Thought I'd share this...
The Bosch Powerpack has been known to fail within the first few uses (fortunately, it's a rare occasion. Every dealer doing reasonable volumes of Bosch EMTB sales has experienced it). The fail is fatal - no LEDs, can't be charged, can't be read. Usually, these cases are...
Of late, heard my external Bosch 500w Powerpack making a ticking noise....was fully charged. An irregular ticking, but nevertheless, could be heard quite clearly. Dry, normal temperatures (not heat-related), seemed to operate as usual. Ticking seemed to disappear when Pack was below 50% power...
Last week bent the left crank arm when hitting some grass-hidden root... left the arm bent to the inside - to a degree that I could not spin the pedals round any longer. Wasn't even while shocks being compressed.
I'm starting to get really sick of this.... even after:
- changed regular crancks...
I was actually quite surprised to find out that there is virtually no protection to the connectors from water/debris. Two small screws, a light plastic cover (without any seals), with the connectors fully exposed behind it. I can only imagine that with any ride in the rain, these are being...

Next week, the bike (kapoho 271) is going in for a retrofit of the Kiox. Dealer has a customer who wants a Nyon, and I'm getting his Kiox that is/was factory-fitted on his bike :-). I'm not particularly interested in the added functionality, but I look forward to having a display that is less...
Had some experience with forums... and this one isn't doing things right I'm afraid. There are WAY too many sub-forums being created (one for each manufacturer??? How many will you make, 100? And, a non-ebike one? Why???). This leads to too many of them just drying up.... and once you don't find...
Hello All,
Since a few weeks, KTM has released 2019 e-bikes (such as the kapoho 2791), which seem to address some of the issues with the previous ones. Compared to my 2017 Kapoho 271:
- better brakes
- better fork
- shorter cranckarms
- higher Bottom Bracket
- (of course, intube)
But, these seem...
Hello All,
Since there was'nt much going on in the KTM section, I thought I'd add my imput.
Perhaps, KTM isn't as well known/distributed in the UK?
I started of a few years back with a hardtail Macina Action. Shortly after, all manufacturers went to more integrated styles (motor, battery), and...
Hello All,
I registered, in case I wanted to do more than read-only. And also because I'm generally interested in EMTB.
Started off with a KTM Macina Action, a hardtail with the egg-shape CX motor, and a battery sitting on top of the frame. This gave me too good a taste for e-MTB. And, because I...
