    Problems derestricting Bosch Smart Motor

    Firstly, lets not get into the rights and wrongs of derestricting. Ive had my Haibike since 2016 which has been derestricted since then without issue using a speed rs chip. In all those years and thousand of miles only needed a new battery the rest is usual service items. Soundwave, if your...

    Tempted by some new emtb's 2020

    Browsing the internet can be costly. Wasn't looking for a new emtb this year, but now tempted having seen the YT Decoy Pro and Radon Render 10. Currently have Haibike allmtn 2016. Yes, I know there expensive, but can't put price on happiness. Decisions, decisions. Any other bikes around the 5k...

    Sizing

    Been away from this forum and cycling for a while. Got to mention a friend of mine mid 50's, bought an ebike from local bike store in Kent and to my horror in a passing conversation discovered he'd been sold a bike far to big for him. I said nothing, but thought ebike stores should have...

    Next bike may be from Germany

    I would consider buying my next e-bike from Germany. I already purchase many things direct from Germany over internet as well as China. Even with the poor current exchange rates, my German business partner lives in Hamburg and we were comparing 2017 prices buying in UK vs Germany. I was looking...

    Pedal vibration at speed

    Arghhh, another problem. Went out last night and when pedalling at speed 25-27mph (with speed dongles assistance) i felt some vibration through pedals. Tested today and really not sure if its just around this speed as when you accelerate to 28 mph plus it seems to disappear, but this could just...

    Some good road bikes for 2018

    Noticed that Focus and Cube have some really nice e-road bikes in the pipeline. Very hard to tell them apart from a standard road bike. I like speed dongles so if i added one that would make a great road / commuter bike and i can really see the point. With dongle i can cruise about 20-25mph on...

    2018 Bikes, but sticking with what i've got

    OK, so i like the integrated battery in down tube, but other than this no real battery performance change and certainly no improvement on current Bosch motor performance. I'll see what 2019 brings.
