March 1, 201313 yr Also its the Bosch Motor ,400 battery and display with seperate finger operation which really interests me and as you have it on the Cross, any chance you can post a few piccys to whet my appetite. I haven't yet seen one actually on an e-bike and well its not as if i can just pop over with you being in Cromer. How this Hanslowmo..... [ATTACH]5203.vB[/ATTACH]
March 1, 201313 yr You stole my thunder By the way have you still got your plastic cover on your screen? Perhaps its just the picture?
March 1, 201313 yr Yes I have, think it might keep I nice longer, although when I bought my phone I ended taking it back to the shop to complain that the sound was not very good. They said have you removed the cover? Took it off and it worked a lot better! Lol
March 1, 201313 yr Author How this Hanslowmo..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]5203[/ATTACH] very very nice. that is the first that ive seen mounted on a proper bike (i think)- theres a vid on youtube with it on demo handlebars being shown off by bosch at what i presume is an ebike show which was the closest that ive seen before this vmt for that andy. hopefully electrifying can provide some thunder with piccys of the ktm cross with it mounted shown from different angles so i can see if it looks carbunklish or if it seems tight together on the handlebars,etc hehe, i got a happy smile on my face finally seeing the thing. once again ,thanks andy
March 1, 201313 yr How this Hanslowmo..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]5203[/ATTACH] Andy.. Half battery already! You've managed to do a few miles then since yesterday Hanslowmo.. Heres an angled one so you can see how it mounts to the bars.. (Sorry for the shoddy pic, just took it on my phone quickly!) [ATTACH]5204.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5205.vB[/ATTACH] Really impressive back lit display on the 2013 Bosch stuff!.. Regards Martin
March 2, 201313 yr Author cheers Martin, thanks for taking the time out to do it ,its appreciated. yes i do quite like the look of the system. dont think it will be that bad having only 4 as opposed to 12 modes
March 2, 201313 yr Hi Hanslowmo cheers Martin, thanks for taking the time out to do it ,its appreciated. yes i do quite like the look of the system. dont think it will be that bad having only 4 as opposed to 12 modes The Moustache 2013 range all have the new Bosch electronics,you can have a look at them on our website if you're interested - especially the MTB versions: moustache electric bikes Cheers, John
March 2, 201313 yr Really impressive back lit display on the 2013 Bosch stuff!.. I can agree with that Martin, ride home last night in the dark was very good. Nice to be able to glance down and see all the info without having to press a button to light up the display, and the remote is ace, switching from eco through to turbo is so easy! also the 'i' button to scroll through the display info, all without removing your hands off the handlebars.
March 2, 201313 yr [ATTACH]5210.vB[/ATTACH] As everyone has done an excellent job of the bike display I attach an image of our Macina Cross
March 2, 201313 yr Wissy that would spoil the suprise, and prevent you from having the honour of doing this
March 2, 201313 yr Author lol not necessary, all i requested was a few photos of the new bosch display and remote finger device on the cross so i could see how it looks on a maker of ebike that at that time i am interested in as i cannot make it to cromer and photos are better than nothing..you see the internet is great for shopping for what you know about and then purchasing as its cheaper than the high street. when items arent that common as in down the high street, you have to rely on photographs and user reviews when internet shopping. when items have perks and advantages to them, they become a selling point, something which helps sell the bike..ktm bike looks interesting, new bosch looks interesting, hmm wonder what they look like together, but i allready said that..all i am is a customer about to put his hand in his pocket. @electrifying cycles you never said, will you be getting the ebike (KTM Machina Race 26inch wheel with 48 frame) ANYWAY or will it need ordering in specially?

