Loving the bike but assistance to 20mph and one more gear would be good!

Many thanks guys! What about the 6 week check-up at Halfords? Is it worth the effort?

What do you think is the optimum tyre pressure for the Kenda tyres on this bike? Also, is it really worth upgrading to something more puncture resistant?

Do you think repeatedly taking the battery on and off the bike makes any difference? Is it preferable to charge the battery when it is on the bike - or does that make no difference whatsoever?

Any views on the front suspension on the Carrera Crossfire e? Is it always better to have in locked down on Tarmac roads?

Ade Well done on the video! I have also just taken delivery of the Crossfire ebike. I have the same accessory for holding the water bottle but am not sure about the under the seat position pointing forward! I will probably end up with this solution or go for a saddle bag which facilitates a bottle eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aosbos-Saddlebag-Portable-Waterproof-Cycling/dp/B01H8V00BC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1473531742&sr=8-4&keywords=Saddle+bag+with+water+bottle I have enjoyed my first few trips and have been surprised with how good the bike is with NO assist. Did you get one of the £40ish Go Pro look alikes? If so, is it any good? Enjoy your new bike. Keep safe!

I picked my Carrera Crossfire e up today complete with 11ah battery - the 9ah description is a mistake. Got mine for previously agreed price of £720 with British Cycling membership. New price of £1100 seems a lot to me. Great bike - trying to solve the water bottle problem - can you have a bag under the saddle and a water bottle mounted somewhere else?
