    Possible Haibike purchase.

    Thanks for the kind words GBCS very much appreciated and like to see some good feedback. I do put a lot of hard work into the eBike market - 7days a week 70hour weeks on average! ;) As for 350w motors, demand is not so big in Germany out of 400,000 eBikes sold annually only about 5,000 of them...

    Bosch crank drive whining help, please.

    Hi, Being well connected to Bosch makes no difference. The difference is where dealers are supposed to apply their time. UK dealers are reluctant to help people who have imported from Europe. Its obvious that if you make the sale you look after that customer. People moan that the market here is...

    Latest progress on cell upgrade for Bosch battery.

    Hi Pat, This is true on the newer 2014 packs. The old packs can be opened, still voids your warranty though, not just on the battery but the whole electrical system too. I know you have been updating me on this via the emails ElChampiero but how many man hours have you put into this to date...
