New Things from Kinetics...
Last updated on: 27 January 2010

MetaBikes: A new recumbent company for us, MetaBikes are Spanish, and make a range of very light and fast bikes - many with equal-sized large wheels, and they weigh as little as 10kgs...

Special Offers: I’ve got a bunch of special offers - a Brompton folding bike, an AVD Van, Ostrad, Sat’R’Day and Toxy recumbents, and a couple of Tesla electric bikes...

Brompton: Kinetics is no longer a Brompton dealer - for more information, please see this post in the blog...

New R&M Frog: The Frog is back - now with much more practical 16” wheels, the Frog folding bike from the makers of the Birdy folds to only 18cms longer than a Brompton, and has a full-suspension aluminium frame. I’m also offering a Rohloff version...

Riese & Muller News: The Birdy now comes in a few more versions - a hybrid electric one, one with disc brakes and a Rohloff, one with an Alfine hub and disc brakes, and one which comes in just under the Cycle to Work limit...

New High Seat for Scorpion: There’s now a new higher seat for the Scorpion trike, 11cms higher with higher bars too, and it also fits the other HPVelotechnik bikes...

New Extrawheel Trailers: Extrawheel now make single-wheel trailers to carry panniers - lighter as well, the new Solo, Dry and Expert carry two panniers. Extrawheel Dry now in stock...

Hase Pino Demo Bike: There’s a demonstrator Hase Pino recumbent tandem in the shop now...

Brompton 8-speed: I’m now up to version 4 of my 8-speed Brompton conversion - neater, slicker, and simpler to fit than ever ;-)

Scorpion fs Demonstrator: Our fs demonstrator has arrived - the Scorpion fs is the new folding full suspension trike from HPVelotechnik...

Busch & Muller Cyo: We’re now stocking the Cyo - B&M’s new ultra-bright, ultra-small LED light...

Frame Repairs: I’ve been doing frame repairs for years, but I thought it was time I had a proper price list - of course, this list is just a start, almost anything is fixable ;-)

2009 Spirit Recumbent: HPVelotechnik’s Spirit now has twin 20” wheels, and it’s available with the BionX motor system...

Koga Signature Dealer: We’re now Koga Signature dealers - the Signature line is a way of getting a completely customised Koga bike...
