I think there may be confusion because of this: Ansmann electric bike kit from BTN, View Ansmann electric bike kit, BTN Product Details from Hangzhou Minrui Trading Co., Ltd. on Alibaba.com Ansmann is foremost a consumer battery company with manufacturing factory in China, from their website...

john, these are self certifications - manufacturers are free to make them as long as they can substantiate their claim (eg with an EN15194 test certificate issued in another country). I don't see the problem: the motor is German, the guarantee is German. Nobody makes a bike with 100% locally...

I am not sure he's bought the latest Bosch (small chainwheel), not at that price! No, this one is quite close @ 1,999 Euro, 400WH, could be the best value German bike at the moment...

he'll be on ebay alright but he's a sucker for badges - he'll never change. I wonder if he's got a second hand Haibike RC. I've tried searching all the current Haibike on 'sofort kaufen' - none has the same sort of discount.

He did buy it here. He's bagged a terrific bargain for that Haibike RC - nearly half price! is it not a used model?

AVE MH7 Price new: £2,000 Purchase date: 17/July/2012 My second hand formula gives today's selling price: £1,181 He puts expiry date in 28 days - can't wait to test formula.

you set the maximum assist speed on the LCD - the default setting is 25kph. Hold the + and - button down for a few seconds, the 25kph will flash. Press + or - to adjust if you want to. Press on/off to confirm. The wheel diameter can now be set. The default setting is 26". Press on/off to move...

The Rose support service seems like the right model. If the UK distributor cannot provide spares and technical support to end users, can't you buy direct from another EU distributor or KTM in Austria? you would surely get good support from them?

The present distribution model is not good. It's inefficient and wasteful because it relies on the dealers for technical support. It loads the dealers with too much responsibility. An average e-bike shop may stock as many as 10 brands (like a few I visited in France), there is just not enough...

it's not saving a few quid on dealers' margin is it? Buyingt the bike through dealership does not guarantee better service (I refer to the recent thread about bh), high specs don't mean easier to look after (see wissy's thread...

loss of capacity is meaningless without linking it to the number of miles the bike has done. Most Bosch bikes are bought for leisure rides, not enough miles to affect their battery capacity. In my personal experience of Chinese batteries, one cell in the pack fails before the loss of capacity is...

the most expensive component in a sub £500 is the battery. I have a French friend who bought a 400 Euro e-folder from Carrefour 4 years ago. It run faultlessly every day for 4 years, the battery is 24V 6AH. It lost its capacity slowly over 4 years but it did not matter much because my friend...

yes - the track is excellent, speed limited to 15mph, kudosdave's law: you cannot derestrict your bikes though.

dave, what do you think of the idea of a self build workshop at Redbridge 2014? members bringing bits that they no longer need but may be useful to others to trade?

do you mean this one? Here is one, in the cycle path... no wait he was alongside a bus and crashed into a mirror all by himself... it looks to me like his handlebars got caught by the mirror, causing the front wheel to veer to the right. I didn't think he had much time to brake. It could be...

probably not. there are quite a lot of customers reviews for your tyres on this link: Amazon.com: Kenda Kourier K-Shield Bicycle Tire, 700 x 40c: Sports & Outdoors

how about a workshop for self builders at Redbridge 2014? just think you could bring your bike to the show and ride home assisted?

coachmark, have you tried side byside hydraulic / cable disc / Vee? Hydraulic brakes are fast acting, proportional and easily have twice the stopping power of cable disc brakes. I only need to squeeze a little to slow down the bike immediately, they re-assure me. Vee brakes have good stopping...

hydraulic brakes are needed at speed over 12mph, especially to slow down quickly around bends.
