    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    It was a question, not a patronising comment. If you dont want peoples advice, then dont come on a forum asking for it.

    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    Have you not heard of suspension seat posts ? They work just as well as cheap rear suspension, with none of the cons that come with cheap rear suspension. Plus fatter tyres and lower psi for an even more smooth ride.

    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    Obviously you're set on using this bike, so carry on, its you that'll be riding it. The cheapest kit, with a small 9amp/hr battery is going to be about £430.... so with the cost of the bike, you'll be around, or just under £600. If you're happy with that, go ahead. Can get kits of this price...

    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    Definitely not a bike i would use for a conversion, thats not to say it cant be done, but its far from suitable. Full sussers are heavy even before a kit is added, the rear suspension soaks up pedal power so the kit will use more battery power to compensate. But the main problem is that the only...

    Interesting news re Kalkhoff........

    Doesn't make much difference to me who stocks them...... i'd never buy a Kalkhoff. The problem motors in them has been a unmitigated disaster...... and i've never bought into this 'German quality' myth.

    2017 KTM news...

    Bit of a joke really to call it an integrated battery when they just make the downtube massive to swallow it up.

    Bit over the top isn't it ! But some of these dressage fans can be violent.

    Is making a horse dance really an Olympic Sport?

    Yes.... and not only is it dancing, but its crap dancing. Its more like a funny walk. Get these horses dancing properly, maybe a salsa, or even better breakdancing. A gurt big orse spinning on its head would be well deserving of a gold medal imo. As for it being cruel ! Cant say i really...

    New Bultaco Brinco R

    The trouble with the Brinco, is that it looks so obviously illegal...... I wouldn't want to ride it on any public road..... and i've never been that bothered about fracturing the odd law.
