New Things from Kinetics...
Last updated on: 16 December 2008

Christmas Opening Hours: We’re open until (and including) this Saturday, the 20th - then closed until the 6th of January. Have a good holiday, and I’ll see you in the New Year ;-)

Brompton 2009 Changes: Brompton are making a lot of changes for 2009 - new wide-range 3-spd hub, new C bag front pannier and new matte colours, among other things. I’ve updated the price list, and I’ll add more info and pics soon...

VAT and price changes: As I’m sure you’ve heard, there will be a panic carefully thought out 2.5% cut in VAT. Unfortunately, the £/€ exchange rate is 4% worse than it was last week. So I’m going to keep all prices the same, sorry...

Small Clearout: I’m having a small clearout of a few bikes I don’t need - not a big sale, but there’s a Koga Tesla electric bike at £675 off and a Koga Founder S folder at £300 off...

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

Flevobike GreenMachine: I’ve got a demo Flevo GreenMachine in the shop - it’s a recumbent bike with a fully enclosed Rohloff drive...

Scorpion fs Full Suspension Trike: Available in the Spring, but preorder now - the Scorpion fs...

Extrawheel Trailers: We’re now doing the single wheel Extrawheel cargo trailers...

Brompton 8-speed Kit: I’ve been building new 8 speed Bromptons for a while - now I’m making an 8-speed Brompton kit to convert your bike...

B&M IQ Fly Dynamo Lights: In stock, the very bright IQ Fly LED dynamo lights...

Tyre guide updated: I’ve added a bunch of new tyres to the tyre guide, including the extremely puncture-proof Marathon Plus for Brompton...

Ixon IQ Front Light: The new Ixon IQ battery light has an amazing 40 Lux LED output..

Calendar: As a one-person business, sometimes Kinetics is closed while I’m at a trade show or (rarely!) on holiday. I’ve added a calendar to the website so you can see when I’m away...

New Hase Pricing and Options: For the Kettwiesel, Pino, Lepus and Tagun, Hase now offer Topseller (TS) bikes that are built with the most popular options, and are shipped much faster - leaving Germany within 10 days...

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