Recently on a speed awareness course as an alernative to points and fine there were folk who'd been doing anywhere in a 30 limit from 33mph and 48mph. My KTM eRace P is quite abrubt on its own speedo at cutting off at the 15.5 mark and on my other calibrated speedo it indicates at least a 1 mph...

I personaly can't see it being a problem if or until pedlecs become a problem like the scourge of incicidents involving mini-motos which can only cost from £100 or so - which were a bit more obvious by their appearance, sound and their cheap relative availibilty compared to push bike derived...

But are Bosch concerned about motors being derestricted once the warranty period expires? Of concern should be the parts supply chain for common component parts as you know (over two months for a rim) esp. for a still in production bike - anyway that's another topic.

What happens when the KTM is out of warranty? - Surely it shouldn't be a problem that the owner should be able to make any modifications they want to make. inc. performance enhancements. I know the German TUV system for motorbikes can be officious about owners fitting aftermarket mods and only...

A few months ago I popped into my local Giant dealership and asked if they had one of their new Giant Talon electric bikes available to test ride but all got was a blank look, much as if I'd asked for an atomic powered pushbike. Took my custom elsewhere...

46.8V / 12Ah = 562 Wh Col - Will the new larger capacity battery plug&play in older 2014 models? is the battery the same size and weight? The older 8.8Ah battery is giving me more than enough range and capability just looking forward a few years when it'll need replacing/upgrading.

Good point RobF - the KTM's charger is about the size of a hand and quite light so feasible to carry & charge up at destination. As a comparison with mixed eco/standard and high settings used on my 20 odd mile mixed bag journey it shows as 75-80% battery left.

Love it!

Have a search as I have a KTM eRace P 29 with a panasonic hub motor - Very torquey and excels at uphill climbs. It came with chunky tires easily swapped for more versatile and durable puncture resistant Schwalbe Big Apple Pluses. Get a test ride on a variety of bikes to see what suits you.

I got my motorcycle cover from this UK company http://www.specialisedcovers.com . Highly recommended - might be worth seeing if they can help.

Placcy things could be brake pad spacers presumably to drop into the caliper so when you have a wheel out to stop the braking action and pistons pushing out if you inadvertently applied the brake lever. I scratched my head when I got some with my KTM.

As the bar ends clamp on the outer part of the bar by an inch at most, can't the throttle grip be moved inward a tad so the bar end won't interfere with the action?

The expression on the face of the red creature she's astride says it all :) What happens if the beach balls get punctured??

Fascinating… ;-)

Fit handlebar ends like these for about a tenner.

Black socks!

When I had a test ride before buying at Redbridge I took ithe KTM a couple of laps around the mountain bike course that runs around the road circuit - I'm no expert but I didn't fall off or have to get off and push. Read up on it (there's a couple or three on this forum) and we all agree it is...

KTM eRace P with puncture resistant tyres fits the bill :) If you really have to remove the wheel in the field then all you need is a 15mm spanner, unhook some velcro, and disconnect two connectors - Simples

As a comparison my KTM was an ex-demo (milage 500 miles) - retail £2300 - I bought it for £1300...

If you can't shorten the range by going at least part the way by train / car - Sounds like a 125cc motorcycle would be better suited for your needs.
