    New ebike upgrade :D Gone from a Active Line plus to E8000 :)

    Don't get me wrong, the crossfuse is an amazing bike with a solid motor. Just really isn't fit for any real off roading as I found out the hard way! On the plus side I did lose 2 stone on my crossfuse :)

    New ebike upgrade :D Gone from a Active Line plus to E8000 :)

    So I decided to I really needed to get myself a off roading bike as my Crossfuse really sucked doing anything slightly off road in even damp weather. Got a good deal on a E8000 Voodoo Zobop. Paid £2200 with 2 free years ebike cover from Halfords. So I've done a good 2600 trouble free miles on...

    1000 miles done on Crossfuse E

    hey man, I'm just hitting my 2000 mark now. My gears still look really good. Just hit my .50 mark on my chain and so replace that in the next 500 miles but the biggest sign of wear is on my chain ring. I think im about 2/3 into the life cycle of that so I'll change both my chain ring and chain...

    Gtech eScent any good?

    for £810 i think it is one of the best bikes for your money! He has ordered another battery via halfords for £270 which isn't too bad. Shame there isn't a 400w pack option but oh well. I think its great for the price!

    Gtech eScent any good?

    I found Eco to be not so Eco on the escent to be honest. Still puts a lot of power to the motor. Also you can easily trick the motor to kicking in without putting much effort in at all. Don't forget that it only has a 200w battery pack. I'd still pick my Active line plus motor over a hub any...

    Gtech eScent any good?

    Well i know 3 people with one now. They are amazing ebikes! Range is VERY low even in Eco. Getting around 10 miles in eco which isn't the best. But saying that they are really easy to ride with no power. Very small amount of drag.

    Halfords are truly shocking!

    So my best mate's ebike was finally ready to be picked up from the store today....... He hasn't owned a bike in maybe 20 years. Rides it home and sends me a photo. Says the steering is slightly off..... Can you tell me what the problem is?!??!?! Unbelievable!!!

    Gtech eScent any good?

    Yeah so the bike turned up at Halfords today but he couldn't collect it because it didn't have a bloody battery! They said there wasn't one in the box!! truly shocking! Also they refused to find another battery so they have to order a whole new bike..... wow

    Wow you've had the same bike for 11 years :o that is so crazy! How many miles have you done on it in that time? never needed to replace the motor or anything?

    My first off and it was a strange one

    Wow this post went a bit off topic! So it has been a few days now and I'm feeling completely fine. Not a mark on me. My bike has got barely a mark on it part from the pedal and left grip so I'm not going to claim anything as I really just want to move on with my life now. I've put it down to...

    My first off and it was a strange one

    So I guess I’m part of the real ebiker club now, had my first off yesterday and it was a super strange one. Cycling home in the rain (in high viz and lights on) as I always do in a great mood, enjoying the bike as I had a REALLY crappy day at work when this woman in a 4x4 pulled into me as I...

    1000 miles done on Crossfuse E

    I check my chain every month and it hasn't hit the .5 yet and I'm now at 1800 miles. Still ALL cycle parts are the same including the tyres! The rear Tyre and the brake pads will need replacing in the next 200/300 miles i think! We don't have any really big hills where I live, I think this is...
