If it was me I would buy a kit from one of the dealers who are on this forum. You will get a proper warranty and they stand by their products. Woosh and others sell good kits and Woosh will even fit it for little money if you are near them. Not all kits are equal and though nominally rated at...

Depends on the bike and tyres fitted and how well it rolls. I can get my Kalkhoff Agutta up to over 20mph on the flat but can’t hold it there too long as the weight tells when the road rises just a tiny bit. Just under that at about 19 mph can be held much better. The Kalkhoff cuts out at a...

Seems like he’s just doing some market research. Perhaps you should put up a poll KD?

They will be Woods valves. Youtube will have a video.

You don’t. It is technically possible to register a bike which has a 350W motor, but in practise it’s time consuming and very difficult, and only two people have done it and posted about it. The bike has to be made effectively into an e moped. The S pedelec class is not going to be allowed in...

I don’t follow rallying but Skoda did have a rallying division and I think may still do. Before they were taken over by the VW group they had a sporting side too and raced cars at home under the communist government. I bought a pre VW Skoda at an auction once when I was young. It was three...

Technically true, the first F 1 race was Silverstone in 1950 actually. But people talk glibly about GP motor racing and F1 as practically the same nowadays. Rather like many think that first division football began in England with the Premier League. So many people tend to use F1 as a shorthand...

Bit surprising that the tyres have lost no air in that time. The Schwalbe inner tubes are pretty good at keeping air in but all tubes will leak air over a period of months. I pump mine up every couple of weeks and they’re always down a little. I keep them at 80 psi for good rolling. You do use a...

The VW group owns Audi who were Auto Union, who along with Mercedes in the thirties dominated GP motor racing. Audi has been the main motor sport flag carrier for the VW group and has won at Le Mans many times as well as competing in other categories of motor sport. If an entry into F 1, or...

I knew an old boy who used to still put in over fifty miles in a day on an unpowered bike at eighty. I’m still a way short of that age but it was only because I live in very hilly country that I went for a pedelec. I was riding an unpowered bike up the hills around here a few years ago in my mid...

After a fashion. But won’t give the feel and control though the pedals of a TS bike, which exactly replicates an unpowered bicycle except as I said gives you the feeling of having bionic legs. I don’t know if you’ve ever ridden one but if not you should try. They are completely different. They...

Check out 50 Cycles site for Kalkhoff too. They go down to 46cm and have hub gear options on some models. Two year warranty too which is unusual, and Kalkhoff make tough long lasting bikes with powerful smooth quiet motors.

To quote: She definitely wants something which will assist rather than doing the bulk of the work. The TS system was made for cyclists who want help as they get older.

If she wants a natural feel and is fit and active then a torque sensor will give her that. Speed or rotational sensors will give the power programmed on the handlebar control just by turning the pedals, and at higher settings she will be putting very little effort in. But TS multiplies the...

Strangely enough I had grasped that. Still you can’t please all of the people all of the time….

Trex, have you been taking an advanced night school class in English as She is Spoke? With particular attention to the differences between sarcasm and irony?

Have you thought about taking classes? I doubt d8veh will like that you think he was seen off by KTM. Not sure quality of discourse was his area of expertise really. More his knowledge of electrics.

I think maybe the fear that it might be a killer device for tourists is behind the clampdown. Oops down goes an eighty five year old Swedish tourist, whacked by another out of control teen board rider on the pavement.

Your good name is perfectly safe on this forum. Because no one here really gives a f*ck about any of this. I tell a lie. You do, and so it seems does Yamdude.

But as the OP came back quickly and said he wasn’t why should she get involved? It was just a misunderstanding that should have been left there.
