Two things spring to mind . Is/was the plastic spoke protector secure. Cheaper ones dont secure particually well and can come loose and wedge between the rear sprockets and the hub motor. The effect of this is it jams the freewheel so as you stop pedalling, the cranks stop but the rear...

A general rule for me on any bike is to ride out against the wind, homeward with a tailwind. If the battery does go, at least you wont have as much resistance. The one thing I have found when pushing a battery to the limit, once I get to say 10% remaining, the rest falls off a cliff and it...

Be interesting to know. I'm a great believer in trying it yourself, I'll have a go at most things, I've yet to find any meaningful documentation on Carerra stuff.

Looking at your final paragraph regarding the charger....you can maybe take some solace in that a fast charger may well shorten the life of a battery compared to a slow one.

I assume you have the Suntour motor system on your crossfuse Kingsknight ? I must have well over 500 miles on my Crossfire, Suntour motor...and while its cut out on some occasions, not very often. Everything else has been brilliant..TBH, even at 1000 miles, if a bike hasn't been abused...

Members of another cycling forum may recognise my user name but just signed up here as now a fairly new ebike user. Formerly very fit roadbike user (fastish 50 mile rides were quite normal) but at about 55 I caught tuberculosis , pneumonia and a few complications through work which took me...
