I think this is what I'll do. I was weirdly willing to forgive it, if cold temps affected all ebikes. But it seems that is not the case. Back to the shop it goes.

Its not a case of "liking" it or not, im fairly indifferent. I don't care enough about the bike to be upset that someone doesn't like the bike or think it's any good. I was more annoyed by the unhelpful nature of the guy I was replying to. Saying "get a new bike" is neither helpful or...

Both insightful AND helpful.

Yeah, funny. I'll do that.... :rolleyes: But yeah, common denominator seems to be on cold mornings the bike's essentially useless. But a few hours into the day once it warms up, bike works fine. Odd.

It's three months old, like I said. Definitely something to do with the cold. I'll need to get it checked somewhere.

Hello folks. I have a Carrera Crossfire E-bike. Had it three months. Having an issue here. My bike doesn't work on cold mornings, totally dead. I keep the battery in the house at all times. The bike itself is kept in a shed outside. The screen turns on, there is never an issue with that...

How so? Nevermind, just realised. hehehe

Hello folks, I have noticed that the cassette on my four week old Crossfire E has started squeaking. I think it is coming from the Jokey wheels (is that what they're called?!) I think they might need cleaned. They do appear fairly dirty. I don't fancy removing them, removing the back wheel...

Just commuting, roads etc. Nothing off-road.

As the title suggests, im curious. Does anyone have an idea of how hard it might be to replace the suntour motor/display etc from the Carrera Crossfire, and upgrade it to something better? Would there be anything that I might not be aware of, that would make this very difficult or impossible...

That's quite depressing. I've definitely had a change of heart regarding halfords.

It just blows my mind that it isn't as simple as turning up and buying one. They sell the CHARGERS for batteries, but not the batteries themselves. Madness.

Makes sense though, I like that Bike shops are responsible.

Actually, I think number two of your message is the most likely. I did not stipulate neither did they ask if my bike is the latest edition, which it is. My plan is to head along to my local Halfords tomorrow and find out directly. I have heard of people buying them, just surprised me that they...

It's very frustrating , as it basically leaves me with zero options.
