When I first joined this forum there was a direct speaking guy named EddieO and whilst he was outspoken with his views he was respected on this forum. Eddie hated heavy batteries mounted on the rear rack,he thought they should be mounted on the down tube. Eddie hated front axle power,declaring...

Kudos produced a bike named Eiger which used the powerful TCM crank drive motor hooked up to Shimano Alivio 9-speed gear set. The combination required understanding of how to execute downshifts under load,which has been discussed at length on this forum....basically you have to momentarily back...

Kudos is having a clear out of old models and ex demo models on e-bay...there is a Kudos Cheetah on auction at the moment,it has reached £276.00 with 21 hours to run. I will make an announcement every time we put on a new bike,if you can live with the odd scratch there will be some very cheap...

Browsing You Tube I came across these amazing US videos... 4409..,,7 police cars to detain man on electric bike....wtf It is obvious that the cops don't really know why they have arrested this guy,they have no knowledge of the local e-bike law but don't want to lose face especially 7 cop cars...

Whilst out in Switzerland I thought it would be interesting to visit a local e-bike shop. Immaculate small bike dealer in Sannen in the Bernese-Oberland. About 50 per cent of the bikes for sale were electric bikes,he was a dealer for Flyer,Stromer and Haibike....his cheapest stock bike was...

Recent deliveries have made me realise that there have been dramatic changes in the attitudes of these manufacturing countries. As someone who is closely involved in purchasing KTM from Austria and Kudos from China I am possibly uniquely positioned to view the recent changes. The Austrians have...

I have often looked at lightweight (less than 15 KGs),short range,sports bike derived e-bikes. I looked at the Freego Raptor at the NEC cycle show and couldn't decide whether it is a compromise too far to achieve the lightweight, The guys on the Freego stand told me they sold 300 units in 6...

Electric bikes are difficult to store or display without some substantial frame to support,because of their weight.Within the Rally Design group of companies which includes Kudos e-bikes there is a new business....www.zigzagtruss.com....the truss system has a bespoke designed e-bike frame system...

Simple question but actually everyone has a different answer. To my mind,a pedelec is first and foremost a bicycle, unassisted it should still be a nice bike to ride as a bicycle. The electric power should be an addition to assist up hills and should be integral into the bike,by that I mean that...

E-BIKING, DOING IT THE GREEK WAY! I have a love affair with the Ionian Islands, the group of Greek Islands nearest to the UK. These islands are about 100 miles from top to toe, they are green and lush (it sometimes rains). The northernmost island is Corfu and the southernmost is Zakynthos...

When I first saw the new KTM Force 27 and 29 models my initial reaction was that it was such good value that I couldn't see any reason why anyone,in the market for a top quality mountain style bike, would buy any other bike. Priced at £1699.00,it is very competitively priced. Available in 27"...

There are so many questions about the range of these popular water bottle style batteries. We fully charged the battery and used the bike in the 'proper' way,by 'proper' I mean using the PAS control dependant upon terrain,steep hills level 5,medium hills level 3,flat or slight incline level 1...

A guy came up to me at the recent Kent Show with a photo of his e-scooter,which he said could be ridden without tax,mot,helmet because it was a bicycle. He had a brief specification which clearly stated that the scooter could be ridden as if it was a bicycle. The weight was from memory about 60...

Next weekend Kudoscycles has a stand at the Kent County Show,Detling,near Maidstone. We will have every Kudos bike on show. KudosDave

The Tour de France through Yorkshire. Just wondering how many Pedelecs members were out watching? I must say when it came to Kent,some years ago,I decided it wasn't really a spectator sport. But I do enjoy watching it on the TV,it's a great way of seeing scenery that is usually in parts of the...

If you look back on this forum 3 years ago you could read about what people thought about their Storck Raddar electric bikes or Wisper,Batribike,Haibike,Raleigh,Ebco. Now there are new entrants into the UK market including Roodog,Moustache,Byocycles,3e electric,Ansmann...

Interested what type of bike people are buying...we are entering the fifth month of the year and the weather has been quite nice of late. Perhaps you could advise what e-bike you have purchased this year. Please not kits or DIY builds,just complete bikes. I am working on Kudos 2015 models and...

I am in Ragusa,South west Sicily,the city is 2000 ft up a mini mountain and every street seems to be a very steep hill. Having a coffee in the centre square I spied a couple of local guys who were photo shooting 2 e-bikes,with a view to setting up a rental business. The bikes they had selected...
