    anyone managed to de-restrict this bike? my bike cuts out at 13.9 mph, at least I'd like to reach 15.6mph or more (offroad of course) if possible.

    the belt is aligned, i think. I also checked the tension with the gates app and its 45-49hz, which seems about right. the clunk happens when I stop and make the first push on the pedal, does not happen when I freewheel

    Bad news, this morning, just after 370 miles, my gtech decided to die half way through my commute. It just stopped, with this warning: 01 - WAIT Low Temperature. It was a sunny, but chilly ( -1 C ) day I used it when it was -5 and it was fine before. Anyone had this?

    anyone fitted bigger tyres on this bike? right now I have 700x38 just wondering what's the max that it can take?. I have the gtech mudguards and they seem to be very very tight fit.

    My Gtech eBike Sport review!.

    Here are my initial thoughts about this bike after the 1 week (100 miles) (me: 39 years old, 70 kg, think i'm fit, i recently climbed Everest basecamp, was commuting on a trek hybrid non e-bike, but got bored of climbing some hills) Pros: - good range for the battery size - simple, low...

    GTech ebike tuning?

    not sure if i can fit bigger tyres due to the slick mudguards, but it might worth a try if i'd go from 700x38 to 700x56 to the circumference would go from 2192.83 to 2305.93 which is 5% gain in speed at the same RPM.

    Are there any tuning options for this bike? I'd like to increase the speed to at least the legal speed limit, right now the motor cuts out around 14 mph ...

    forgot this: are u sure it's the bottom bracket? most of the time it's the pedal, at least for me, I go through a pedal in every 1k miles, but never replaced a bottom bracket, and i have done 10k with my other bikes

    thanks, actually today I picked up one :) so far so good. I was concerned about the big hill in London, what hill ? :D even in Eco it flew up, actually in Max it's crazy, it just wants to go max speed ... not so good in traffic when u have to follow "slow" fellow cyclist

    New Gtech ebike

    Tried one today in the shop, it was very good, but here is a bit of confusion: There seems to be 2 versions of the battery - V1 has a key lock, no LCD, just 4 bars - V2 no key lock, LCD with percentage gtech website has the picture with the lock/4 bars... I'd prefer the lock version but the...
