Don't forget the incorrect claim that it's road legal, and also the incorrect statement that the speed limit for an ebike is 15mph....

If it will do the claimed 60kph = 37.5mph - good luck with that!

My take....if you are willing to spend £1250 on a 1000 watter, consider a conversion of a bike you know you can get spares for,after all it is for 'off road' and will have a hard time...(tic) and use a conversion from distributor you know will also have spares and back up.

Sorry to say but the pannier looks slightly tacky/unfinished viewing it from rear position.
So for neatness the other bike looks better

True - they've more or less substituted £'s for Euros in pricing.
The bikes do look good though.

Yep! KTM Macina Race should be just under £2000. Really like this 29'er bike with XT gearing, 19kg. 18kg with 26inch wheels.....NICE

Ha ha ha...it is one fine bike.....Just wish it had a drop cross bar version (keep wife happy:()

a bit confused by spec, some say 11 speed alfina others XT. I think XT a better combination with Bosch drive. make sure you try a Bosch powered bike first though as they ain't no moped.....

Nearly bought a ktm egnition last year, seems to have disappeared? . Still waiting for ave to get back to me on their hybrid x11s. More german bikes that are overpriced , I love them .
