This relates to a Nexus 5 setup on a 2023 Gazelle Grenoble C5HMB. How stiff should the twistgrip be when changing down? Obviously it will need more of a twist going down the gears than up, but mine needs a fair old amount of twisting compared to the 8-speed Nexus on the wife's Batavus (which...

I have a 2023 Gazelle pedelec with belt drive to a Nexus 5 hub. It's done about 1500 miles and has recently started acting up when changing gear. Sometimes when I change up, all that happens is that the shifter moves to the next highest gear indication, but the hub doesn't change gear...

Bike is a 2023 Gazelle Grenoble C5 HMB and I need to check that mounting bolts are tight. Question is, how do I get at them? I guess I take off the left-hand crank then undo the screws holding the plastic cover on, but if anybody knows what happens next that would be helpful! And while...

I have a 2023 model Gazelle Grenoble C5 HMB, which has belt drive to the Shimano 5-speed hub. The belt's started "creaking" intermittently from time to time for no apparent reason. I'm unable to decide what the rate at which it "creaks" ties in with, but it seems to vary according to gear...

Just out of curiosity ... White step-through frame, rear hub motor, black battery behind seat tube, red/pink throttle(?) button on r/h of bars, black rear carrier with rat trap, pink plastic "wicker" basket on the front, European-style noseless saddle. Recently bought new on Facebook, apparently.

I'm using the current version of E-bike Flow with a 2023 Gazelle and an Android phone (Samsung galaxy A14). All is good except for one mystery. At top left of my home screen, alongside the time, there's always a bicycle symbol. When i drag down, it says "Keep e-bike connected". Does...

The Schwalbe Active Plus tyres on my ebike have arrows on them indicating the correct direction of rotation. I can understand it making a difference on a motorbike or a car, but why does it matter on a bicycle? What is it about the tyre construction that dictates which way round it's fitted?

by way of a repair/maintenance stand when it comes to step-through pedelecs? We have a cheapo stand from Lidl which works well enough with bikes which have a crossbar, but I was just wondering what the trade uses instead where there's no crossbar ...

The Yamaha motor of the wife's 2019-model Batavus E-go is well past its best-before so it's time to see about getting it fettled. What sort of a job is it likely to be to remove it? Having spent a large part of my life rebuilding motorbikes it's not the mechanical aspect that concerns me but...

As in ... The wheel still runs dead true and is still exactly concentric with the hub. Can I get away with carefully squeezing them straight by means of a small steel vice with ally jaw liners?

I have a new 2023-model ebike which has a Bosch Performance Line motor rated at 75Nm torque. Seeing as how the maker's bumph doesn't tell me and there seems to be no label on the motor, how can I tell if it's a BDU450CX or a BDU490P?

The wife has a 2022 Gazelle ebike with 5-speed Nexus hub and Tektro discs. Because of the steep hills round here and also the way she uses her brakes, I'm thinking ahead to the point at which it becomes obvious that her rear disc in particular is past its best before. So ... Q1 Is there a...

They're on a 2022 Gazelle ebikie and I need to know model/type so I can order some pads :)

I'm currently riding a borrow Gazelle ebike which has last year's 65Nm Bosch Performane Line motor and this display Anybody know where I can find anything on the web by way of any sort of user guide to it? In particular, how to set the time, and what wxactly the vertical bargraph shows that is...

Apart from some of the Gazelle models, is there an ebike which has ... Step-through frame Upright riding position Crank motor of not less than 70Nm torque Shimano hub gears Disc brakes Either belt drive or full chaincase Rear carrier rated not less than 20Kg Side stand

Medical issues force very reluctant sale of my lovely Bloom C380HMS pedelec. Bought new from Cambridge Cycle Company in August this year, it's done just 308 miles. Frame size is 53cm, which suits both me at 6ft and my wife at 5ft 6in with just saddle height adjustment. It's designed to carry...

This is in the context of an old git riding crank-engined ebikes on the roads for everyday transport. 1500 miles a year in all weather except ice, can't be doing with Magic Hats, etc etc ... So, the last ebike had a 70N/m Yamaha motor and 8-speed Nexus hub. Brilliant bike, but it also had a...

Does it do what it says on the tin? Any downside? Would you buy another belt-drive e-bike ... ?

I would like to know the rated torque figure for the Yamaha mid motor fitted to my wife's 2020 Batavus pedelec, but I'm getting nowhere searching online - probably because i don't know the model number of the motor. Is it possible to tell that by looking at it?

Just moved from my 2020 Batavus pedelec to a very nice new Gazelle and wondering what current thinking is about battery charging. Top up after any significant use aiming to keep it (more or less) full? Let it run down to 25% or so then charge? Or does it make no odds ...?
