The ‘magnet on the back of pedal’ method has worked absolutely fine for me on my Bosch Active Line Plus. No errors whatsoever! My bike is a Carrera Crossfuse with the Purion controller.

In which case, there’s no point me spending £200 for an all singing all dancing tuning device (such as a Speedbox-B) which can be switched ‘on the fly’. I will just stick to my magnet on the back of my pedal and the sensor relocated.

@wissock said the same. Without having checked the legislation, I will take your word for it. Shame, as that would have been ideal to be able to ‘switch’ between legal and de-restricted.

Glad I found this thread. I’ve been looking at different options for de-restricting my ebike but want something where I can easily switch between being de-restricted and legal. This appears to tick all the boxes and I particularly like the fact that when you first turn the power on, the...

I’m pushing quite hard and yes, it definitely does have to be in a low gear. I’ve not heard about the delivering 3 x what you put in before? If that’s the case, that only makes me lean even more towards the possibility of my motor underperforming.

Thanks for the responses. @Amoto65 I agree the Bosch is clearly the superior ‘quality’ motor but did you find the Crossfire considerably better on inclines? My Mrs, who is a rubbish cyclist and usually doesn’t go anywhere near as fast as me, simply cruises past me up hills. Surely the Bosch...

Having exchanged my Carrera Crossfire (Suntour HEC motor) for a Crossfuse (Bosch Active Line Plus motor), I was disappointed to find that it has nowhere near as much ‘pull’ up hills. My missus still has a Crossfire so I have done direct comparisons. The Crossfuse seriously lacks power compared...

Does nothing mate.

I also can't seem to do anything with any other buttons/combinations from the CABB/CABA 28.0 screen. The DAT CLR screen sounds promising though! I would assume the wheel size can only be set on the initial 'factory' set up. I read something to that effect in a 2014 Suntour HESC manual. If you...

Anyone know what this is? Got this screen up by holding '+' and 'info' buttons simultaneously (if my memory serves me correctly). One is from my bike, the other from my girlfriends.

I've recently bought a Crossfire-e on cycle2work scheme and Halfords did it for £990 as I mentioned it had only recently been on sale. They also gave me an extra 10% off as a gesture of good will! I've just ordered the female version for my missus (NOT through cycle2work) and they've agreed to...

Halfords have agreed to do the female version for my missus for £881 (£990 minus 10%). I sweet talked the female assistant manager originally when buying mine but she had to go the the manager and he ultimately agreed the price. I spoke to the manager directly yesterday and he agreed to do the...

In all honesty I simply mentioned that I saw it had been sold for less recently and they straight away said they would do it for £990 PLUS they had already agreed to give me a further 10% off the entire sale (inc. accessories). I may well be getting the female version for the missus in the...

Whilst I appreciate that anything above the standard (legal) speeds will decrease battery life exponentially, I can't help but think that just an extra 3-4mph would be so beneficial for my commute and the overall feel of the ride. I genuinely hope that someone comes up with an answer to get...

Manual for the current Crossfire-e Suntour system can be found here.... http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Downloads/Consumer/E-Bike/Owners%20manuals/250W%20Rear%20Motor%20System/SRSUNTOUR-250W-rear-motor-bolt-axle-standard-manual-EN-03-03-2017.pdf Hopefully someone will...

Sorry if this has already been posted but I've found the manual for the CURRENT Crossfire-e Suntour system...

Thanks footpump and egroover for your input. footpump - what cycle2work discount are you referring to? I've tried all my local Halfords and none of them have a suitable sized Vulcan for me to try. They've offered the Crossfire for £990 (which was them effectively price matching their own price...

I was just about to pull the trigger on a Crossfire-e today and the sales assistant asked if I'd seen the Vulcan yet... He wasn't very knowledgeable about either bike so couldn't advise me but I did hold off on the purchase to give me time to compare the two. I will be using the bike mainly...

Thanks for the info, Woosh. I didn't think it did as I remember from my test ride, when I was stopping for lights and trying to shift down gears as I slowed, I was fighting against the motor!

Price is certainly very attractive! My local Halfords have agreed to do it for £990! Another thing I am struggling to find a definitive answer for is whether it has hydraulic brake cut off/cut out? Surely this is a must for safety reasons?
