    2014 KTM Macina Lycan details released......

    A sure fire winner, and along with the 'not available' Lappierre Overvolt, at the top of my wish list. David, are you going to be stocking this? http://www.ktm-bikes.at/en/bikes/e-bike.html?action=bike_details&bike_id=299&cHash=dfd53e632f8fa869d4fa1ee693b78bc9

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

    The South Downs are fantastic. :) Just a shame that it's a 25mile drive away. :(

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

    One for SRS. :) I got my backside into gear and popped down to Alciston for a ride on the Downs. I need to get out as much as possible at the moment so that I'm not struggling quite so much when I do the next Wiggle ride in a few weeks time. Not that it ever works quite that, as I like to stop...

    My new top speed.

    KD, if I'm able to get 41.7mph on 26" wheels running knobbly Pannaracer Fire XC off road tyres on the BH, then the difference doesn't appear to be that that great. I might have to lock out the front forks, swap out to the Michelin XC Roads in 26" x 1.40 that are hanging up on the wall, and...

    Our perfect combination

    I went for a ride yesterday evening and thought that it would have been a good one for you to have come along on. It was only a very relaxed 12miles long, but it was one of those rides that just felt superb. It was a lovely warm evening, the back lanes were empty, and other than wildlife, the...

    Our perfect combination

    Nice scene SRS. The stuff of memories, and also the perfect day. :) I'd loved to have seen the look on other peoples faces as you rode up there. :D Weather permitting, I'm contemplating going to Alciston tomorrow for a trip up onto the Downs. I only say weather permitting, as I want to get...

    The Neo Xtrem has reached it's limit

    Got to admit that I'm another who uses the expression 'cock on' :D

    Switzerland Will

    Which part of Switzerland are you from Will? The Lauterbrunnen valley is my favourite part of the World, and I've been visiting it almost every year for the last 27yrs. I've now many friends there, and it always feels like I'm coming home when I visit. I feel far more at home there, than I do...

    The Neo Xtrem has reached it's limit

    Or rather the limits of what I'm going to do it, although a pair of DMR flats are on the cards at some stage, as is a re paint to get rid of all BH logos and graphics. A 12ah battery would also be nice, but I certainly won't be buying one of those. The full list of mods is as follows. Deore...

    Punctures

    I must have had your share then. I reckon that since last July, I have had approx 20 plus. I can't imagine that any tube is going to resist thorns such as this. I'm a bit more selective though now about where I ride and have only had two so this year. With reluctance to add further weight to...

    E-bikes and Eurotunnel

    Possibly a dumb question. Are there any restrictions about transporting electric bikes via Eurotunnel? As in the bike being attached to a carrier on the back of a car. Unless I have somehow missed it, I can't find any info relating to this.

    My new bike

    Does it even have a battery to assist powering it?

    Haibike Bosch 2014 motor protection

    Excellent. :) I realize that it's derailing the thread even further, but as well as the above, I'll take a look at the woodlands around the farm where my workshop is. It wouldn't be as extreme, but they do hold alot of 4x4 and bike trials events there. It's just never previously even occurred...

    Haibike Bosch 2014 motor protection

    So do I. :) If you fancy some mud and water, I reckon that I know just the place. It is somewhere that we used to ride as teenagers, but the land was sold a number of years ago, and we then stopped riding it. Over the years I've got to know the current owner, and this thread has...

    Haibike Bosch 2014 motor protection

    . SRS that's brilliant. :) I might have to rethink our ride out!!! :D This is no way meant to come across as being negative... But adding those photos to your blog could open up a can of 'warranty worms*' if the unfortunate happens and water gets into a customers motor after following the...

    Delivery problems / Bosch motors

    The Lapierre Overvolt in both guises, are yet another bike that won't be hitting these shores for a long time to come.

    What Marathon Tyre do I need ?

    The Haibike came with Marathons fitted, and I can't find fault with them. So I guess that's a vote in that direction from me. :)

    How fast do you go downhills

    I hadn't realised until looking a few moments ago, that my fastest downhill speed off road was 27.3mph. It was at the Wiggle off road event a couple of weeks ago, and I can recall exactly which greasy wet hill that it was. The reason that I remember it, was because I couldn't slow down and was...

    Attitude towards E-bikes

    I have had exactly that conversation today with owner of a local cycle shop who has been selling electric bikes for over 25years. It was an interesting conversation of how he became first interested and saw the potential of them, and also how the cycle industry as a whole within the UK is still...
