    questions for KTM

    According to the catalogue published on Issuu 2016 Macina Sport 10 CX5 has Bosch Permance CX whereas http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/bikes/2016-macina-sport-10-cx5/ says Bosch Performance. I understand it is just a typo? Does Macina Tour offer a more upright position than Sport? Many thanks

    Retro or touring bike (crossbar) with a throttle & good on hills?

    Hi Recently I had an opportunity to try a Volt and I was very impressed. I am thinking of buying an ebike. I live in a hilly area so need a good climber. I would like a bike ideally below £1000 to use for very short commutes - max. 3-4 miles one way but part of the journey with a 4 year old in...
