2nd Slice of London Bike Show
Its time for our second slice of the London Bike Show. E-Bikes were a big flavour of the show and are clearly gaining serious momentum.
Bring on the hate, but E-Bikes are coming. With E-bikes having their own category in some race events they are clearly being seen as more than just a novelty. It seems that more and more cycle manufacturers are getting in on it and the more that do the more refined they will become. We will soon be bringing you some more info on what this means to the cycle world we all know and love, and whether you will be buying one!

Kask are the market leaders for road helmets in the UK now. Later this year we are going to be seeing their new open face helmet for MTB, if it’s as comfortable as their road lids sales will be huge. For 2016, a full face will also be coming to a store near you!
This new lid from Kask is road, but shows the way which helmets can be modified. This lid has ventilation which you can close when getting your head down on TT stages.
We have said this before, but we are saying it again. ProCore could change the way we all ride, flats are history!
This Cube e-bike is full carbon and weighs just 32lbs. In our eyes, this demonstrates just what is to come in the E-Bike World.

Brunton are famous for their compasses, these new charger units are a great extra gadget for any traveling mountain biker. If you need extra power for your GoPro, this pack should do the job giving you 4 times the battery life. You can also use it to charge your phone from.
Brunton All Day £40
The Pulse is just stupidly light, pick this up and you will soon realise that a few years down the line our batteries are going to be tiny! Really, this is just an emergency battery though, it will charge something like an iPhone 6 to give it around an 80% charge.
Brunton Pulse £30
The Revolt was a favourite, this gives your iPhone around 4 full chargers, is fully waterproof and bash proof! These products have an insane guarantee as well, break it in any way, and they will replace or repair your unit. Doesn’t matter if you drive over it in your car, they will honor it!
Brunton Revolt £40
This bikes pretty famous for all the wrong reasons, but thankfully with a good ending. Last season at the Bike Park Wales round of the BDS series the 44racing Diamondback team had two bikes nicked. Split for parts, this bike was found again and is now back with its original owner.
Datatag have a product at great value which we should all be using on our expensive steeds, check out their site for more details.
Charge Bike where born at the top of their game, fast forwarding with the next big thing. It’s been a bit quiet there the last few years, but here is a big change for the brand. This is a prototype of their 2016 Cooker, with 27+ wheels. All their bikes will be running this size, available in 3 aluminum models and one steel.
This is the very first proto, another is landing with them next week with angles which are way more dialed.
