    Do you cycle your ebike in the rain?

    My bikes main use is commuting so ridden in all weathers. I travel through a park so splashes through big muddy puddles & no problems.

    Battery cycling on & off

    so I washed my KTM Macina today. Afterwards I noticed the display was on. I turned it off but it came on again after a few seconds. I removed the battery from the bike and noticed that the LEDs on the battery come on for a few seconds & then go off again. The terminals looked clean & dry. Can't...

    Interesting programme (its been a great series, well worth a watch) Especially good was the last 5 minutes when they had members of the public trying various bikes. Everyone loved the electric Haibike :)

Terminals realigned & cover fitted it has been...

    KTM Macina - power cutting out

    no, never had odd speed displayed. I'm hopeful problem is resolved now. The shop found the plastic cover that goes over the battery terminal was missing.. They have cleaned & realigned connectors & a new part was fitted this weekend. Has behaved perfectly for 4 weeks now.

    CHAIN SUCK CURED BY FILING

    flipping the sprocket worked for me as well. I've gone through 3 chains in just under 3000 miles. Got one in stock now ready for the next failure.

    Bosch battery not fully charging

    Mine did this last week, was on charge all night but final light still flashing. Put it back on bike & showed full charge & has been OK next time I charged. Hoping it was just a 1 off hiccup
