    Intermittent power on Powercycle Windsor

    I’ve had the battery checked locally and all seems OK. Checked and cleaned all the connections to/from the controller and all seems OK. I have now seen that when the power assistance stops working I can see that the “full charge” battery LED dims/goes out if either the pedals are turned or the...

    Intermittent power on Powercycle Windsor

    Thanks for the reply Mark. I do still have the bike and will do as you suggest and see how it goes. I have also had a reply from Powacycle and they have suggested I return the battery to them for testing as a first step. I'll do as you say first and if that makes no difference will get the...

    Intermittent power on Powercycle Windsor

    Hi I'm a long time member but rarely post. I have a 2010 Haibike EQ xDuro full suspension which is still going strong. After I'd had it a while I bought my wife a Powercycle Windsor with the LPX battery (I get the great, she gets the cheap :-)) It's only been used a few times as we've been...

    A few Bosch questions

    Hi everyone I've had some great battery feedback and offers from a number of dealers, particularly from David at electrifyingcycles and Mark at e-motion in Swindon. However member El Champiero offered me an almost new battery at a great price which suited my needs exactly so I'm now sorted...

    A few Bosch questions

    Thanks for all the info everyone, all greatly appreciated. Battery: Still looking for something (David @ Electrifying Cycles - have responded) with my limited budget, perhaps a good s/h battery or an alternative compatible manufacturer may be a more realistic solution. Thanks Martin @...

    A few Bosch questions

    I've had my Haibike for over 2 years, although due to work and family issues I've not used it very much over the last year. Battery: For what I use it for - mainly off-road rides of less than 15 miles - it's great, and the original battery is still fine BUT I've just retired and want to venture...

    HaiBike eQ Xduro FS - a note of caution

    I bought a HaiBike eQ Xduro FS from James at E-Bikes | Electric Bicycles | Electric Bikes | Just Ebikes in November last year and the service from James was, and has continued to be, excellent. I cannot fault the service and attention to detail that James and justbikes has provided throughout my...

    Purchase advice please

    Very big thumbs up for James at Justebikes - I decided to go for a Haibike eQ Xduro FS just before going off to Cyprus for a short holiday 10 days ago and rang James to put a deposit on a Haibike before I went, with the intention of finalising things on my return. Got back 36 hours later than...

    M5 Crash

    It's a MAXimum speed limit, no-one is making anyone else go that fast if they don't wish to - perhaps we should also limit ebikes to the same maximum speed as disabled electric chairs as well, just in case - what happened to those freedoms our Grandfathers fought so hard for - nanny state...

    Purchase advice please

    Many thanks for all the replies and advice everyone. eddieo - I am gravitating towards a Haibike or KTM - are the KTM's available in the UK, or can you tell me where they are available? Lynda - as above - having read everything I can find on the Tonaro it just seems to be a little too...

I'm a lifelong off-road motorcyclist (ridden in Europe, Greece, S Africa, the Himalayas, Cambodia, and again in the Himalayas in August this year) but have now decided to move to off-road...

    Can anyone help me decide?

    Thanks for all the great advice, it's greatly appreciated. My doubts about Kalkhoff wheels and 50cycles have been laid to rest and the chain guard issue obviously isn't an issue. I am arranging a test ride on a Agattu locally, from one of the 50cycles customers who offer demonstrator...

    Can anyone help me decide?

    Hi all I’m completely new to e-bikes and don’t even do much cycling at all at the moment, mainly due to where I live and my fitness (lack of). I’ve recently lost a lot of weight (was 21st now 16st and still losing – 6’1” tall with 31” inside leg) and want to get fit as well as slim(mer). I...
