    Carrera Crossfire E electric Road city bike.

    I had one of these bikes - they are trash. Avoid anything with a Suntour power system. I got the CrossFuse which uses a Bosch system and it's way way better. As for the cutting out you can restore the battery to power by pressing the battery button. Ask the seller if they have the charger...

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    Mine is a newer bosch I believe. The bike only came out a year ago. It's using the low end Purion controller. It shows battery level in bars and has estimated range remaining ( in whole miles ) trip ( in whole miles ) and total distance in.. you guessed it - whole miles. I'd rather know to...

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    I shall have a mess around on that - on mine there is no reset button. You have to hold down the +/- buttons together for 5 seconds to reset the trip. This doesn't affect the displayed range. I need to find my meter and measure the voltage too. I have measured the voltage. There are two...

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    Oh and thanks for the replies guys :) it's nice to have intelligent support. Regarding headwinds and wind in general - I had been wondering how much a fairing might help to flow air around me and my backpack. Obviuosly it's something that would have to be made as nobody makes fairings for...

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    The main thing causing my concern was that after a charge at room temperature overnight it was only saying 29 miles today before it got anywhere near cold. I coaxed 36 out of it by turning the system down to "tour" at 11 miles remaining ( I usually ride it in turbo and get 4.5 hours of...

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    Even though the bike is charged at room temperature? Does the system estimate range based on pprevious discharge rates then? I was expecting it to say the usual 36-40 range but just use it quicker in the cold. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy if the battery is actually fine :)

    Bosch Powerpack 400 losing capacity

    Hi, I've had my ebike about 3 months. I used it 4 times a week and usually run the batttery down to around 5-15 miles range remaining. When charged usually says 36-40 miles. However the last few days the battery has been on charge overnight as I often do, It's charged to maximum bars but the...

    Winter Riding

    Not at all, for your thumbs you have extra little "pockets" so yo can operate all the handlebar controls on a scooter. Like I say the only clunky bit is the pull trigger to drop the derailleur into a higher gear.

    Winter Riding

    I'm a Deliveroo rider so I'm out for extended periods in the winter months. For body I have a one piece thinsulate suit I had made specifically for me, I wear this under waterproofs. Boots I just use "heat holder" socks and good boots. Hands. Hands were the tricky one. I just could not...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    I agree - I think it feels lighter because of the better power delivery. On paper the crossfuse is 1kg heavier than the crossfire. Glad you got one too - it's the first Carrera I've truly loved :)

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Epilogue - Halfords took my faulty eCarrera Crossfire back. I did not get a refund but I did get a full price trade in on a eCarrera Crossfuse. The Crossfuse has a Bosch crank motor power train and is absolutely fantastic. I have put 1000 miles on it now with no problems. The battery - even...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Hi, yes, That was the first thing that was tried and why I had 2 brand new displays. But bad contacts can be simulated by simply removing the display and replacing it. If you do this you can turn the system back on right away. The fault displayed by my bike is such that you cannot turn it...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    So yeah, sorry for the short post earlier. I was on shift. 11 Deliveries in 4.5 hours on an average of 2.1 miles round trip per delivery. Today was a short shift. Tomorrow I'll be doing 11:30 to 3:30, 3 hour recharge break and then 7pm to 11pm/11:30pm depending on how the orders come in late...

    Hello again guys. Just wanted to let you know that the replacement motor did not fix the cut-out issue.

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Yeah I'm not convinced by the second cause either - I am doing that all the time too. Charge to Bike and the Phylion documentation says that overcharging isn't possible due to the smart bms. However the engineer seemed to think that might happen. So I repeated what I heard. The motor thing...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Absolutely, If it's that new take it in. Get them to replace the motor and see if it cures it.

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    I don't have any further update. When I got back to collect my bike with it's brand new motor in the back wheel the engineer said it was Suntour that make the motors. I'm pretty sure the specialist said someone else was the manufacturer but that's not really important. I will now test the...
