    Bosch crank 'clicking'

    Mab, I've not heard of the "Bosch Popping" issue affecting the Performance line motor, but if you actually meant Classic line, then you can now request a new replacement motor. If you did mean Classic line, and you do still want to do the job, it only takes about ten minutes, from start to...

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I suspect that you already know the answer to that one. Unless personal choice dictates, I would say that any off road bike benefits from quality air suspension. In the case of a fat bike, the standard being Rockshox Bluto Solo Air. But you aren't going to get a fat bike for 1k with those forks...

    2 weeks! :eek: That's a weekend, or three evenings of riding.

    S-Pedelec 75 km/h*, 850 Watt

    Not really. I view bikes more as tool to do a job, and I'd sooner buy something that functions, and does the job that it is designed to do. The above bike doesn't cut it.

    Haibike sduro cross vs hardseven sl

    Still not as cheap as carrying out correct and proper maintenance. Those bolts only work their way loose, because of neglect by owners. No one can blame Haibike for that. There are only so many times that you can try to advise on preventative measures, and I'd rather get rid of a bike than have...

    S-Pedelec 75 km/h*, 850 Watt

    All show and no go. A failure of design over function. The Battery is too vulnerable to be of any use off road. I'd give it five minutes of loose road stone DH riding, before it calls it a day. Not much longer than this, in mud or water either. It would also need a very carefully measured...

    20" wheel Fatboy folder

    Now that has some good holiday resort, rental potential. :)

    Odd Bosch battery glitch

    Hope that this makes sense.. Two Bosch powered bikes, both with the same 400wh battery, but one of the batteries has an odd glitch with it. Bike 'A' can use the battery pack from either bike. Bike 'B' had/has a new battery which was charged and taken on holiday with me to use as a spare for...

    Have you figured out how to download the Strava app on to a phone yet? :)

    Electric taxi project

    You have to paint it yellow, and call the service Trotters independent taxi service :) Could be a winner. :)

    Which app do you use to record your ride?

    Mainly Strava, linked to Instagram. Pretty much all of my cycling mates use it, so mapping and comparing routes, and finding other local riders, is a bonus. The club function is also handy, as is linking Instagram. If the lads that I ride with were using Sports Tracker, then I'd equally be...

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

    The weekend starts here. An evening spent exploring some new routes.

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I'd say that the hub drive would make the bike more desirable, as I'd guess that the majority of owners will want a fat bike for cruising, a role far better suited to a hub motor. People also ride quads on muddy farm tracks, not pedelecs. If that is going to the selling point for Woosh, then...

    So from the below, it would a complete and utter waste of time Woosh producing one.

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I've seen several pedal only fat bikes at mtb events, and have to say that all of the riders that I have seen, have had no trouble riding the same terrain as a conventional mtb, and seemingly at the same pace, or at least on level ground. Cut down jeans, vest top, and tattoos do seem to be part...

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I spotted my first pedelec fat bike yesterday, which also just happened to be a KTM Macina Freeze. Whilst I still don't personally like them, and probably never will, I can see why they appeal to those living close to sandy beaches, boggy ground where low ground pressure is required, or in snow...

    I did the same. :D I was thinking what the hell is this guy on. :D

    Pedestrian filmed pushing cyclist off her bike

    A change, but didn't seem worth starting a thread just for this one clip. A typical cyclist with camera.

    Uphill Flow II video by Bosch

    I saw that a few days ago, and one thing about it stood out, which was the lack of hill climbing in it. Most of the riding shots, are either flat or downhill. I'm afraid that it didn't inspire me.
