Hi, just joined

[Gruff60]

Hi I'm Gruff, I live in the Snowdonia national park, North Wales. Just got myself an E-bike 2 weeks ago, so far so good. The bike I bought is a Bergamont Revox 6.0 with a Bosch Performance line motor, ve!ry impressed with it so far. Been up the mountains here almost daily since I've had it, hills are not a problem anymore. Only one small mishap so far, the battery fell off whilst speeding down a very rough track, but all seemed ok when I replaced the battery. I'm not sure if its a design fault or maybe it was my fault.
Thanks for letting my join. Cheers!

Evening Gruff, and welcome

Bit of a sod about the battery, but if it's not happened since I'd look for someone to blame!

Hi Gruff, Welcome to the forum. I bought a cover for my battery and didn't click it into place on bike and it nearly fell off. Just double check it's secure before you set off.

Welcome @Gruff60 . Does the battery 'lock' into place on your bike?

You've got the best of backyards. Have fun.

Hi again, thanks for the welcome.
Hi Leigh, the battery does lock into place and has a key but I'm starting to think it was my fault, as I'm new to the bike maybe I didn't make sure it was sitting correctly. Have been back on the same track and nothing fell off....lol.
So I think Gaz and Steve are probably right, I need to check everything is secure before I go out. Nice and sunny here, so I'm off up the mountains again now. Cheers!

Had same problem on my first jaunt. I use a bungy cord for added friction to hold it in place never fell out since. I think the locking mechanism needs adjusting or bedding in.

Hi Danidl, thanks for your reply, I've had no problems since but yesterday I put a Velcro strap around it just in case. I still think it might have been my fault for not making sure it had clicked fully into place, time will tell.
Cheers!

Just realised I got the name of my bike wrong in my introduction, it should say it's a Bergamont e-rextor 6.0 with bosch motor.

you can adjust the mounts a bit if it is not fitting right the top one

Welcome to the forum, as others have said, you have an awesome playground there.

Have you done the Marin trail yet?

 

[Gruff60]

Hi, I was up there this morning, haven't done the full trail yet I prefer to go around all the lakes. I did 21 miles up there today, here's a pic from this morning.
