    Riese & Müller Blue Label Pony Valuation?

    Thanks guys for taking the time to reply. I didn't realise a £3K bike would depreciate to £600 so quickly!

    Riese & Müller Blue Label Pony Valuation?

    Hello Pedelecs Community, Due to a change in our touring lifestyle I am reluctantly putting my Riese & Müller Blue Label Pony on the market, but am unsure what sort of second-hand value these bikes command? I originally posted on this forum back in May 2015 which led to the subsequent purchase...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Hi Elsie, Our motorhome door measures approx 70cm wide by 80cm high. Once inside through the opening the bikes stand up at a height of 90cm. The bike quest is quite something and took us several hundred miles and many months research to arrive at our choice! We did the NEC Motorhome show...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Just thought I would add the final chapter to this post which began back in May in our quest for two bikes to take with us on our Motorhome travels. Yesterday, we picked up our two new ponies from OnBike in Worcester and gave them a run-out at the local racetrack.....where else! I've posted...

    Bill, I seriously recommend that you take Jonah up on his offer. Excellent service, knowledgeable and sound advice without a hard sell. If you don't do any business with him directly at least you'll be on the right path.

    Hi KudosDave, Speaking purely from our own experience the reasoning for a 20" wheel was based upon the following requirements. We wanted 'proper' EU legal pedelecs that could be stowed safely and securely in our motorhome garage whilst touring. We did not want a folder (I don't trust them...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Having test ridden Kalkhoff's in Germany we were immediately taken by their quality and performance, and as such hired the Sahel Compact version from Bike Higher in Devon for a weekend to try out on home soil. I have to admit that they are very good bikes but having compared them against the...

    I thought it rather remiss of me if I did not update the situation regarding my opening enquiry and so would like to inform you all I have now placed my order for 2 blueLabel Pony's with the Nuvinci Belt drive. A comprehensive review has already been posted on the site here: blueLABEL Pony...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Ok, thanks. Just out of interest I note you have a KTM Macina Compact on 24" wheels. I know this may throw another spanner in the works...but if we could get round the space issue how do you think the KTM compares against my initial shortlist (24" wheel size apart!)? I see it too has folding...

    Thanks very much Martin. Just as a matter of interest will you be getting anymore stock in of the AVE MH-7 bikes, so we could possibly do a side-by-side test?

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    That's great many thanks DW. As a complete novice in these things can you advise me if there is anything particularly different in the model range that sets them apart? For example I note there is a MH11 but most dealers appear to ship the MH7. Thanks once again.

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Thanks for the info Dave. Looking at the AVE website there seems to be several variants in the MH series; do any of the other model numbers make their way to the UK shores, or is it just the MH-7? Thanks again.

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Thanks very much for the input Croxden. We hired Kalkhoff bikes whilst on holiday in Germany and were very impressed with them. To date we have not yet had the opportunity to try out a close competitor, which I think we must now do to be sure. Two of these bikes will set us back a tidy sum...

    Thanks very much for the reply Tim....very tempting indeed! I must admit that I was very much sold on the Kalkhoff; however, the recent bank-holiday online 'price-adjustments' annoyed me and I think you can read between the lines on that one!
