You ride through some tough terrain Eddie, what have you got on at the moment?

For anyone interested, I contacted Schwalbe UK about the new Marathon Plus MTB and received this reply: " Thank you for contacting Schwalbe UK. The 2016 range was unveiled to the cycle trade last week and is now visible to see on our website however stocks of some of the new 2016 lines are not...

On even the most modest powered electric bikes, you will not notice the extra weight unless riding unpowered. A lot of forum members use these, especially the road tread version. I can't seem to source the new MTB version yet. Probably haven't been released to retailers yet. When I do find...

Soundwave, you so remind me of Eddie the Eagle lol Note: The skier, not our Eddie ;)

Bet Ed's wishing that was 50mph off a cliff lol :p

That's good to know Tom :) I do think that Bosch and Yamaha need to have at least one fully equipped workshop here in the UK, to deal with any problems. Quick warranty turnaround would encourage customers to buy their products. Maybe they thought about it, but didn't think it was...

I love a bargain, but there's a few disconcerting reviews, especially from non German customers, concerning MHW Bikes. Not knocking your link soundwave, it's what this forum is all about, but I think members need to be aware if they want to go the MHW route...

You may have a very valid point there soundwave :D

I know they're a German brand and MHW is based in Germany too, but it's a shame that there is such a mark-up on Haibikes when bought in the UK. I'm still trying to convince the other arf that I need one for next Summer :D Very tempting to buy from MHW at those prices though, but I wonder what...

Windows 8 was never assembled in the first place for it to break :p

I would have thought the Windows 7 or 8 driver would still work with 10, as it's only a small piece of code for communication and shouldn't really need to change. I'm not Bill Gates though :p Do you know anyone who has had success with using 10 and the programming software?

Upgraded from Windows 7 and was pleasantly surprised that it is an improvement, whilst keeping everything pretty much the same, like you mention Dave. I was apprehensive about upgrading, due to a really bad experience with a Windows 8 based laptop, but I'm so glad I did. As for the Virgin...

SpezElec has mentioned that he's on a budget. A BBS01 will almost double the price :(

I see I see no reason why it won't fit to your bike with a standard 100mm width. Just be sure to fit the 'c' washers and torque arm. The kit includes them, scroll quarter way down page to see: Front wheel kit 'c' washers and torque arm

Firstly, welcome to the forum :) I doubt if they're Samsung or Panasonic specced cells, just generic Chinese ones, but as the controllers are conservatively rated, this won't be a problem. 13Ah is a nice capacity for distance too! The kits are incredibly well priced for what you get, and the...

If you bought your bike from e-bikeshop, then this link may help: https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/bosch-ebike-popping-noise-fix

Cable ordered from empowered too, thanks for reminding me, meant to do it weeks ago. Have you set your speed levels at 100% or kept them stock?

Aha, I'm only running Schwalbe Land Cruisers, which haven't got the best of treads for the muddy stuff. Plus, without meaning to sound rude, you're packing quite a few more kilos than me, so you've probably got more down force on the rear wheel to aid traction. God, I hope that wasn't offensive...

What on earth are you climbing with yours lol? I lose rear wheel traction, or my bottle, with the 750w before climbing ability! Just out of interest, are you running a separate watt meter inline, or going off the Bafang display?
