    Returning my ebike to Decathlon tonight and here's why

    I know this is an old thread but felt some of you pedelecers ganged up on the OP unfairly. If Decathlon offer a money back promise (if you are unsatisfied )then he was perfectly entitled to return the bike despite the miles covered. I agree some of his complaints were very minor and easily...

    Sounds like exactly what i need.I wonder if a uk legal version of the HD model will ever become available. I presume that would be even more durable and take a huge amount of xxxt.

    can you change spindle length on bbs mid drive motors?

    Just to clarify..i am asking whether once you have a unit you can swop spindles to fit other bikes eg if you have a motor to fit a bike with a 120 mm bb (eg fatbike) can you alter the motor to fit another bike with a standard 68 /73 shell and obviously a shorter spindle?
