Well Woosh that’s something for me to think about considering I already have a full sus non ebike that I don’t use any more. The reason I don’t use it is because it’s a 26er and I changed to a 650b a couple of years ago. And Soundwave thanks for that info . Interesting and kind of highlights...

So having checked out the latest offerings from most of the manufacturers I have to say that I’m now in two minds whether to bother entering the world of full sus emtbs Main reason being the cost I think the bikes are amazing and very capable but are we still paying for all the research and...

Thanks for your input and welcome

They look interesting , but I don’t think I’d like to deal with any issues they may have. They are different however Thanks for pointing them out

Thanks Soundwave for that video It is encouraging that someone can now take care of the mechanical issues out of warranty and even has instructional videos showing how to do it yourself. Having now watched a couple of these my thoughts on buying tried and tested technology are reinforced...

Thanks for the replies I understand the importance of using a local dealer . Local to me are Haibike Specialised Giant and Orbea So quite a choice really . I like the idea of the tried and tested Yamaha and Bosch. The specialised models appear very popular despite a lot of issues , but maybe...

So it’s been a while since I checked out the bikes on offer from different manufacturers. I’m looking at full suspension emtbs capable of handling trail centre routes. The last time I looked the Specialized models were popular but had a few issues Have these been sorted now? I would be more...

Hi Does anyone know if the latest Yamaha motor fitted to the Sduro trekking 4.0 can be derestricted by the means of moving the speed sensor from the wheel to the crank in same way as on the older Yamaha motors? Thanks

My Haibike sDuro hardseven can be fitted with a double chainring and I would like to do this I would like to add a larger chainring alongside the existing one if that’s possible I have drawn a blank when trying to source the parts online I searched this forum and someone asked about this a few...

the ginormous bags fitted to bromptons are mounted on the frame not the handlebars which makes a big difference the switch kit is on the handlebars

That is all good info thanks I will now check it out

Oh well Never mind Another obstacle, Ha ha On the plus side I have been playing about with both my folding bikes to see which I prefer in readiness for conversion and have discovered that they are both not too bad as they are. I’m not saying that I won’t bother converting them , just that I...

this looks interesting no wires at the fold is a good idea

my brompton is an older model so the swytch kit for it is not looking like an option

that is a very valid point and i think it would make the front end handling a bit dodgy

I have checked out recent reviews of the swytch kit it does look easy to fit ,but there does seem to have been some issues with it. Noises coming from front wheel . communications with the company also seemed to be an issue , although to be fair they did come on this forum and try to resolve...

Thanks for that That is a very good point about the wires and folding points The dahon looks the favorite at the moment

HI, I have had a Brompton and a Dahon 20inch wheel folding bike for a few years I am thinking about putting a kit on one of them but cannot decide which bike to do it on. i feel that maybe using the brompton may turn it into something its not meant to be, but it is a much more user friendly...

thanks for the kind offer Eddie but i live in scotland , so not anywhere near you. like you have suggested i will continue to try different bikes. having ridden my emtb hardtail for a a couple of years now i was looking to change to full sus. there are some amazing looking bikes out there but...

Thanks Flecc for all that info. It is reassuring that motors can be built to a robust standard. I couldn,t agree more with your comments re hub motors. anyone looking to ebike without venturing too far off road would be advised to heed this. the downside to hub motors , as you are aware, is for...
