    Battery unused for 2 years is now completely dead

    I spoke to my bike shop and there is a possibility Bosch might replace as a goodwill gesture due to lack of use and its management system turning perfectly good cells into a brick. But the shop will have to run it though a few tests first to confirm I qualify.

    Thank you... That was my fear.. What about freezing the battery ... urban myth?

    Battery unused for 2 years is now completely dead

    Hi folks Long time no speak. The last two hellish years and accompanying life changing events led to me not using my brand new electric bike...at all. I kept an eye on my battery for a while then forgot about it. Now, returning to the road, I find my Bosch 500 Lithium Ion is completely dead...

    KTM Macina Cross 9 - For sale

    Hi Fordulike, Thank you for the advice. The battery still does approx 25 miles or four days of my five day commute, so although the battery life has fallen, there's plenty left in the tank.

    CLEANING HYDRAULIC BRAKES

    What's the best method of cleaning hydraulic brakes. My front brake is moaning and grinding with a very high pitched squeal at low speed.. (not unlike a few friends of mine) :)
