Hi trex, the KTM is pansonic powered, what would the percentage be in terms of power?

After much consideration and based on forum's reviews I've narrowed it down to final 2 bikes... KTM e cross, and Oxegen MTB KTM quality components used, build quality and brand heritage Oxegen, cheaper price (£1700), has throttle. Ideally I should try the bikes out, Bikeshed's location is...

I used to have a KTM Duke :)

Sorry, not meaning to mislead, I am only guessing its gradient, sounded I might have over exaggerated a bit!! :oops::D

Thats very nice! Any idea of the price range? Would you say its as good as the KTM hubmotor or better?

I'll try to find out the gradient tomorrow, I guess its between 20-25% ?

Thanks I re read your post 6, at the time I had no concept of what you meant by strong motor, I just thought the Bosch must be equally as good?? I now of course understand what you mean after today's ride Could not see the Oxgen MTB, can you find me a link?

Thanks for all the advises guys, your comments greatly appreciated! And I realised I spelt pedal wrong, LOL! Glad I joined this forum, or else I might have simply order a £3-£4k bike online, and might ended up in the garage barely used. I was going to try the KTM hubdrive today as the salesman...

Thanks for the quick reply Robf, can you point me in the direction of throttle bikes please. Although if I ride the bike gradually longer distance, I'll be able to build my strength up slowly...

Bikeshed has kindly loan me one of their KTM Macina Cross8 with Bosch Active drive for a week. Just came back from a quick half hour ride, must admit I am knackered(oh dear!!) My legs are like jelly. But I reckoned I must have covered probably twice the distance of what I would have done in an...

Ok then, spent the last hour or so doing more searches, rang a few places up. Cytronics, nothing for my Badboy until end of year, probably mean early next year? Price around £850 for the kit, but Cytronic said the hubmotor is 178w power only. Bikeshed Huddersfield recommend KTM ecross P, £2050...

Thanks i thought the bike show was in Germany? Could you give me dates for the NEC please? Does On yerbike in Preston also sell Haibike?

The moustache bike I like is from this shop, but its in Surrey!

Thanks Huddersfield is only around 20miles away, I'll give them a ring today.

Thanks guys, this is the beauty of a forum, vast wealth of knowledge, but now I know those hubdrive are better, could someone now recommend bikes with the above drive fitted, preferably bling and cool looking :D

Thanks oldtom, just checked the site, no badboy in there, but I am sure there's a kit for it, how much on average their kit cost? I will probably give them a ring tomorrow.

Thank you all guys for the replies, and I must admit that I agree with most of your comments. Test ride will be ideal, but the nearest shop where I could test ride the bikes is 200miles+ away, unless someone knows where I could test the bike out in the NorthWest region. I've looked at all of the...

Hi all, newbie here. My name is Kin, I am 50year old male, living in Manchester, 17stones, generally unfit. I bought a Cannondale Badboy last year, thinking of cycling to work to lose some fat, 7 miles each way, well I obviously overestimated myself, I did all of 4 miles, and it's been sat in my...
