    Gocycle app v9.1 incomplete

    I'm hoping this will help other gocycle owners. If you follow the instructions to "upgrade" to the v9.1 of the app you are going to find you have lost the dashboard and will not be putting your phone on the bars anytime soon. Somehow there is absolutely no mention I can find of it anywhere on...

    Battery comparison

    Can those more knowledgeable than me confirm or comment on this. I used to ride a gocycle G3 with a 24v 375 wh battery Now I have a G4 which is 36v but remains 375 Wh Should this mean I get greater range, in theory? Or does it mean I can receive more power over the same range? My practical...

    Gocycle hack for handlebar accessory

    Gocycle hack I mentioned at the end of my review.... Basically the gocycle has non standard bars, thick and busy with LEDs etc. So bar accessories like my favourite, the beeline, just will not go, there's no stem either. But some time ago my wife bought me a "bright side" light that gives...

    Anyone experience of DNA+ (touted with Yellow Jersey policies)?

    Recently I took out a cycle insurance policy specifically for my Ebike, after enquiring to extend my household policy and making the unfortunate discovery that Ebikes are excluded! Yellow Jersey won out as the provider, and when I took the policy they told me I would get a "free" DNA+ product...

    What does your bike do with low battery?

    I've had three Ebikes, all behaved differently:- My Cyclotricity kit bike would flash zero and yet continue to power on, up o half a mile on the flat. My KTM Macina would inevitably shutdown completely within yards My Gocycle ceases to provide and motor power at TEN PERCENT! Saving the remainder...

    Best practice winters

    I'm having some range issues with my new bike (see Sig). Then I read in the gocycle winter guidance that battery life can be degraded to as low as 50% when temp falls to zero. I read some useful advice here, but most folks seem to think it should not be no problem. Range aside, there's the...

    Sensor mount damaged; what happens with no sensor?

    I just completed a brake bleed on my rear brake (happy to say successfully) and when replacing the wheel I must have knocked the sensor somehow. The first I knew of any damage was when I spotted a piece of broken plastic on the ground and traced it back to the mounting that held the sensor in...

    Light luggage / sadddle security option

    Just recently I have come up with what I hope is a working solution for my KTM to carry a little luggage. At first I tried and tried to find a detachable luggage solution for the saddle bag loops on the back of my brooks B190 This seemed like there was nothing out there, even from the most...

    Cyclotricity failing, any clues?

    As I have described here my cyclotricity conversion kit is no longer performing as it should... Although I continue to get drive using the throttle for full power everything else is far from ideal. Do any people have any clues as to what may be wrong? I checked today and all the actory...

    Cyclotricity hub motor rear wheel, something of a saga

    After months of suffering broken spokes from time to time and replacing with unsatisfactory ones obtained from my LBS I decided it was time to do the job properly and replace all dodgey spokes along with brass nipples and retension the wheel, hopefully putting an end to spokes going ping! One...

    Spare battery for KTM macina 29?

    Can anyone advise where best to obtain a spare Bosch power pack for this bike? I think there may be a couple on Amazon and maybe I have found one on Ebay, but I'd far prefer to use a source that guaranteed compatibility. I think my existing pack has 300 Wh and I'd love to upgrade to 486 Wh...

    Bosch Intuvia removable console issues

    Recently I have acquired a KTM macina 29 and I'm very happy with it. Today it has been raining a good deal and this has led me to wonder if Bosch designed the contact system for console removal in wet weather or is it inadvisable? Additionally I've seen a YouTube review that shows the unit...

    So happy, picked up Macina 29 powered by Bosh (Metropolis?) for a song!

    Just want to share my joy at recent good fortune. Dropped by my LBS and the owner, knowing I was riding a conversion E-bike slightly unhappily, showed me a second hand Ebike he was keen to offload for £500. Now bear in mind this bike is very close to the spec of my conversion, with upgrades of...
