    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    So you haven't tried a 250 watt Smart eBike then, so talking out of the lower regions of your body! No mention of the high strength carbon fibre toothed belt drive or Magura MT4 180 mm disc brakes with recuperation function, but then you probably didn't know about that. The spare batteries are...

    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    Exactly what I wanted, I am too old to be dirty unlike some of young ones who are still at it. Not everyone is the same, we all have different wants and needs, I spent enough of my time in the dirt in the military, why on earth would I want to go back into a field to get muddy, I have been...

    Firstly I am not your friend, I am a fellow forum member enjoying a pedelec, so let's keep it that way! As for cost and choice that is down to the individual, I made my choice why slag it off, I have a stunning looking bike with a stunning colour and stunning components, if some people want...

    Maybe Mercedes were abiding by the law at the time unlike other manufacturers, as for the battery I think you will find it is superb, I take it you have a Smart eBike as you type your experienced comments!! Anyway as for size it's very large, err..about 14" x 4" x 5" :-)

    Listen, my knowledge is limited to the Smart eBike, I have no experience of other eBike manufacturers and have never claimed to. The only reason I bought the Smart eBike was that it did what I wanted and had a 2 yr warranty, I am not racing the bike I am using it it for rehabilitation, it is a...

    Don't try back peddling now you will just dig yourself a bigger hole, it was very clear you had absolutely no clue what you were on about, especially with this quote "It's questionable whether they even made your bike". I think it is clear for everyone to see where the arrogance is, well...

    The bike is made in conjunction with a small company called Grace, it was designed with influence by Kalle Nicolai. It's a shame there are a few people on this forum who are so bitter and negative arses, no wonder the industry is a mess. I have 2yr warranty with mine and by the end of that it...

    What an utter mess the industry is in, I bet people don't realise this when they buy an eBike, there is talk of warnings about fitting dongles, well there should be clear warnings informing you of the lack of assistance from anyone except your seller. For people buying remotely whether it be...

    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    I think if any manufacturer was to ensure only reputable dealers sold their bikes and had a flexible warranty service that could be used in any, and was supported by training the staff, followed up by speedy repairs, then they could be onto a winner, it would be a great selling point, peace of...

    Please may I apologise on behalf of the purported bullies, who if they put their mind to it can actually be quite pleasant as can be seen from their apologetic last posts. I can only give information on my Mercedes Smart experience, but I am looking for another bike so will look with great...

    See you can be pleasant if you try! The rear hub Smart eBike is as it was, there has been no new model brought out, the UK ones as you rightly point out were and are still 200Watt, the rest of Europe has the same bike but with 250 Watt, and in the US the same bike but with 350 Watt! It may be...

    Maybe big noses should not get stuck in and post things in threads they have no clue about. From what I have seen in other posts on this forum there is more than one person who thinks they can say what they want and if they shout loud enough people will believe them, but it may well come back...

    You said that there were no 200 watt Smart eBikes they were all 250 watt, so from what you are saying above, and from what you said in your previous post, you have no clue what Mercedes Smart are doing and just made it all up because of an old post. I think me owning one and having been at the...

    :-) I think you will find I am smart, look at the deal I got on my Smart eBike, albeit by mistake, but at least I'm sharing the good fortune as it continues to help others.

    Orange are impossible to find, I went for grey as it looks stunning on the back of my grey car, not that I even thought of that until I put it on :) But green and white would have looked odd. Yes all included VAT so its a cycle away price, no customs duty as in Europe, all EU brothers/family...

    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    Well that is very funny because when my new one had a problem the Mercedes dealer told me that they could not switch it there and then as they only had a 200 watt in stock, Mercedes sent a 250 watt the following day. Maybe I was lied to but speaking with the technician they could not have been...

    As I said I had no clue about this until a couple of weeks ago when I ordered one from Germany, I thought they were all the same price so price didn't matter, it was only when the Euros were changed I realised it was only £1,070 plus the 250watt motor, Oh plus the shipping with TNT that I have...

    Warranty is good only in shop where you buy the bike

    What is more remarkable is that my Bike was bought in Germany as I had no answer to my request for information on Smart eBikes from Mercedes in the UK, as you get routed to a central call centre and they feed you to dealers in your county, I had no idea that the one I went to with the issue...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    I have the answer, and that is going back to the very beginning, put the onus on the manufacturers to build bikes that are tamper proof and NOT capable of being dongled, EASY. SO I suggest that you contact all of the manufacturers and work together to come up with a way of doing this, it can't...

    BikeBiz story about eBikes.

    What about being free to sell what you want as long as its not illegal, what about people being free to put own a dongle if they want? Seems its all one sided as long as it suits the agenda. I am sure that anyone asking for a dongle sure as hell knows the implications of putting one on, there...
