    My first commute - feeling hopeless :(

    Please try not to use headphones?! F you are new and unused to traffic conditions and roads it is best not to use headphones. you will soon start noticing the same good and bad drivers and they will get used to you if you keep a routine. I think wobbling at beginning is natural as you are...

    Best warranty

    The main issue was that Bosch reps said there was nothing wrong with the dials and so having followed their fault testing diagnosis checks there was nothing left to do but put up with this fault recurring, KTM UK would not replace (i think they agreed at one point?) under warranty so fault was...

    Best warranty

    Nope... Problem was not finding a box but was to do with the dial cutting out all the time and KTM not knowing what the problem was and the delay in manufacturers giving advice and correct information and the problem recurring. Snd yes the hassle sending it in a box when advice given to...

    Best warranty

    From personal experience I can say that the bike manufacturer's warranty is a waste if time and not fit for purpose. if the motor has an issue it would be Bosch's fault.. If it was the dial also Bosch. if it was the brakes then that manufacturer, gears then that brand manufacturer, rims...

    Kalkhoff Agattu For Sale

    I take it the battery is now too old to hold much charge compared to new? To help you sell perhaps you should link to any original specs and mention what power it does etc, gears etc? Ps.. Not seen it around Menai though!!

    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    :(. Sorry to hear about you beautiful macina... hope you make progress and failing that have some sort of insurance? I haven't on mine as they asked really stupid price each month which would be more in total than paying for a pedelec bike in two years!

    Puncture!

    These are the marathon performance puncture ones I believe... David would be able to clarify... Just ordered two of same.. (Allegedly lol). Now which tyres would keep a sharp nail at bay?? Which tyres for wintery wet weather.. Had noticed the slippery bit of late must admit... (Previous poster).

    Puncture!

    Thanks... I actually 'get' all that.. It's the things that go wrong and do my head in that are the issues. Cannot easily turn bike upside down due to weight but most importantly the actual Bosch dial which would get damaged. 'Take it off' I hear you say.. I dare not as there are issues with...

    Has anyone used this seller - ebikes-online.com

    I would agree with Martin. It is so easy for anybody to set up a website nowadays and make fake ones using anybody's name to register. Might be a legit site that givesyou a bike of sorts but.... (At best) but could well be a complete scam. NMany professional looking websites are regsitered...
