Hi everybody, Just wondering what type of locks you all had. I am looking for one at the moment but the best ones seem heavy and expensive but I don't mind as long as they work well. I know some of the cheaper ones are easy to break and snap, so I don't mind paying more if it works. Do any of...

Thank you. This helps me. I will look at the laws now.

We are going round in circles about which shop I sent it to. I just followed CRs adivice. The shop is irrelevant to my issue I thought the motor was fine when I took itin.

The only thing I’ve not said is what is wrong with my motor which I do not know. I’ve not crashed this bike. I crashed an older one once. The forks not been opened up to get a diagnostic of the cause but shop said they might be fixable. Pedals provided on Crossfuse are rubbish plastic ones which...

I did offer to take it to Halfords but they said it wouldn't make a difference. There is a CR about 30 mils from me but they said as I had bought it online taking it there wouldn't make a difference either.

Cycle Republic asked me to have an independent report which I did. The findings of the report were as stated above. My original query was that I believe that my forks and my motor and my steering column ballbearings were under warranty. I have done everything as asked from CR. The answer from...

It was bought online. They had no stores in my area. The one they wanted me to take it to was in Birmingham and I live 300 miles North of there.

Thank you - it's done 1500 miles so not too many. Ridden in rain and snow but always keep indoors.

It is in the shop so no - when I go see it I will post.

I have used an independent bike shop. Wish I'd have bought my bike from there.

That's what I thought - Cycle Republic are not having it though. I have had quite an email exchange with them and they are holding fast. The cycle repair shop said the headset bearing wouldn't have been greased properly when it was built. I am not sure of the exact problem of the motor at the...

No - not modified - I just ride it to get to work. This is what they said. "Its pretty clear from the report that lack of maintenance has contributed to the parts wearing out. Because of that nothing would be covered under warranty I'm afraid. I'd advise you accept the quote and have the work...

Not at all - the independent bike shop has said it is worn out. Cycle Republic said it is wear and tear. It has been raining a lot on my commute but I should be able to cycle in the rain. I think I am going to have to go through trading standards, however I just wanted some opinions before I do.

Hi all, How do you all go about maintaining your E-Bike. I have had mine 8 months now and it has basically fallen apart. It is a Carrera Crossfuse. I will list the things that have gone wrong or worn out Headset Ballbearings worn out (Worn out - Not covered on Warranty) Forks suspension...

I have had some major problems with punctures and ended up getting them daily. My commute is horrible. Before anyone thinks I did not clean the rims or check the insides of the tyres, I did. Most of the time the tyre had a nail in, or a pin badge, or an industrial staple or on a couple of...

I have insured my bike through my home insurance. I am with The Halifax. I put it down as an E-Bike and stated which one I have. It didnt say how much, if anything, it put my premium up. It wasnt much though. I have liability insurance through the Commuter Scheme from British Cycling. To set up...

Having the motor on the back wheel would put me off as it would make changing the Tyre more tricky.

I have just bought the Topeak Rack from Halfords for my Crossfuse. It was labelled as fits any disc frame. However, it came with M5 screws, which was fine as the majority of screw fittings on the Crossfuse are M5. But on the lower screws by the back wheel has M6 fittings. So I went to screwfix...

I have now completed over 1000 miles commuting to work on my Crossfuse. So maybe about £300 worth of diesel saved - maybe a bit less. I was and still feel I am a complete novice when it comes to cycling so here is my review and learning curve as a newbie cyclist. The cycle into work, about 17...

Thanks TobyAnscombe. Dry Cleaners may be the answer!
