    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Agree with most of this. At £1100 I would have had a closer look at offerings from competitors. At less than £900 I think it is a great option. If you can buy discounted gift vouchers through work (or elsewhere), you should be able to get it for less than £800. In terms of battery, I have...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    I have ridden Bosch, but not in taxing circumstances. (I liked it!) I have ridden Yamaha up steep hills so can compare against that - Yamaha drive hauls my 17stone weight up a 13% hill with a bit more ease than the carrera pulls me up an 11.7% hill. I guess that is the torque difference? I...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Yes. Mine cut out for the 1st time today. No big deal, but disappointing nonetheless.

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    I've not had it yet - but have only ridden it about 200metres! The battery does fit very securely in the cradle - no movement at all. I will update after the weekend when I've ridden it a little more. My partner had a Septmber 2016 delivered bike (animal display) and has only encountered the...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Good spot - I'd just found the same info! That is the same Display and "satellite" control setup that I have. Unfortunately the battery is still 11.6ah and the motor appears to be the 250W 50NM motor rather than something a bit more beefy! I wonder if they are all coming through like that now...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    I've just picked up my Crossfire-e - really disappointed to see that the Display has changed and no longer has the animals on! Does anybody else have this display? On the plus side, the display now clips off. Not sure if this is a 2017 model update, an old model or merely an aberation?! Has...

    Good value for duel suspension?

    The prices have now been adjusted to retail and no stock was available at that price when I ordered

    Good value for duel suspension?

    Quite - if this was a mistake (as I suspect) I wish the guy on the phone had just been straight with me - he told me it was a special offer and they had sold out of them all (2017 model!). Tried to sell me a cube with 400wh battery at 1699.

    Good value for duel suspension?

    Well funnily enough, none of the Diamondback ones are in stock now - they are all sold out until March - order cancelled :-( Back to the drawing board!

    Good value for duel suspension?

    Well I've ordered the hardtail with 500wh battery, CX motor and 11 speed shimano transmission for £1380. Seems like a good price to me...

    quick question regarding selling my hard seven

    One on ebay (albeit with 300 miles) just ended at £1242: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Haibike-/332003375393?hash=item4d4cf17921:g:OBsAAOSw8w1YAzUG No mention of how old it is though, but it did look excellent (I would have bid, but it was too bigh for me!) As someone who is in the market for a...

    Daimler Mercedes Designer Smart eBike

    Agreed. I rode the R&M Roadster at the NEC and loved it - looking to buy in the next two weeks, but can't stretch to full price for an R&M at the moment.

    Events: 15th NEC Cycle Show Birmingham: 23rd-25th September 2016

    I bought an advance ticket on offer and parked at my work's car park nearby - so total cost was 11 quid. I think charging 12 quid to park is an outrageous ripoff when you've already paid a small fortune for tickets. The show was worth it for me- but then I'm a mamil who is getting older and...
