    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Please forgive any image size cock up. I'm trying a new site. I've had a couple of night rides this week, but no opportunities for photos. This mornings ride wasn't really that great, as there were just too many people out and about. I much prefer night riding, when everyone is tucked up...

    Bosch Nyon Issues?. New substantial update: Jan 2015

    Indeed. It's a very common problem and is one that Bosch will replace under warranty. Mine was replaced very early on, but by that time I'd already decided to bin Nyon in favour of Intuvia. Bigclick and nashdm2, as said by Gigha, get onto your dealer about it.

    Well we've done it :)

    Must admit that Stu makes a very good point. Hoonathon and shredding trails as much on the ups, as downs, does make me cringe, and is perhaps a poor choice of wording for such a delicate subject. I hope that the point of an e-mtb to many an owner, hasn't gone sailing over his head. Shame that...

    Not in this environment. Tree harvesting, acid soil, deer, and even cows and sheep.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Just two from tonight's 4hr session. I didn't really feel up for riding tonight, but went out anyway. It was surprisingly bloody cold as well! We tried a few new routes tonight, which proved to be very good, but we also became pretty much lost at one stage. I certainly see some very odd...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    As Lumos has already said, suspension is obviously a factor, and tyre pressures are just as important. It could simply be that you are running them too high. There are other factors as well, and your own riding style could also be affecting things. It could well be that after having a 'few...

    Well we've done it :)

    As has said above. A brave but hopefully positive step, for all e-mtb's. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it. One of my pet hates about long term magazine tests, is that the bike quickly become like Triggers broom, in that almost every component gets changed, only leaving the...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I thought that I had made my opinion about dongles pretty clear. I'm not going to spoil this thread going over it all again. A dongle would also have made zero speed difference to me, in either of the above clips. If you look at the bike in the second clip, he isn't using the pedals for most of it.

    Slightly better. Two short clips that show that no rear light on the bike out in front, and one extra cree, make a big difference to the camera.

    what's this hole for ? ( Bosch classic motor)

    The biking weather is only just beginning. :) Willywombat, don't over tighten the torx head screws when you refit the. They only need to be pinched up. .

    2016 Haibike sDuro FullNine SL29....love it !

    There is definitely a common theme with Haibikes. :D Slackening the clamps and moving the bars, will make the riding position better, and also bring the brake levers to a more natural position. Also don't forget to install the factory supplied cable ties to any moving suspension part. Haibkes...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I reckon that you had a lucky escape. Not being that far from you as the crow flies, it certainly threw it down late afternoon. I'm off out again tomorrow evening, but it'll be riding around the Tunbridge Wells area, as there is some quite good sandy soil over there, that dries out pretty quickly.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I said that the movie clips were rubbish, but here is the best of a very bad bunch. Mud and rain spoilt the other clips, and as the evening became night, the camera seems to have made the bike light appear like it is hardly working. It was, and visibility from it was fine. I suspect that as...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I took a few vids, but the rain and mud has all but one watchable. I'll upload it later, but oddly the bike light looks very dark, which it wasn't at all. Nah, it's a KTM, not a Haibike. ;) I have just realised that I haven't re oiled the chain though after washing it. I don't want to go back...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Well that went quickly. Mud, rain, mud, rain, brilliant fun. No idea how many miles that it was this evening, but it was far enough that as usual I returned pretty much left showing. I even weirdly came across the lad that I ride with on a Wednesday evening. With ten square miles of riding area...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I've had that several times, and each time, I have been using the bike un-assisted. My friend that I ride with on his pedal mtb, always finds it rather amusing. I'm usually pretty chilled about it, but have had to bite my tongue a couple of times. The case being an idiot at Alfriston who kept...

    Bosch not working! Help plzzz

    I've also had two duff batteries that have done pretty much the same. They both showed full charge, but would only come on for few seconds before powering back down again, and shutting off.
