Who said that? The point I'd make is that many other folders fold small enough to fit where they need to.

Later versions had a KT LCD3 display - easily available. It's shown in the Owners Manual here. That 3rd version dates from 2015 onwards. If yours is older, I have no idea what was used: You'd best post a picture to see if anyone recognises what it is.

Not in my dictionary. It means they are obsessive to the point of being blinded to the alternatives. Cheap e-bikes are sometimes cheap because they're not carrying and charging for a "premium" brand name - and nearly always they're not being made in Greenford London at £150+ per sq ft for...

There are literally 100's of credible folding e-bikes available - 95% of them cost less than a Brompton electric. The best for you will largely depend upon your height, your weight, what your commute consists of (train, bus, tube, tram etc), wether you need to carry it up stairs frequently...

My guess would be that Bosch assume a responsible dealer wouldn't do that, and ebike shop haven't told them. I doubt any maker would be happy replacing parts under warranty if there's a possibility they've been used beyond the parameters pre-set at the factory. You could always email Bosch...

Who are these people? There are many here with folding e-bikes, but precious few (any?) with Bromptons. There are many Brompton fanboys telling you everything you need to know about Bromptons on YouTube - Everyday Cycling has done some excellent content on both the standard and electric...

I bought the D11 instead of a D4S because it's a little bit lighter and I preferred the styling, but in all technical respects it's near identical to a D4S. IMHO the D4S is better value, and if money was an issue I'd happily own a D4S instead. I'd say the D4S is very sturdy and notably better...

I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other, but if you're erring towards a Fiido D4S, this may prove helpful from my own findings before buying a Fiido myself: The cheapest place to buy a Fiido D4S is (most often) direct from Fiido themselves; that way you're not adding a resellers...

Your 6-mile ride isn't demanding for any ebike providing you're not excessively heavy and you put in at least some effort. The D4S is a good, low-cost solid buy for around £600. It's been around for a couple of years and as the many reviews you've seen is fairly well liked. Unusually for many...

IIRC one of the manufacturers advised strongly against carrying ebikes on rear carriers. Although the advice was aimed principally at RV/Campervan owners, the reasoning was that road spray and dirt is sucked into the rear of the vehicle from a vacuum created by air movement over the vehicle. The...

It depends which ebike I'm riding, but generally I'll carry a (bubble-wrapped) spare battery either within a normal backpack or in a trunk on the bike rack. Works fine. No special bags or carriers needed.

I agree with that and use Muc-Off lubes too largely based on this video. As always, you could pick holes in his test methods and argue that there're other brands that get good reviews and maybe he should've included, but his testing approach seems reasonably sound. How much of your life do you...

You don't say which Assist model you have, but if you go to Halfords website, click on the specification tab, and check "Battery Warranty" for each of the three Assist models Halfords offer, the Hybrid model, the Step-Through model and the Crossbar model all say "2 years, 500 cycles". According...

I'm fairly sure your battery is guaranteed for 2 years/500 cycles.

What is it you find limited? If you wanted to change the controller/display, there would be better ones to use: KT controllers allow virtually all parameters to be changed and a choice of display.

It's infrared (IR). You can see it with a camera.

Questions, questions! I'm sure others will chime in, but if I still lived in Brighton, was working within a budget, and had been quite happy with decent second-hand non-electric bikes, I'd go have a chat with Brighton E-bikes and see what they can do for you. They're familiar with your terrain...

I'd be wary of doing that - the current draw given the load is such that something will overheat or melt! But I'm glad to hear you found something that (fork aside) suits your needs and budget in the end.

I knew I'd seen this somewhere! Raleigh StowEway Parts The StowEway controller has the same part number as Halfords Evo version: ABN410C001618, so likely orderable from Raleigh/ through Halfords. Same with the DP15 display. A dealer may need to flash the firmware though if you change any of it.

If there are only 4 pins, the inner two are almost certainly CanBus. There has to be a 5v supply, probably converted on the board then. I just couldn't see anything obvious doing that. Maybe others can see it?
