it depends on what's available there. I was thinking in the direction of for example Tout-Terrain e-xplorer, idworx oPinion ET, Santos traveler+ or Koga e-worldtraveller. depending on your riding style these would fit the bill (besides the R&M) for the brands with which I've worked in the...

Correct, we do see a few of these bikes here. Thats why the police are now focussing on testbench tests for all e-bikes, to filter out the elegal ones. Just like they did in the past for the traditional mopeds. Problem with the "fatbikes" is besides the crappy bike itself, the max speed with...

For these "fatbikes" they are cheap non-conpliant e-mopeds which are used by schoolkids who really do not have a clue what the risks are riding how they do. It's not just Amsterdam, in the east there are a few citys who banned all e-bikes from the city center due to these "fatbikes". So there...

Gasgas is owned by KTM Motorcycles, not the KTM bicycles company. Gasgas was their attempt to enter the E-bike world. The steep decline in slaes and massive investment of KTM almost brought KTM to a chapter 11 situation... As far as I know, KTM closed the Gasgas plant in Spain and stopped the...
