    KTM eRace P, first impression review

    The review of the P650 (same bike with larger wheels) in the Electric Bike Buyer's Guide says that it "can get bogged down on really steep hills". This is of course the problem with all hub drives compared to crank drive bikes. Have you tried it up any 25% + hills? This is the first time I...

    Grace MX or Haibike Enduro

    Both bikes are reviewed in the recent Electric Bike Buyer's Guide - they prefer the Haibike which is I think the general view. The Grace is newer in the UK so there wont be many about who have tried them. You might also consider the KTM Erace and Focus Jarifa Offroad which are hub drive bikes.

    Had a meeting in Launceston yesterday so thought I'd take the bike to enjoy the journey. 52 mile round trip and a beautiful ride. Unfortunately the camera battery ran out after a couple of photos so I missed loads of glorious photo opportunities.

    Truth be told Peter I was on my Brompton so I didn't even try! Now I know exactly were it is I will go back and give it a go on my Kalkhoff. I had been searching maps to try and find it but to no avail.

    Carrying stuff / Panniers

    This is what I've got and they are excellent. Halfords | Topeak Trunk Bag DXP with Straps They are available in many different sizes and places. I paid a lot less than this when I bought mine so if you're interested, look around a bit first. Mine fit with velcro tabs (which works fine) but...

    Padstow itself was packed like it always is. North Devon is much less busy and has a beauty all its own. Plus there is fantastic cycling to be had on and off road. Quite different to the traditional holiday spots of the South - which I agree are generally best enjoyed out of season. One of few...

    Lovely weekend. Did the Camel Trail yesterday from Bodmin to Padstow (and back along some very hilly roads including one of Simon Warren's 'Another 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs' at Bishop's Wood - 28% and 9/10 for difficulty according to Simon).

I have this bikes as a demonstrator for anyone in the southwest that wants to try one out. The X24 is the cheaper of the 2 models currently available and comes with an 11Ah battery...

    Recommendations for a hilly commute in Sheffield please

    It depends on the type of bike you like and the steepness of the hills. On very steep hills (20% +) a crank drive is best. The Bosch and Kalkhoff Impulse units are similar, the Bosch is available on more bikes but the Impulse system is rated better in some independent tests. If the hills are...
