Because Kudos is involved in so many e-bike test days throughout April,it was my intention to give more info on each event about 2 weeks in advance. However other members have expressed a wish to have more info now. The Manifold Trail cycling route follows the old Manifold Railway line from...

I am trying to organise a roadshow similar to our London Redbridge event and working together with a local ebike dealer bring our Kudos bikes plus other importers that may be interested up to the north. Kudos is adding KTM to its stable. We have identified the Upper Derwent visitors centre...

I have had my a123 packs for around 2 and half years now and keep them fully charged. Lets say I cycle them on average around 4 times a week (some times more sometimes less) which would equals over 500 cycles. My recent battery tests gave an average of 2.04 ah and the initial back tests in 2006...

It would be easy for us to add a softail(rear suspension),proper off road bike to our Kudos range to compete with the likes of Haibike but how many find such a bike attractive-it seems at odds with what I think an ebike is for? KudosDave

The councils are starting to provide cycling circuits. I have noticed new cycling circuits at the following locations- Tameside Cycling Track,near Manchester Middlesbrough Cycling Circuit. Does anybody have any knowledge of these circuits,are they suitable for test venues for ebikes? Any...

As someone who often has to fly long haul around the world,I have just noticed that KLM are offering feeder flights from Manston to Amsterdam and then joint partner agreements to the rest of the world. British Airways and Virgin seem no longer to compete with each other and these stupid air...

On a parrallel thread we were discussing throttles and EN15194. If a rider is disabled enough to need considerable use of the throttle to ride the bike,would it be a good idea that ebikes with throttles are available for registered disabled riders,supported by government grants and vat...

I received details of the East of England Electric Bike Rally 2013 at Great Yarmouth,based at the Sea Life Gardens on 15 June. Unfortunately Kudos cannot attend because of a conflicting commitment on that date. But we wish the organisers every success. Perhaps other ebike suppliers can confirm...

THE KUDOS 'AMBASSADOR' SCHEME Who would be interested in this scheme - Existing Kudos owners or Pedelec members considering purchasing a Kudos bike. So often mentioned on this forum and within many emails, both in my PM box and Kudos e-mails, we are constantly asked ' How can I look at...

As a bike specifier the position of the battery has so many pros v cons that there appears no real answer as yet. 1) Behind the seat post....this has the advantage that the length and therefore the capacity of the battery can be increased up to even 20 Ah,it has the disadvantage that the...

BAGB meet discusses the price, power and politics of the e-bike | Bicycle Business | BikeBiz

Finally the chinese have got the crank drive motor right and are giving very high torque figures,the Kudos Ibex TCM motor has 60Nm torque at the motor,however with a throttle this torque is too suddenly delivered and that is the reason we are nervous about putting a throttle on the bike. Our...

I am reading the Times at the moment,there is a review of the latest Honda CBF125 motorcycle....looking at the content of this bike with its engine,gearbox,4pot caliper brakes,fairings,fuel tank,lights,indicators,exhaust etc all put together in a teenage attractive package....128kgs for £2600...

If you look at the thread 'is dave having a laugh'-it would be amusing only there is a danger that a less wordly wise bidder will get scammed by these guys. There is absolutely no chance that you will receive from China a Kudos King bike for £375.00-the delivery for a one-off bike from China is...

At the recent London Excel Cycle show I found myself answering the same questions,us in the ebike industry have still a lot of work to do in educating the general population as to the merits of ebikes. Why do I want an ebike,bikes are for exercise and thats cheating?....well you may want to...

The new 2013 Kudos e-bike brochure is now available. We are particularly pleased with the result. It features all the Kudos 2013 bike range in East Kent seaside locations and some images of the 2012 Redbridge Cycling event. You can get a free copy by clicking 'brochure request' on the home page...

I was following,in a car, a bike with a tow trailer,with a child inside. It was dark and drizzle weather,the like of which is common these days. To be fair the bike was well lit and the rider had a very reflective jacket but the little trailer was so low that it was easy to miss it. With a...

I first saw this combined motor with a 2 speed internal auto shifting gear at the SRAM stand at Eurobike 2012. It seemed an interesting idea except that the salesman advised that the motor,to avoid sudden torque input,would not power up until the road speed exceeded 4mph. I notice there is a...
