I see "Macina Moto 29 GPS+ 45 - Bosch sClass MTB" appears in the list of bikes KTM is showing at the NEC.

BHs are known to go quite well (when they are going), so I can't see a 15mph restricted bike meeting your spec. How about the Oxygen Emate mountain bike? I had a brief go on one and there's no doubt it pulls well - more strongly than a Bosch bike. It has a throttle and can be derestricted...

"Do you know what I had in the back of the cab?" "A load of bleedin' batteries, that's what."

Seems to me selling the Burisch whole and building a speed pedelec from scratch might work out cheaper, depending on the cost of the donor bike. No worries then about compatibility.

Your round trip is best part of 40 miles which is going to be very tight on the batteries fitted to most folders. A Bosch motored bike with an 11ah battery is a possibility, but the only folders I know don't fold fully - I have one, an AVE MH7 Ebikes that are supposed to fold fully often only...

This is another example of assuming what is right for a pro roadie must be right for every cyclist. There are no hard and fast rules, but two riders with a lot more experience than me reckon 60 to 70 is about right for leisure riding of a hybrid/upright bike. Even in pro roadie circles, the...

A crusty old Durham copper of my acquaintance reckons CCTV cameras are a good deterrent. But some of the thieves he deals with are experienced and can recognise a dummy camera or one that is not working almost by instinct. The obvious conclusion is CCTV is worthwhile, but make sure it's...

A minor mud slippage incident turned my thoughts to winter riding. Neither of my two main bikes is well equipped for muddy conditions as they both have hard compound shallow tread tyres. I will be riding the same trails as I do now, but experience tells me it will be hard work staying upright...

I don't know your storage arrangements, but all ebikes are heavy old brutes. It would be a good idea if you could try manhandling one before buying. Doesn't matter which model, they all weigh about the same.

Tillson, You made two infantile posts before a wheel had even been turned in this series. You know naff-all about it, yet profess to pass judgment. You did the same in the Bosch thread bearings thread, lots of stupidly sarcastic posts, but no knowledge. I tell you what, I will have a go at...

I'm not particularly in favour of it, but we were told all the drivers turn the wick up and down on their cars anyway with a view to battery capacity management. One guy did an extra lap before changing cars, which meant he could give it full beans for longer in the second half of the race...

Tillson, Instead of spouting ill-informed garbage, why not do a bit of research? The social media 'driver boost' is gimmicky, but all it does is give a couple of drivers a single dose of extra power for a short period, rather like kers in F1. I watched the highlights of the first race and the...

Doesn't make a lot of difference, but - if this is the right bike - the battery is rated at 17ah. http://www.50cycles.com/electric-bikes/activity/impulse_ergo_xxl_i360.html

Some makes now use a clutch derailleur. There is reasonably firm resistance if you try to push the rear dearailleur towards the front of the bike. In riding, this has the effect of keeping the chain taught.

I'm no ebay expert, but it looks like the bike sold for £1,260. Still too cheap for it to be straight...

Well done for tackling those trails, not everyone could do it, me included. You mention fitting a prop stand in another thread. Most bolt on to the chainstay, which moves up and down on your bike. I think it will work OK, because the weight of the leaning bike won't be enough to depress the...

What a nice, helpful man in the cafe. Bet he wouldn't have been so keen to assist if you were Tom Cat rather than Tin Kitten.

That Cateye is a decent light, I have something similar made by Lezyne. Very neat, and the USB charging is handy. Note Evans describes the Cateye as having batteries which are 'safe' - that a veiled reference to some of the cheap Chinese rechargeables which have been known to catch fire. The...

Seems to me there's always something that needs fettling on a bike. The AVE started to rattle during my short ride earlier. It took me a minute or two to work out the prop stand had come loose, slid back along the chainstay and was fouling the disc rotor. Fortunately, I attended to it before...