Hi Hanslowmo, If you require any more detailed photos please just ask I have the bikes here to hand. I can take any photos you want. As for customer reviews. Talk to AndlySlowCoach on here he has just recently purchased a 2013 Bosch powered bike and is in a similar situation to yourself, he may be able to help as his research took many months to get it right.. Regards Martin

My apologies. Yes we will be getting this bike in but not until mid April. There has been quite a bit of interest and 48cm frame size is covers quite a few different sizes. Let me know if there is any other question I can help with. Have you got sufficient photos, if not let me know happy to provide more.
March 2, 201313 yr Author cheers martin that is appreciated. situation i am in right now is that i am looking for a 2013 ebike, mountain or rough mountain bike appearance style with the new bosch system so it has the remote finger operation away from the main display. now lots of ebikes look interesting and first few replies i got, said not available until april..well ive now acccepted april so it should open up quite a few ebikes. im trying to stick with electrifying cycles because they were recommended by wissy in this thread. i did want the nuvinci with harmony option but looking at the velospeed site and their moustache bike, it is 300 pounds more expensive than a similar 9 speed bike with the Harmony being OPTIONAL on top of that. so a 2013 bike being advertised at a higher price but without its main perk. corr this ebike buying (and selling) world is very interesting. @electrifyingcycles great stuff as regards getting it in. i dont understand that 3rd sentence though-can you elucidate/extrapolate pretty please? also ,yes please i would like a few photos, may i call them general photos of the bosch device on a cross seen from different angles . not after detailed photos, im after getting an idea of how it looks on the ebike not how it looks. many many thanks.

Thats brilliant, Internet reserach is great, but to get it right, it would really be worth setting aside a day trip and going and trying the bikes out. I would suggest going to electryfying cycles, myself and a few others and actually riding the bikes. If you coming down my way let me know, I have a nice 10 mile'r locally through the woods and am happy to take you out for a ride, as long as you let me know in advance so I can plan my day for you. Like I say I have them in stock (while they last!). But if you had set yourself April then wait and do the rounds! Riding the bikes is the key! You will then know for sure! Regards Martin
March 2, 201313 yr Author i kind of get where you are coming from. unfortunately ive allready spent a nice little bit of money on a train trip down to London area to try a few ebikes . i simply cannot afford to haemorrhage cash that will come about with my travelling all over the country without end result. also my apologies but the price is too expensive- i was looking at 2.5 tops. i made a mistake in that i should have really added onto my original bike thread where i gave my limit. Edited March 2, 201313 yr by Hanslowmo
March 2, 201313 yr Could not agree more Martin. What this industry needs is more people to get the word out about electric bikes. With the right marketing messages there is no reason why we can not hit Germany's figures in the future. Are there barriers, yes but not impossible to overcome. We have been increasingly seeing more commuters buying electric bikes as well as the traditional e bike buyer.

Happy to send you KTM Race 26 bike and if you are not happy we will collect free of charge and refund cost (Within 7 days of purchase, simply keep box the bike was delivered in). Only other alternative is to visit us or someone else who has a wide range of bikes to try.

Agreed Ecycles.. Hey, what's more expensive a train ticket down to London; or a regretful eBike purchase?? Just an idea, but why don't you take a trip down to Dave@Kudos Cycles event in London (Redbridge) in early April. This is a great place to ride a big selection of different eBikes from different manufacturers. Its also in the perfect location; On a cycle test track! You could manage it all in a day... Just a thought.. Regards Martin
March 2, 201313 yr Author Yes we will order one in, if only so I can have the enjoyment of test riding it. On any Bosch powered bike we are so confident that you will be happy that we will collect free of charge if you decide you are not happy (within 7 days). just noticed you did say. my humble apologies and very kind of you not to mention the fact that you did say. funny thing is i could have sworn i checked before posting. oh well this kind of thing happens from big threads and posts from all directions. Edited March 2, 201313 yr by Hanslowmo
March 2, 201313 yr No problem, sometimes it is easy to miss when threads get long without spending a lot of time looking through.
March 2, 201313 yr Author yup i agree. there were several other posts before i had logged back in and your reply was last one on that page. the first post on the page when i logged back in(the next page) quoted a previous post from me and there was a few after. add several people's 'assisting' posts, you've got jumbalia yup i missed it. it happens

Regards Martin martin, another brilliant idea. its a cash thing though-dont mind spending it. do mind wasting it. will bikes be for sale there and able to be purchased (with credit card / cheque) then and there. if not, sure i could see the bikes but shucks its more expenditure without end result.

It's mainly a 'try before you buy' event. But hey, if you find your dream bike I'm sure and eBike supplier would take a card payment there and then.. It saves putting it back in the van That way you'll know for sure how each bike functions. It's a 100 times better than looking at pictures. Martin
