You are a legend! I have tried all sorts of button combinations to do this. For the avoidance of doubt the secret is: Press and hold the "i" button for approximately 5 seconds and it toggles between KPH and MPH. This works for my "new style" (non-animal display). Out of interest did you get...

She could try visiting planetbike on the Pottington Estate in Barnstaple. They stock Cube, Giant, Raleigh and shortly Haibike. My cousin purchased from them and had a good experience - I understand they are happy to give test rides.

Assuming this is Crossfire-e it has two year warranty on all components (inlcuding the battery). I would suggest speaking to Halfords - they should have recorded the frame number at the point of sale. I believe the model is less than two years old, so it may still be under warranty even though...

Whilst you are at it, change the rear tyre for a Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyre - it will reduce the likelihood of having to fix a puncture out on the road. I decided to replace both tyres after my rear wheel puncture - I was lucky in that it was a slow puncture and I had enough CO2 to get me home...

Perfect - thanks! Just the answer I was looking for. S09P and S-LCD3 ordered - with luck will be up and running next week. Will have to dig out the soldering iron, but I'm more a software than hardware kind of guy!

Here's a picture of the wiring harness. Still on the bike so not hugely clear. From what I can see: a) 3 green "bullet" connectors that go to the motor. Yellow, Green, Blue All other connectors are Black Plastic Connectors b) 5 pin to LCD - Red, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow c) 3 pin to throttle...

I recently picked up a second hand Kudos Tornado which had a fault. Although the display worked, the speedometer wasn't registering and assist was limited to one level - the buttons on the display to adjust assist level appeared to have no effect other than changing the number on the display...

Does the S-Cross have a torque sensor? I do enjoy riding the Crossfire-e - the ride is quite "natural" feeling compared to some other bikes I tried in the sub-£1000 price range. The one thing you can guarantee is that Halfords will have a sale where you can get at least 10% off the price of...

Edge 200 is older tech - fine but lacks some of the refinements of the newer Garmin range. Edge 20 is the direct replacement for the 200 - it uses Glonass as well as GPS so gets a quicker satellite lock when you switch on (well worth having). £80 Edge 25 is the next one up and enables you to...

Thanks for the reply. The situation is always resolved by pressing the battery button - so the problem would appear to be within the battery. The BMS is detecting some kind of problem and powering the battery down. It's a shame there don't seem to be any kind of error codes stored that can be...

I have now done about 400km on my Crossfire-e - in that time it has cutout 4 times. Halfords solution seems to be to check the connections and see how it goes. My partner's bike also cuts out. It's an annoyance rather than a critical fault, but if I had bought a new car, I wouldn't put up...

No luck here with all combinations I have tried. I have managed to get a screen up saying "DAT CLR" though, which looks like it could put the bike back to factory setup (possibly an option to change wheelsize?) - I can't find any combination that will make it "OK" though. If anyone wants to...

It seems highly unlikely that Halfords would know anything. I know why you are asking - a mischievous reviewer has said it is possible on the Halfords Website without explaining how - I'm going to fiddle with all the buttons again to see if I can work out if it is possible. The 2017 Suntour...

Thanks for that valuable information - Crossfire-E looks like it uses all 6 slots in the base - which means this battery would not be compatible.

I was just browsing ebay and came across this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112208482435?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The battery casing looks identical to that for the crossfire-e (and has the same joycube sticker), but only has 10.4ah capacity. Is this a...

Has anybody out there swapped the carrera saddle out for a new one? Do you want to sell the old one? My partner loves the Carrera Saddle on her crossfire-e and wants one the same for her non-assisted bike - so if anyone can help me out for a reasonable price, please let me know.

Perfect - thanks! I've shortened that segment and will look to create some more this evening. And thanks Artstu - I've now joined the eapc club!

How do I find the "E-Bike Club" on Strava - tried searching but unable to find it? I've created my first e-bike segment - hopefully all is well - anyone who has done this care to take a look and confirm it looks like I've done it right? https://www.strava.com/segments/13675601 What is the...

Good point - Edge 510, 520, 20 & 25 use Glonass (russian gps) as well as GPS to gain a quicker lock - well worth having. A good reason to go for one of the newer ones rather than a 200 / 500 from ebay.

I would say it depends on what you are looking for in a cycle computer, and what your "real" budget is. I spent years mucking about with cheap rubbish and applications running on my phone before finally realising that Garmin Edge did everything I wanted. I started out with an Edge 500 before...
