Hi guys I have the chance to buy this bike for £1800 under the cycle to work scheme. I currently have a Crossfire bike which I love. Any thoughts on this one in terms of performance, value, comparison to my existing bike etc? Looks like the battery is in the bike - any concerns? Many thanks as...

Very helpful re lights. I have ordered. Any suggestions on bottle cage?

I bought my crossfuse from Halfords and haven't regretted it. As others have said super quiet and great range. I don't think there are bolts for a bottle cage. Can anyone recommend an alternative? Also looking for some lights for daytime type use - not too expensive and ideally from Amazon - any...

I think the suggestion was the electrics wouldn't be covered. I'd be surprised if Bosch really are that fussy

Ah sorry - no its an annual policy which includes one of their bronze services and 2 silver services in the year -...

Hi all, Carrera Crossfuse picked up and ride home real nice. There was however some slight noise while peddling which didn't sound right so need to get checked. Halfords guy recommended £70 pa servicing saying it was a condition of Bosch warranty that your bike was serviced. I have until this...

LOL - no I put her under the patio.

So my new bike arrives Tuesday. Next challenge - get the right security. Its a Carrera Crossfuse and will be locked at home in a locked shed, left outside Lidl sometimes when I pick up the shopping and on the odd occasion elsewhere eg Newark town centre. Ideally I'm wanting a lock I can use at...

Gosh - I did start hares running! So as the OP I probably should share that after a few days of very helpful input from the forum I have gone for a.... Carrera Crossfuse. I was really torn and Woosh look brilliant and love the design and the speed of replies etc but ultimately I had just heard...

That's great feedback & just what I need to feel comfortable - this is all new territory to me!

Thanks Tony - may call tomorrow.

My question was on Woosh - was this a suggested alternative? I'm 5ft 8", 29 in inside leg so this bike looks too big anyway though thanks for the input (if intended!)

Woosh input in the forums is prolific and everything I have found is positive. For those following my search for a new bike I went into Cycle Republic today to be told the 10% discount voucher I have through work is not valid on sale bikes. I wouldn't mind but this is not what the terms &...

See my earlier post re trying to locate my first bike. I've now spotted this one and would welcome any thoughts from experts/owners

Thanks again Rob. Anyone recommend cycle republic or not! Anywhere else I should be looking? Cant see others doing a Bosch powered bike at this price.
