. For the record and for balance, I'm not a fan of owners of 50 cycles at all, I and other local...

    Are there 'gold standard' brands/manufacturers?

    Visit, Test, vist, test, visit, test.....keep doing this until YOU are happy and then buy that bike, enjoy and go out and use it. Do not buy blindly and take a complete strangers word that a certain bike is what you should buy. Everyone is different and no bike fits all, so get out there and...

    New Baby - KTM Macina Bold 2016 Model

    A very nice buy. Sold quite a few of these over the 3 years I had my store. It is a very 'solid' bike but the Schwalbe big apple tyres make up quite a bit for the lack of shocks. Get the pressure right in the tyre and they'll soak up most rough road surfaces. I'm a big fan of the KTM range and...

    Bosch Nyon Issues?. New substantial update: Jan 2015

    Ok, the Nyon system is absolutely 'crap', if anyone is looking at this system and owns a smart phone then I'd say forget the Nyon system. Get a decent holder for your phone and use that, there are so many apps that work far better then what the Nyon can offer and much, much cheaper.
