    variable regenerative braking

    I noticed earlier that it appears that KTM have dropped the e Lycan P from the 2016 line up. It seems as though there is now only two Panasonic bikes in the line up.

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    I can't reall I got the impression that it was now more about hounding one dealer than it is about the motor. The thread could had been drawn to a close a long time ago, but the odd non Impulse II motor owning forum member seem to be hell bent on keeping the subject going. With four...

    variable regenerative braking

    Variable in as much as you can turn it on or off. http://eu.industrial.panasonic.com/products/e-bike-systems/rear-hub-unit-system used on a couple of KTM pedelecs, including my e-Race P

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    The ride didn't happen. I twisted my knee last night, and months and months of physio and careful exercise have gone down the pan, and I'm back to square one! :(

    Hung for a sheep or lamb.....

    This is one brand of bike that needs plenty of power to make it a viable buying option. http://b4-bikes.nl/ It would somehow seem wrong putting a little motor in, along with no hand throttle. Oddly, I really love the look of this range of bike, and would love to turn up on one at our local...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    It was certainly one of those days where you were too hot one minute, then too cold the next. As a whole the Downs were in good shape, but as usual, the places that were bad, were bad! I was thinking of you just a few days ago and your bees. The bees that have their nest behind the tiles of our...

    Who's Kalkhoff UK

    Here you go SRS, taken from another thread. Seems a very reasonable response to me. "However the guarantee that I can offer you that from our company 50cycles is as the UK Kalkhoff distributor is that we will keep you on the road no matter what. We have done this successfully now with 20000...

    Handlebar clock

    Just buy a cheapo Casio style watch from Ebay, remove the strap or some of the strap, then fix it to the bike with double sided tape. Job done. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Casio-F-91w-Style-Wrist-Watch-Retro-Digital-Vintage-BLACK-ONLY-/272081985837?hash=item3f5959a12d:g:i0EAAOSw0JpV6cGF

    Rideouts

    As flecc has said, plus there is also this very long running off road related thread for photos, write-ups etc. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/page-67#post-288316 The thread is posted in this section of the forum...

    One of the reasons that I don't buy cycle related magazines.

    Today's ride highlighted the fact that there is no possible way that a manufacturer can state battery range. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/page-67#post-288316 31.8 miles on the South Downs covered, and by the time that the ride...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I sort of headed down your neck of the woods today SRS. Very hard going in places, and you can forget Friston Forest. I ended up with both wheels locked solid with mud. The SD were actually pretty good, with just a few nasty sections. I stupidly also rode the RUPP that runs towards...

    One of the reasons that I don't buy cycle related magazines.

    I also picked up on the "up to" claim, and also thought that it is their 'get out of jail card', and that any purchaser wouldn't be able to pursue a case. Obviously, it still doesn't make such a wild claim right though. In respect of "expect" in the case of the CX motor, it is clearly wrong, as...

    One of the reasons that I don't buy cycle related magazines.

    The claim for the Yamaha motor is just as bad. "YAMAHA's 400wh BATTERY provides105 miles with the new ECO+ mode and 43miles in HIGH mode. The range is confirmed with your ride style on the Heads Up Display, and the battery can be charged in a couple of hours. Keeping you in the saddle for...

    Twice in the same day. :( Taken from the following link. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/20-off-festive-sale.22971/ "2016 also sees the introduction of BOSCH'S 500wh POWERPACK, Pushing you further than ever before, combined with the PERFORMANCE CX you can expect to see 133 miles in ECO...

    Looking to make my daily commute as easy as possible

    Cwah, that second link must be one hot bike. I just get this! :D dazza, I'm sure that you would have already investigated this, but have you looked into perhaps train transport to some other location which might reduce the onward/return traveling distance.

    One of the reasons that I don't buy cycle related magazines.

    Just noticed that the second paragraph of the article states the following. "tracking an e-mtb down for a test ride proved surprisingly difficult. After some extensive leg work, a Cube van finally arrived containing a Stereo Hybrid 120 HPA Pro 29 and a charger. Dan from Cube was keen to...

    One of the reasons that I don't buy cycle related magazines.

    I don't buy bike magazines, but someone gave me a copy of Mountain Biking UK, thinking that I would be interested in an e-mtb article that had been written by their journalist Jake Ireland. Both the following immediately caught my eye, and I couldn't then be bothered to read the rest of the...

    Nice one Sherman, good to see that another KTM is out and about and being ridden. 2000km is good going. It doesn't seem that long ago that you bought it. If I can clear a space in the van, I'm heading possibly off to the South Downs tomorrow, or maybe even the North Downs, then back to the...

    What was the best thing (non bike) you bought in 2015?

    I thought that I had some photos of it in action, but it appears that I don't. I used to use it to make two sizes of dowel, 1" and 1/2" The downside of it, is that it takes a bit of time and patience to set it for a particular size of dowel. There are two blades to set, and it is quite easy...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Hi Neal, the av speed from the section of VeloViewer that I showed is slightly misleading. Most of the rides have been ridden along side a pedal only mtb rider. There are a couple of higher ones in there which were ridden on my own, and also some in the 9-10mph bracket, which were ridden on my...
