there are 2 dongles one for the evo display and one for the sync drive one.

the bike you want has evo display so you need that dongle.

dealers can and will void the hole warranty on the bike if they know you have fitted one so dont tell them anything.

and if that is ur real name then change it asap as they look on this forum and ur ******!

it depends on gearing and how fast you can spin the cranks but with what i got can hit well over 30mph on the flat @120rpm in bursts.

this also nukes the battery on any bike as you cant have speed and range.

but you can over take easy ;)

Hi James. We have been talking to Bike Base regarding your bike choice. If you are interested in the Wildcat, they will be here in 4 weeks now. We have one here in Sevenoaks that you would be very welcome to test ride.

James quizzed me about the warranty. You know about the Olympic Bike Park at Hadleigh, on red runs. When I said we don't guarantee for off-roading, I had to explain 'why not?'. I understand that the Haibike rep also said no. What would be your position on down hilling on one of your bikes? Would you guarantee the bike?

Specialized Turbo Levo HT Comp 6Fattie 2018

  1. Another day. Another bike that got recommended to me by Rutland cycling. Any opinions on the Specialized Turbo Levo HT Comp 6Fattie 2018? I'm going to test ride it on Saturday but any opinions are welcome! Keen to see how the Brose motor compares to the Yamaha pw-x in the Giant I rode the other day.

i have only seen a few post from ppl with brose Specialized brand bikes so hope the dealer is close if anything goes wrong.

as they was not impressed with the amount of time the dealers needed to take to sort out a motor replacement or other problems as they had not got a clue in the first place.

Ye 25mins away. Going to Rutland cycling on Saturday. They have an open day to test all their bikes. And they have loads of different models. I still can't see anything topping the Giant when it comes to the motor but I'll see on Saturday.

the range is 20 miles at 200mph tho, you cant have speed and range. ;)

I don't guess there's many places you could even do 200mph for 20mins anyway. You'd need 67 miles of perfectly straight road.

Tried a Cube bike today and tried the Giant again. For me at my weight nothing compares to the Giants syncdrive motor. The bosch cx on the cube felt like being powered by a hairdryer in comparison. So i went ahead and bought the Giant dirt e +2 pro. Should be in Tuesday.. Can't wait.
