    New mountain e-bike advice

    I have an e-road bike (Cannondale neoSynpase2) , but I also fancy an e-mtn bike and would like some advice as to what to buy/research. I'm 73 and weigh 94kg; I would not want anything too 'technical' -my days of skiing black and red runs are over. I just need something that would be adequate...

    RE: Bosch Active-Line motors - a cautionary tale:

    More usual than not I suppose, but I have had more uplifting experiences with other (non-bike related) items.

    RE: Bosch Active-Line motors - a cautionary tale:

    RE: Bosch Active-Line motors - a cautionary tale. Briefly: They have 2 year warranty. However, there is no ‘goodwill’, one day after the warranty runs out and you’re on your own! My unit was 2 weeks over before I reported it to Evans (Sheffield, UK- where I bought the bike) as I felt the...

    E-Bike recommendations for my wife with MS

    Thanks Perseus; so sorry to hear about your 'issues'. Thanks for the link - I'll pass it on to my wife. (She's not taking all my prompting very well at present - so may need to 'back-off'.) You've all been so kind on this forum - many thanks again. Google isn't alway one's friend when searching...

    E-Bike recommendations for my wife with MS

    Thanks both. I agree with the inherent 'issues' with trikes and/or stabilisers but we would only be going on canal paths or old railway tracks. The Roodog seems ideal - esp the 'Bliss' model. Out-of-stock at present (of course); she would need to trial it first. Are there any other similar...

    E-Bike recommendations for my wife with MS

    Her balance is compromised and she has lost her confidence. A step-through bike, possibly with stabilisers is my first idea, but it would need to be packed into the back of a VW Golf. A tricycle is another idea but packing that into a Golf would be even more difficult. Has anyone any...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo2

    What problems did you have? The only one I've had is that the Purion display was not waterproof. This has just been resolved under warranty. I've only done 650 miles on it but it needed new rear disc pads .

    Bosch Purion display - not waterproof?

    A reply: The Purion can allow condensation to build underneath the screen when there are rapid temperature changes or changes to air pressure where the bike is ridden and stored. If this condensation does not clear by leaving the bike in a warm light filled area then please take the bike into a...

    Bosch Purion display - not waterproof?

    Thanks everyone. I'll take it up again with Evans. Seems strange as I don't think it's even showerproof. I'll investigate the cover - just in case. Thanks for that. IF it needs replacing under warranty I wonder about getting an Intuvia instead. ny opinions? Best wishes, Richard.

    Bosch Purion display - not waterproof?

    I have a Cannondale Neo Synapse 2, bought at Evans, Sheffield in July 2019. When it rains, the display shows condensation on the inside. Does any one else have this fault? Evans have been been notified but the reply was that they wondered if this was covered under the warranty. Hmmm.. Any...

    It weighs 19.5kg which is a -ve but the Bosch motor and Shimano gears is a plus. I found the saddle uncomfortable and changed it. I added mudguards and lights and a rear pannier rack. First ride from S10 to Edale and return via Hathersage was a breeze. Impressed. Not sure if there are better...

    Hi, I got a Cannondale Neo Synapse 2 from Evans in June with about £900 off. I had previously made a list of over 20 bikes and had seen a few in Langsett Cycles of Sheffield. I hadn't put the Cannondale on my original list but was taken by the spec and discount! can't write more than 420 chars...
