After only having become a recent Himiway Cruiser I have a question. I have only completed a few rides and have charged the battery after each ride. That was until a couple of days ago, when I headed out for an 18 mile ride with three bars of power remaining on the console. 5 miles from home...

Hi guys, been a long time since I was last on here, but thought that I would pop in and show the new bike. A Hemiway Cruiser. Certainly not an uncommon bike in the US, but there aren't so many here in the UK. I bought it for my wild camping exploits, and just to ride something different. Here...

I have long had a passion for hardtail mtb’s be them analogue or pedal assist, and have found the eMTB version through ownership of the superb KTM Macina Race, to make the perfect bike for wet weather/winter use. With the Macina Race now sold, it is time to introduce the replacement bike, a KTM...

Rather than having a thread starter for the various make of bike, wouldn't it have made more sense to have just had a series of thread starters for each brand of drive unit. Bosch, Shimano, Impulse, Yamaha, Brose, etc. The rest is just cycle parts, so other than neglect and poor maintenance on...

Today saw the last organised event for me for 2016. I was riding with two other KTM riders, albeit with them on pedal mtb's. Todays event was 32 miles long, and unfortunately for me, I took a heavy fall 7 miles in whilst riding point. I fell on a blind corner at roughly 30mph and ended on the...

That is a question that I often hear asked on ebike forums. The following is just my take on the subject specifically in relation tooff road use, away from any metalled/tarmac surface. Looking briefly at tyres which is an all together different subject, many new eMTB's are supplied with very...

I had started this thread in the KTM section, but as the forum now has a dedicated eMTB section, it seems more relevant here. I have visited Lauterbrunnen more times than I care to remember, but last year saw my first trip there taking an eMTB. There was a specific reason for taking the bike...

With Court being kind enough to have added a mountain, trail section of the forum, it seems like an ideal opportunity to start a photo and introduction thread for those eMTB owners that use their bikes for their intended purpose of being ridden and used off road. I'd say that 98% of my eMTB use...

Well that's the carry with me kit all sorted for this years Swiss trip. :) The next week of waiting to head off, is going to seem very long. :( (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Unless I decide to play with the gearing, the sprocket won't be required. I'll also only carry one of the chain...

Just as a bit of fun, if you could choose just one bike to keep and ride for a day, what would it be? This was quite a tough one for me to answer, as there are actually two, but keeping to my own rules for the thread, my one choice would be a B4 Bikes E-Cruiser. http://b4-bikes.nl/ The...

I realise that this isn't ever going to be a bike that is destined for the US market, but it does use an XB5WXH 8fun motor, optimised for 185rpm. A short review of the 2016 Woosh Karoo http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?karoo Bike kindly supplied by Woosh. The Woosh Karoo arrived extremely well...

Now that the new bike has arrived, it seemed a shame not to take advantage of the situation, by entering it into my first event of the year. The sole intention of buying it, was to take the pressure away from the FS bike, and the associated maintenance that follows riding an FS bike. I skipped...

I smell new bike time again. :) http://www.flidistribution.co.uk/2016-ktm-macina-race-27-x1-11-cx5-p-2094104 I love hardtail MTB's and couldn't resist this special edition e-mtb offering by KTM. It has come at the perfect time as I have just sold one of my other bikes yesterday. :) I've been...

Something struck me today. The forum has a crazy amount of 116 topic headings, and yet no off road section. English, French, German and Austrian e-bike forums that I visit, all have highly active off road sections, so is it a case that US bike owners aren't interested in off road riding? It...

This is a modification that has been long overdue. I currently have the bike pulled down to give it a long overdue nut and bolt rebuild/service, and decided that whilst the motor is out, that I'd carry out two modifications. The first one being the fitting of a RockShox Stealth Reverb, chosen...

Hopefully okay to post? http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/news/giving/ .

Or it won't be at some stage over the next week. I've decided that I prefer the Intuvia system for e-mtb use. Nyon is sadly too big and bulky for my e-mtb use, and Intuvia suits the role far better.

(sorry for the photo size Court, I'll change them later) Wiggle Southern Rough Ride 2015. This ride yesterday was only made possible because of a good friend not being able to make it. As usual, I can't see the point of driving a distance to ride, only to opt for riding the shorter route. By...

Another new bike thread. :) After owning both the Haibike, and KTM Macina Lycan GPS + I have come to the conclusion that as efficient as they are, I still really enjoy hub drive bikes. With this in mind, I have decided that the time has come to go back to hub drive, and have just ordered a...

With the refund given on the BH and after a lot of hard thinking and comparing stats, I've just written to confirm my order for a KTM Macina Lycan 27 gps+ I wasn't overly fussed about having the nyon, but I'm not keen on the white/red colour of the non GPS Macina Lycan Plus. Hopefully the...
