He blatantly felt like saying he was talking bolux but thought better of it...depends on wether you want in or out as to wether he was.. Accusing him of doing so removes any objectivity in argument..just like in this one... Using this manner of speech reduces both situations to schoolyard rather...

Good post.. Wonder what we,d think of Boris Johnson if he stood up and said Obama was speaking bolux...unacceptable in real life..apparently ok on here ???

And I,m not sure a manufacturer/ trader should even be allowed to come on an open forum telling us the value of his products.. Ofcourse you think your bikes are great. You build them , or sell them. I,m not knocking them. I,m telling folk experiences I,ve had, selling nothing. What are you...

Its only bolux in your limited opinion. Saying folk are wrong, offering counter argument , has nothing to do with being aggressive. My experience folk who resort to such childish insults wouldn't do so in person and cant offer viable reasoning....so they resort to insults on their keyboard..a...

Which bike is more natural feeling than Bosch ( pre CX) ?? Power comes in gently, inobtrusive and only when reasonable force on pedals. Its smooth. Height of feeling natural. (I actually prefer Yam and CX but original Bosch is as natural as possible ??? Cant see argument in that ??? On the...

I,ve seen that, apparently the loophole is walk assist button, which if deployed can take bike to 6km/h.. Suspect if bikes were actually put under clode scrutiny many if them would be found either not to be pedelecs or illegal. Still surprises me on here to hear many posters openly ignoring and...

Whatever anyone's beliefs its simply out of order and extremely confontational to say a poster is talking bolux. We have a rule on windsurf forum ( for which I help moderate) where anything you say which you wouldn't on beach, or in pub to face of person you get a weeks ban. Ok , you might still...

Especially illegal ones.

No he is not. He,s saying it as he sees it..and having tried a few I totally agree with him. The bolux bit is saying bike feels more natural with power in wheel.... That writes off every motorbike... The power delivery with every cd I,ve tried is as poster says seemlesss.. I sometimes wonder...

I,ve only rode Bosch short distance si not sure, but would like to know exactly what you mean by taking cadence into account. Yes zero cadence switches system off on Bosch ( not sure it does on yam, I can put current into motor standing in static pedal ( but don't) Once moving why take cadence...

To produce any cadence you must supply a torque. Question is at what torque is motor triggered into action. On my yam cd that torque is very low but corresponding output will be low, if bike has gearing to use your low torque and motor,s low output all is fine. I don't think cadence has anything...

Proof of pudding etc... I,ve only done 300 miles in last month, so its not long term, but Yam CD has performed perfectly.. Tried Bosch CX yesterday and I honestly would have struggled to say which bike I was riding. I think the older Bosch system didn't feel as powerful initially but probably...

The FS hardtail choice is very much determined by type of offroading you are doing. Writing off either is a mistake. Both have advantages. In nearlly everycase the hardtail will come with better cycle parts/ front forks at a given price. If you aren't doing drops , crossing deep ruts and...

Keep an eye for demo days .. James Cycles had one yesterday at Ringinglow in Peak District. I tried a full sus fat bike with Bosch cx crank drive. Incredible climbing ability. In my opinion if you are wanting climbing ability go crank drive.. But don't take my word for it, borrow one. They are...

OP Very similar story in our house. After trying half a dozen bikes of various design ( hub / crank derailer/ crank hub gear) wife settled in a step through with Bosch crank drive and 8 speed hub gears . To be honest after trying this bike is was an easy decision . Great range, easy climbing and...

Go at your own pace and enjoy it. Going out with younger,fitter folk who might want to prove point can be a problem. If you go out with them again make sure you know route and its length before hand..set your bike to maintain help throughout , and put plenty of air in tyres.( helps range, even...

I suspect once you,ve had any amount of time on an ebike mtb ( especially cd) you,ll find ordinary very hard work. You can train and work hard on ebike but you develop different physically...its more cardio and less fast twitch...I,ve lost 6lbs on ebike in under a month and resting heart rate...

That's a great idea ! On a serios note, you shouldn't go much over 25 psi on fat tyres...should be adequate for road... Off road will be down at 10ish... Loads of force on walls / tyre with high pressure in fat tyres.

What pressure you running in them ?
