    Looking for a new bike

    Thanks for this, though the Axcess website shows "out of stock" for the Exmoor2. I've sent them an email anyway.

    Looking for a new bike

    Hi everyone Apologies for the forthcoming lengthy post: I’ve been on here since 2014, when I and OH bought Kalkhoff bikes, a ProConnect and Agattu respectively, with Impulse 2 drives (promise this isn’t going where you think it is!). We also got a pair of Woosh Zephyr CDN folders. These were...

    Thinking of getting bike

    Kerry probably lives not too far from a city. However, it's St Davids, which is a teeming metropolis only in relative terms. The advice on here is often to "try before you buy", but for many of us Bob's assertion that "There are specialist electric bike shops all over the country now" doesn't...

    It's surprising how many people think "We've a branch in Bristol, that's the West Country covered."

    'Bike' car

    I've seen an ex-hearse down our way used to carry surfboards - made a change from the ubiquitous VW T4/T5 vans.

    You could argue therefore that you may as well bypass the "trade" altogether, buy your bike mail order and fix it yourself with the help of expertise gleaned from the internet. This is another barrier to ebikes going mainstream.

    Bosch bearings

    It would be a start if their dealer agreements contained a clause stating that a condition of being a dealer is that they will repair all bikes of that make, at their normal commercial rate, irrespective of original supplier. If someone had sufficient time and funding, I'm sure it could be...

    Bosch bearings

    Thanks for that. I wrote the lengthy post because I've seen more than one thread on here where the customer clearly has been denied his/her legal rights. I note your situation was remedied by your dealer effectively putting things right by you by cannibalising another bike. Legally, it doesn't...

    Bosch bearings

    It's important to realise that manufacturer warranties, if offered, are effectively an insurance-backed product which act to reimburse dealers for parts and labour costs incurred in delivering the warranty. This is how it works in mature industries and there's no reason why it shouldn't work...

    What will be the next major step forward

    OK, I know I'm new on here and haven't even bought an ebike yet, but here's my twopennorth: You're all barking up the wrong tree! The problem with ebikes at the moment is that they are a niche market, both customers and suppliers are essentially enthusiasts who are prepared to seek out the...

    Yet another big bloke with a grand to spend...

    Thanks for the info. I couldn't see an upgrade price on your website. I will say that I like the battery position behind the seat tube, it must help to get the weight lower down.
