    Hi Guys, Topic already covered here - http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/16128-shimano-steps-ebike-system-news.html Also Trex, that is an old image you have pulled off google. The 2014 system is a mid motor. Regards Martin

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    Hi Ghoul, Yes correct wheel size makes a bigger difference on normal push bikes for rolling etc. But off road it makes a bigger difference in ride as to how well you roll over terrain. Deffo not a gimmick... It is different though. They do a couple of hardtail versions too -...

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    As quoted above the quality of these bikes really does stand out. I walked around the NEC looking for something 'Special' & something I would part my hard earned with (aside from a Haibike ;) ) The moustache bikes really were very well finished. In geometry, design, welding, format etc. Yes...

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    With regards to the specification, its a little confusing as I was referring to their 2014 line up of bikes with the new Bosch motor. I have the 2014 details here but Moustache does not yet have them on their website. The new prices are pretty good seeing the quality you are getting. They have...

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    Hi Rob, Thatll be the one in the picture on the opening post then? :) No gimmick there. Talking to the designer was very passionate about the design, had a lot of testing pre-production. It does make sense to have the rolling capability of the 29" up front and the maneuverability of the 27.5"...

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    Hi Guys, We are always looking to expand our electric bike range. At the NEC I wondered round all the brands on show. The Moustache electric bikes in particular really stood out to me. Seeing them in the flesh really showed the quality of the build. I was rather Impressed. Chatting to the...

    More on Shimano's new STEPS mid-motor e-system

    True Trex.. I am all ears for the new Shimnao system. Im hoping it will be great like many of their components. But on the specs already released, the Bosch beats it in Nm torque and charge time! Thats the only 2 real bits of info they have released. Will have to see in due course. Not that I am...

    Hub Drive or Crank Drive?..

    Ha thanks for the feedback trex, the electric bike buyers guide on there may be worth a read too :) Yes 15yrs is a long time but it was the best time span to try to explain the cost comparison. I wouldn't expect to keep a bike that long! Some of my regulars upgrade to newer models once a...
