This picture is of Tony Castle's 'Nano' conversion which is street legal and would not have flown up that hill. But there are lots of Sparticle conversions that would fly up that hill.

Thanks for the video Peter. I wonder if a steeper hill is required to really find the 'best' e-bike. The problem with Park St is that it's more down to the rider than the bike - and that doesn't do me any favours!

I agree, great pictures and videos. Unfortunately my video camera battery was flat so I didn't get any footage at all. Just on the off chance Peter, did you take any images of my bikes (the Kalkhoffs) that I could use on our facebook page? I liked the Brompton that the original nano motor...

Should be on in the next 15 mins.

Juicy Bikes also offer decent bikes within your budget. Another option is to get a better quality bike 2nd hand. I am selling a Wisper 705 Alpino at the moment which is a very solid quality bike - although not really MTB style. My mum lives in Alton so I could deliver. Just in case you're...

Tim, I believe that the 26" model maybe an old discontinued model, whereas the 24" is still very much part of the range. This thread might give some background http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/10791-promotional-pricing-up-900-off-a2b-f4w-3.html or as Mike says, send a message...

I have the Magura HS11 Pure QR hydraulic rim brakes on my Kalkhoff Sahel Compact that now seems to be the standard fit on most of the Kalkhoffs. I find these excellent. They are supposed to be auto adjusting , although they can also be adjusted at the brake lever. I don't know how these compare...

I have Big Apple 2.15 (on my 20" wheels) and they're great. You can get not so big Big Apple Plus (added protection) now in 28" / 2.00. See Schwalbe Big Apple Plus at Schwalbe Big Apple Plus at a low price in the online bike shop www.rosebikes.com

Must be dangerous, even the dummy is wearing a crash helmet.

It's Batribike.

Great looking bike though.

Loved the translation "At various treacherous terrains can easily go through with the help of his stable operation. It is your ideal horse, which you submit to the mountain forests." Now that would be stealthy - pantomime costume anyone?

Are you anywhere near Enniskillen? The Sahels are the ones to try. Contact Kalkhoff Electric Bikes or one of the locations in the Republic? Kalkhoff Ireland

Ah, I read it in the earlier post but had forgotten it by the time I replied. Doh! A longer break then maybe!?

Steven, For serious off-roading the Haibike is amazing Haibike | Electric Mountain & Touring Bikes | Sales & Service But for 'soft-roading' on bumpy tracks and trails I can confirm that the fat Big Apples tyres do give a much greater feeling of security than the skinny tyres on the Agattu...

Apparently, so my wife tells me - The task tomorrow night is to sell stuff at the caravan and camping show. And one of the teams is selling electric bikes. Should be fun.

Jim, What do you think of the similar looking (and specced?) Kalkhoff Pro-Connect. These have just arrived in the UK for test rides. Kalkhoff Proconnect X27 50cm Of course as these are only just available here there are no reviews of these either - but they are more easily available for a test...

There has been much said about the relatively low gearing of the Nexus 8. I certainly find that 8th gear is just not high enough for cycling comfortably above the assist cut-off level. My 20" wheeled bike has a 38T chain wheel and 16T rear sprocket. One solution that has been mentioned is to...

I don't know if this is stating the obvious (and other replies probably say this already) but perhaps it's just that you are going too slowly at the point you changed assist level. If you were travelling faster (like the bike shop owner perhaps), the difference would be noticeable. I certainly...
