    KTM Kenny, the coolest brand ambassador.

    A good mate of Antony Gormley popped past today. After taking in an ice tea and chilling out for a while, he gave the KTM Fogo 271 the once over, but decided that it was just too hot for him to handle. KTM Kenny, the coolest brand ambassador out there. .

    A short review of the Rutland Cycling demo a bike for 48hrs offer

    I recently received a very interesting proposal, when I was contacted by Rutland Cycling, who wanted to know if I would be willing to trial, and to review their “Test ride an E-bike for the weekend” demonstration offer, and also to give feedback about the service. Not being one to turn down the...

    2018 Giant - E+1 SX Pro (Courtesy of Rutland Cycling)

    Giant Full-E Plus 1 SX Pro 2018 kindly supplied for review by Rutland Cycling Upon removing the bike from it’s box, I was reminded straight away of the ‘Marmite’ colour scheme that Giant seem to love inflicting upon their bikes. Great if you like 1970’s shell suits, but not so great if you...

    Maximum amount of words for a thread starter

    As the title. What is the maximum amount of words that can be written as a thread starter, before having to split the subject down?

    Best-laid plans

    Best-laid plans. I’m currently completing a very short review of a Giant Full-E Plus 1 SX Pro, (more to follow on Monday) and last night was to be a ‘real world’ off road riding battery test, Yamaha PW-X against the Bosch CX. The idea was to complete a pre-planned 19 mile off road ride across...

    Thoughts about this comment placed on the embn fb page.

    Does this guy have a point? It has me wondering... If the bike has a throttle then it is being mechanically propelled, but if it is being pedalled, albeit it with assist, then it isn't, as it the legs are providing the propulsion? :confused: The first part of the rant is pretty good though. :D

    I see that the guys at EMBN have good taste.

    Pedelecs that you like, but perhaps shouldn't.

    Legalities of use aside, there are three for me, the first being the Cheetah E-Hardtail. For some reason I liked the look of this bike the moment that saw it a couple of years ago. It wouldn't be on my list of bikes to own, but the simplistic looks of it really appeal. Now this really is...

    My favourite 12 photos of 2017

    That time of year again. Some photos chosen because I happen to like the photo, and some simply because of the moment and memory. A frosty start to the year. Against the odds. An early start to the day. Four that make me long for warm sunny spring and summer days and evenings...

    Orange 6 E LE Shortest review ever!

    A preliminary and end review of the Orange Alpine E LE (2018) all rolled into one. Shortest review ever! Getting one thing out of the way to begin with, I was disappointed when Orange first announced that they were building an eMTB. I realise that market forces have created the requirement of...

    Wave goodbye part two.

    The time has come to pass the Macina Lycan onto someone else. I think that I have only used it once since the last trip to the Swiss Alps back in July, the simple reason being that I just get more fun from riding hardtail mountain bikes, be that retro or bio, and now that I have the plus size...

    Something for the weekend sir

    So what is everyone up to in respect of sunny bank holiday riding? I finally found some time early this morning to give the new KTM Fogo 271 a first ride and shake down, in readiness for an early start on the South Downs tomorrow. I have a feeling that I am going to love this bike, and...

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    2017 KTM Fogo 271 I have long had a passion for hardtail mtb’s be them analogue or pedal assist, and have found the eMTB version through ownership of the superb KTM Macina Race, to make the perfect bike for wet weather/winter use. With the Macina Race now sold, it is time to introduce the...

    Wave goodbye and say hello

    Wave good bye and say hello. The time has come to sell the superb KTM Macina and to pass it into the hands of a new owner. As expected, it sold within seconds of me making my intention to sell it known. In the 16 months of my ownership, this bike has been utterly outstanding fun to both ride...

    Recommendation for a precision/jewelers screwdriver set

    Could anyone recommend a decent quality precision/jewelers screwdriver set? They aren't something that I use very often, but have just discovered that some of the tips are spinning within the holding shaft of my existing set of unknown brand. I've had the set years, and have stupidly lent them...
