Cairn Cycles sell a specific case:- https://www.cairncycles.com/products/cairn-range-extension-pack-fazua-battery-case I'm always chasing a bargain so went down a different path with 2 bottle holders, you could just use the larger one using bubble wrap around the battery. These are in a...

You can get the 503 error with a faulty speed sensor, it is ridiculous that Bosch can brick the motor in this instance. They are making unreasonable profit from their own quality issues.

I recently acquired a cube EXP with the ALP, my other ebikes are CX and old Performance line. It is really good for commuting, the limiter is no where near as bad as the CX I fitted to my old commuter. It is ridable through the limiter up to 20mph on flat, I like the lights, and battery cover, a...

The motor casing and bolt positions look very similar to active line, so hopefully could fit older frames. Not sure if Purion or Intuvia would need software update.

I will post this here just to help others who may have the same issue where you cannot push oil in to the caliper. There is a great youtube video for bleeding HS11 / HS33, just turn on subtitles and auto-translate:- Nice note is that he has put a small hole in the lever syringe which...

I was looking for the Bosch kit and noticed that performanceline bearings are now selling them:- https://www.performancelinebearings.com/product/bosch-motor-service-repair-kit-bdu2xx/

Last week I had the pleasure of dealing with Pete the Bearing Man, and cannot speak higher of his services.

Image of offending Circlip and my dremel. This was with a standard disc, I did order the reinforced cutting disc, but got impatient and tried the standard one.

There was bit of collateral damage to the case and axle from the dremel, but I had no other choice.

A couple more tips...... No. 1 don't buy a 2nd hand ebike, expecting to easily pop in some new bearings and be good to go. You might be unlucky like me. No. 2 if said ebike has a broken circlip on the non-drive crank arm, with both eyes missing, then you need a rotary dremel style tool. I first...

To answer my question here is an image of the frame with split section. https://www.cube.eu/media_ftp/BIKE_Bilder_2016/768400/details/D768400_12.jpg

As a tip, for others. On a 2nd hand bike the main drive side bearing had disintegrated. The outer race was jammed inside the motor cover. It would not budge, so after some googling, I popped the cover in the oven for 15mins on gas mark 2 bearing race facing down. Afterwards it drifted out...

The bearing looks like this. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Bearing Man Thank-you for offering the bearing kits and the fantastic youtube videos. I think I have purchased from your ebay site:- heatwave690 Any ways after some help / advice please. On a second bike I brought with an active line motor the main bearing has disintegrated. The outer...

Hi guys (Mrgeoff in particular) Do you know how the belt fits, does the frame split apart? It is difficult to see on the photos. Does the automatic cadence work okay, or does it annoy you not being "in control" of gears? Thanks

You could "downgrade" to 8 speed, Sunrace make a wide range 8 speed steel cassette (11-40):- http://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks/wide-range-8x1-sunrace-csm680-1040600.html The wider 8-speed chain should be more reliable for the higher torques, plus the component costs...

Great to hear that. It is a leap of faith, but ok if you take your time. Was there much dirt inside your motor?

I guess you right, but the salesman isn't going to highlight these issues which could mean that your £6000 purchase cannot be ridden or repaired in 2 years time, once the warranty period ends. You may be able to sell off the components to recoup some of the money, or if you are lucky you can buy...

On mine i did not add extra grease to the metal gears, the gears left in the motor seemed very clean. Where there was a dob of grease on one of the nylon gears and it was very tacky when rotating by hand. I did use silicone grease on the bearing, and when re-assembling the bearing seal. My...
