    Parts advice please..

    Rear wheel kit needs to be a cst motor kit to take you splined 9spd cassette. You will need to file the rear dropouts for the axle to sit 3 or 4mm deeper.

    Recommend me a conversion kit

    Any hub kit will usually need the drop outs to be filed or dremmelled 3 or 4mm deeper, otherwise electrically everything is just pug and paly connection wise. Kits are ok between use, it's the battery that needs looking after. Don't leave it standing long ( months on end) fully charged or...

    Suspension Seatposts

    I haven't had a look for spares for a couple of years now as I had a batch machined up for me, I notice they are S/S rather then brass which my originals are. As with a lot of spares you are forced to buy expensive replacement complete kit parts when with the seat post, only the bushes need...

    which size mtb wheel nowadays ?

    All though 26" might be "old hat" buying rims and tyres is no more difficult then buying 700c or 27.5", complete wheels may be hared to find but it is easy to get a wheel built. In the case of hub wheels again it's just a case of a simple swap and lacing the hub in to a new rim size.

    Suspension Seatposts

    For seat posts you need to measure the internal diameter or simply measure your seat post on removal.. External measurement is for seat clamp and derailleur clamp fitting. Have a look on bike-discount .de.

    Suspension Seatposts

    The Suntour's are quite good the only issue with them as I have mentioned a couple of times is the collared bushes do wear and leads to play. The only problem, I haven't yet found any where to buy these bushes. Looks like I will have to get some more machined for me as recently have replaced a...

    Bosch ebike motor reliability

    I think a great post by Eddie and said in his no nonsense way. Although loyal to bosch drives EPJ does give an unbiased fact based thoughts on the issue, despite the gripes he has with the company. Its a shame they don't listen to their clientell.

    independent e bike technician

    For most oem mid drive bikes it is protectionism, it keeps prices inflated as they class it a bespoke drive well above most hub dive options. On the other hand the hub drive is a relative simple system to repair and get back on the road and a lot cheaper to maintain. Other issue you are...

    Bosch ebike motor reliability

    There is a possibility like the impulse 11 that these units are being asked to deliver to much power/torque with the wrong gearing selected by riders, the drives just can't handle it with under engineered components failing to quickly. Over the years Eddie has really given his bosch drives a...

    Where can I take my ebike for repair?

    If the bike worked ok before the battery was recelled then it may be something simple like a blown fuse, also did you switch it on and was it charged up. We can teach you in using a volt meter as there is nothing tricky involved it would at least give an idea if there is an issue with the...
