Thanks Hoppy I have looked at these before online with my "interested" friend . It would be good if someone has seen or tried these I must admit to being a little sceptical looking at the spec and pictures of the bikes. Alan

Thanks for the reply Dave I can fully understand your current position re new models . It is always illuminating having a manufacturer/supplier putting over the reality of what is available and why!!!! Hopefully though its a 2-way process in some small way , you can gauge what folks are...

Kudos Dave I remember reading that you were considering a crank drive folder, any news yet or is it on the back burner for sometime maybe in the future. As a by the way I met up with an old friend who wants an e-bike , he tried my stable and concluded he wanted crank drive not a hub motor -...

Hi Rob as a suggestion buy an 18Ah battery off German e-bay I have just looked and you can get one for about 410 Euro + postage which is about what you would pay for a discounted 8Ah from the UK. Alan

:DBlatant riling sir! We have had no entertainment for all of about 12 hours Alan

AVE XH3-5-7 range is available in this country now and to my mind look rather tasty . Again its a question of support I have great confidence in my dealer ONBIKE to do whatever is necessary but if a part is simply not available there is not a huge amount they can do ( short of stripping off...

Obviously the kit is not immediately in the offing , but is it a reasonable possibility in the not too distant future or are you no longer looking at releasing this to the UK. David? Obviously you won't want to divulge too much ...... but a statement of intent would suffice Alan

Good one ..... I must admit that I was wondering what on earth is HMI when i read that post!!! Alan

I have just been reading through the thread on Justebikes and one of the last posters BobJ mentioned he had problems earlier this year with the Bosch HMI on his Haibike and others had a similar problem with KTM. I have just had a "surf " to see any references to this especially on German...

Not much evidence of this at all , I had the 24V Panasonic Centre drive for 3 years with derailleur and had no problem whatsoever, I feel sure there would have been an outcry from others posting about broken chains on this forum if that had been the case. Where there has been some discussion and...

I agree with the majority of posters , and have no problem at all with trade posts , also as previously stated the majority of such posts are very insightful and not blatant self promotion. Alan

103Alex1 A little confusing but its watthours not watts that you are quoting ie 8Ah at 36V =288Ah 11Ah at 36V = 396Wh From memory the batteries weigh 2.5 and 2.9 kg. for the 2 different sizes Alan

Sounds to me like another Bosch convert in the making. Alan

Hi Barry i too bought an AVE MH7 and am absolutely delighted with the bike quality and certainly after extensive testing of other drive systems am hugely impressed with the Bosch. My local dealer had an AVE XH3 in his showroom and it certainly caught my eye, far nicer than BH or KTM Cross . If...

You certainly had to twist the gear thingy on the Dahon Mu-N360 I recently owned, this was chain drive but i'm sure even the belt drive model needs twisting of the thingy. Certainly concur with Flecc's observation about losses in the drive system , it was appreciably worse than a comparable...

I know the Manifold Valley Cycle Trail, it follows a disused light railway for about 10 miles on smooth tarmac , however off the cycle trail a number of very small country roads pass and these would be the hill climbing gems since they are about 1 in 5 for about a mile to get to some agreeable...

Now sold admin. please remove

Certainly looks good , did you view the Macina 29 vid that showed up at the end of this one. Both the Grace and the KTM had the NuVinci gears and combined with the Bosch drive ....wow I had a Dahon (e-bay atm.) MU-n360 with the same rear hub its eerily quiet BUT perfect in an e-bike app...

Its a class better than the Impulse and the original Panasonic I have owned some and ridden others the Bosch is a very impressive silent unit indeed. As said before many motors can be stamped as 250 Watts but some are considerably more/less powerful than others

Thanks for the tip Dave , pm'd the guy. Bikes,property+ car destroyed by forest fires in July (Spain), at least we were in the UK. Alan
