The Schwalbe CX Pro cyclo cross tyres have arrived from Germany, and the weight saving over the original tyres is a massive 290g per tyre. It's actually quite noticeable on the front, and the bike feels much sharper. The narrow section is slightly worrying, but I'm sure that it'll be fine. I...

That's a brilliant scheme. :) A simple thanks is more than enough for me, but a financial incentive is even better. :D

David, besides my own interest, it looks as though I might have just steered someone towards the new KTM. He had thought about buying a BH, but we sat down today and had a lengthy discussion about what his requirements were, and I conceded that a mid drive system would suit his requirements...

Thank Rob, Hopefully the tyres should be here tomorrow, and I've already resided myself to the fact that the BH won't be repaired in time, so if nothing else, it'll be interesting to see how the bike performs. It would have been nice to have better front forks, but we all managed without the...

Despite the hassles that I have had with BH as a company, I have always been very quick to explain the merits and fun of general e-bike ownership to anyone that has shown an interest. The Wiggle rides are a very good example of this, and so far amongst many conversations about the bike, two...

Colin Furze is yer maun.

The climbs that are quicker on the Bosch are the hills with a gradual slope, rather than severe. The odd thing is that it never feels faster, but is. The BH scores on long steep climbs though, and on one particular 1 mile long hard climb, the Bosch is approx 3-4mph slower over the distance. Get...

Thank you Frankie. :) I get as much fun from personalizing and trying to improve the bike, as I do from riding it. I certainly miss it when I don't have the use of it.

The component spec is very budget. The forks can be bought for less than £50.00 and brakes aside it wouldn't cost significantly more for the rest of the components, and the quality of the bearings is shocking. The paintwork isn't great either, and chips incredibly easily. The motor and battery...

I can vouch for the Geared Dapu hub motor as fitted to the BH Easy Motion NEO Xtrem. Okay I have got through a couple of them now, but this is no way a reflection upon the motor. The first had a bearing issue, which was quickly resolved, and I'd image that they wouldn't let it happen again. The...

The next event in the calendar which is in less than a weeks time is going prove interesting with currently no bike to ride. I'm not holding out any hope that the BH battery will be back before the event, so with some reluctance I have decided that my only option is to use the hybrid Haibike. I...

Thanks for that link Col. I have done mine this evening, and the whole job from start to finish took approx 10 mins to complete. Rather than wedge a screwdriver between the sprocket and frame as I have seen carried out on videos, which makes me cringe. I simply applied the rear brake, wrapped...

The Surrey Hills certainly have some fantastic areas to explore. :)

As some of you will know, I have been actively taking part in the 2014 Wiggle/UK Cycling Events MTB series, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm currently without a battery for the NEO Xtrem, and it may well not be back to me in time for the next event on Saturday 17th May 2014...

"Light and fast". That could be an understatement. :) Just having a quick look, it only weighs 9.7kg!! It's also hardly surprising that the KTM Macina LYCAN 27 is attracting attention. It is possibly going to be the most desirable e-mtb out there for it's price. Top of my wish list.

Hi Louise, thank you for sharing your ride. Which model of KTM is it that your partner has? It looks a nice spec bike. :) As an aside, tell the powers that be, that they need to update the website photo for the superb looking 2014 KTM Macina LYCAN 27 It's still showing the artists...

I'm afraid that the following just reads as though anyone turning up will be presented with pressure selling after the ride. As a potential customer reading it would put me right off. You could have just stated that you are on hand to answer any questions and leave it at that. It comes across as...

Nice one Phill. :) That's a great achievement, and made for a very enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing it. :)

That is actually a very accurate statement of the system, and isn't one that I have previously been open minded enough to consider. I still prefer my hub drive, but the Bosch system is proving very useful as a way of keeping fitter than had I just had the BH. I'm sure that riding it in between...

Exploring sounds far better than "why the hell aren't the bridleways marked properly" :) It wasn't until I ended up at Sussex University, that I even had any idea that I had ventured in your general direction. It didn't even occur to me. I still have the Wiggle event to do on the 17th, but...
