    New Bike - Specialized Turbo Levo

    Sort it out mab13, it's far too clean. :D Very nice looking bike, and unlike many, I suspect that you will be someone that will be both getting it dirty at the first opportunity, and also getting full use from the bike, come wet or dry . :) Being black and a pig of a colour to keep clean, a...

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    So did I the day that I sold the bike, and said that I'd never own another Haibike. :)

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    On that note, I recall Rob from Cycling Made Easy telling me that they had a customer that bought an expensive ebike to commute on and the first modification made to the bike, was to spray it with a can of matt black paint to make the bike look tatty and old. Rat bike look. :)

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    Not a chance. I can't even stand the sight of mudguards,saddle bags, handlebar gadgets etc as fitted to so many mtb's/ eMTB's, so certainly wouldn't fit a side stand. :D The old Haibike trekking had one fitted and it was nothing but a massive nuisance. Rattling around on all but the smoothest of...

    Nice one Chris. :) Certainly drier conditions than around here.

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    Think that I'll pass that one by. :)

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    I get enough smiles per mile to justify the cost of my bikes, and don't regret a second of it. Evenings such as tonight are priceless. :)

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Certainly a stunning location there Chris. I'm very envious. :) Out tonight playing with suspension settings. I've not been that motivated to ride this week, so time to get motivated and get back into the saddle. My playground stretching into the distance.

    Find me a Connex 15t sprocket

    First time. :) That was the site that I'd been trying to find, but couldn't remember the name of. For some reason it isn't in my favourites any more. Thanks for that. :)

    Find me a Connex 15t sprocket

    Possibly one for you here SW. As you know, Connex is my brand of choice when it comes to front sprockets for the Bosch motor system, but I can't currently find any 15t sprockets. All the usual purchasing haunts in Germany seem to be out of stock. I've just bought two Connex 16t sprockets from...

    Five MY17 e-MTBs (probably just the start)

    That is one of my pet hates about the Oxygen and Kudos range of bikes as well. Show either some proper off road riding conditions, and they wouldn't last any time at all. Having said that, I don't exactly see many owners of perceived e-MTB's using them for anything remotely taxing either. ;)...

    Five MY17 e-MTBs (probably just the start)

    Shame that they can't spell Macina.

    New bird.

    Another vote for the eRace-P It could well be the perfect bike for you.

    New bird.

    I thought that it was only men that thought and bought with their heart, not their head! :) 1.5k - 2k will buy the bike that you require.

    New bird.

    I'm afraid that I'd never consider any Oxygen ebike as an eMTB. eMTB style perhaps, but that is where I'd draw the line. By the sounds of it though, pretty much any trekking/mtb style of bike would suit your needs, so the above comment wouldn't be an issue. I would certainly agree with...

    How did you arrive at your eu decision?

    I had pretty much only one reason for not voting in, and that concern was with European law. After I stopped taking on board negative information, and actually took the time to research my concerns, it soon came to pass that I was being mislead, and this turned my out vote to a yes vote. I have...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    There was one other e-bike on the ride, but the lads that I was with are cruising along on these two lovely bits of kit. Other than on steep climbs, they usually always leave me for dead. Thankfully both of them had fitness issues, so I could chill for once. :D They are generally two very...

    2017 KTM news...

    Now on my wish list. :) Damn, just spotted the other models as well. :)
