    Battery companies

    Never used them but they advertise a Bosch Powerpack 500 battery as 36v 8.7Ah, the genuine battery is 36v and 13.4Ah. Obviously at only approx 1/2 capacity they are not utilising correct capacity cells.

    Bosch Purion Display Issues

    Sorry but for clarification the issue is not holding the + button for walk mode. I know this is a general issue with people, but my problem is erratic + and - buttons causing no change in power mode or skipping two modes. Can be in tour mode and press - to drop to Eco but find myself turned off!

    Bosch Purion Display Issues

    Just out of warranty unfortunately. Yes I agree with the walk mode, good idea in principle but not thought through.

    Bosch Purion Display Issues

    Has anyone stripped a Purion display to clean the + and - button contacts. Mine seem a little temperament with a very small sweet spot, impossible to maintain contact in walk mode. Bosch say take to dealer to run tests/replace.... not very helpful. No obvious screws or ways to split the unit...

    Currently not riding due to a car "hit and run", left me with a new metal elbow! Cannot wait to get out again, but probably another 2months yet.

    Bosch CX motor change

    Thanks all for the comments. I am having the replacement done by the bike supplier but having checked the manufacturers warranty conditions it does state all warranty parts will be supplied free baring labour. So i guess the manufacturer isn't paying the bike shop, hopefully they will take it...

    Bosch CX motor change

    Hi just a quick query regarding replacement Bosch CX motor on my ebike. Has anyone been charged the mechanics time for the warranty motor replacement? This is what my bike supplier is suggesting, though have not picked up bike yet so not sure if i will get this bill. The same bike supplier...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Nice shot of Malham Cove there Keith. Bet you enjoyed the climb out from where the photo was taken. Have ridden it many times on my Whyte 46, its certainly a lung buster. Have yet to visit the area with my ebike, but certainly looking forward to it, all routes out of Malham to the north are...

    PRATT, only word that springs to mind. If there was any justice, Colchester Council would fine him for the bench!

    Help - Bosch 500wh Battery issue

    UPDATE Bike put on diagnostics and no error codes logged. Everything working normally now, so will have to monitor in future and hope condition doesn't re-occur. At least it is logged with supplier and Bosch now should it re-emerge later.

    Help - Bosch 500wh Battery issue

    Thanks for the reply d8veh. The battery was showing 3bars when I completed my ride, a short 10mile but stiff climb circuit from Sedbergh up The Calf and back. It was a cold sunny morning with light snow on the ground. I have previously completed rides of 28miles and 3000ft+ climbing getting...

    Help - Bosch 500wh Battery issue

    Following a ride yesterday I was putting gear away when I noticed my Bosch 500wh indicator lights were flashing. The first three bars would illuminate for about 2seconds, then go out for 8seconds, and repeat ad infinitum. Pressing the indicator button did nothing. Putting it on charge did...

    Suitable Bike Carriers

    Clamp goes around top tube and looking at pictures of Levo I still don't see an issue. Worth checking out anyway!

    Suitable Bike Carriers

    No, the Thule grips round or rectangular section tubing. I have a Whyte PRST4, Whyte 46 and a Mondraker e-crafty XR and they all attach securely.

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    Whats the issue with EX1???? My Bosch CX powered Mondraker ecrafty has never had a problem with the gears/EX1 mech since new and I have over 1500 miles on the clock. Last few rides in particular have been either snow/ice or mud bath but I have never had an issue, changes are always as sweet as...

    Suitable Bike Carriers

    Best bet is to fit a towbar, ebikes are a little too heavy for the roof or hanging off a flimsy boot mount. I have an estate so access to the back was important. I purchased the "Thule Velospace" which is a little expensive but is designed to carry ebikes or fatbikes. The rails accomodate the...
