    Updated fast-folding ebike gets a cleaner look, sheds some weight

    Its not for me as I like larger wheels on a bike, but many here like the smaller folding style, so they might have an interest in this:-...

    Bosch battery charger - what's it worth?

    I would say that's probably about market value and that IMHO you did really well. As even if it was never used, such things are worth only about 50% of the new price....You were very close to that! regards and congrats! Andy

    Battery charging, how often

    Good and very important question, that is apparently not fully understood by many on the e-bike scene IMO, which is why I would recommend reading at the online "Battery University", as they seldom get things wrong! https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries There...

    Kiox not reporting GPS data

    Is there a reset function back to manufacturers standard? If yes, try that. Also, there will be a Free Firmware update available here at least, tomorrow. Its in German, but I am sure an English version will be made available:- https://www.bosch-ebike.com/de/produkte/kiox/ Best wishes Andy

    Front hub motor touching fork, what to do?

    Simply cutting a flat off the outside of the 12mm washers to clear the safety lips, with a small hacksaw, might have saved you some work, and you get the larger area coverage as well, from what is left of the larger washer. Or a Dremel cutting disk to shape the cut even better. I love Dremels! I...

    Cube Bosch Performance cx Burns out

    You come over in your posts as a "show off boaster" to me personally, and it seems that the broken Hub motor you posted of never happened....No pictures..... Exactly as I, and others here thought!

    I have to say that this is fast becoming one of the most interesting and informative topics on Pedelec recently. My personal thanks to all "posters". Andy

    Cube Bosch Performance cx Burns out

    I have had two rear hub bikes. I have never even had a spoke break. I generally ride in a hilly area of forest close to my house, I keep the tyre pressures up, as I find that makes for better braking and road holding. I have never ever had a single motor problem, or wheel problem. I am not the...

    Front hub motor touching fork, what to do?

    If the motor gets slightly loose and turns on its axis, the example I once saw had ripped out all the motor and hall effect sensor wiring from the hub.....you do not want this to happen.... Andy

    what is it?????

    Some pads are not held securely in place, when the disk is not present, and delivery people throw the boxes about, and some brakes a pad can fall out, or maybe even the lever gets operated. Apparently, the plastic piece prevents pad movement, and my brakes are not even hydraulic.....so its not...

    Cube Bosch Performance cx Burns out

    Can you provide us all with proof, especially photos showing that? As I simply do not believe it, as hub motors are in my opinion, the strongest, and most simply built motors around, and give good long and reliable service. An unbiased opinion with pictures would be really great. I looked on...

    Volt meter

    A digital one, while riding, may prove to be unreadable, depending upon the circuit damping. As current drawn changes, the voltmeter will show a different voltage. If you own a multi meter, tape it securely to the handlebars and try it out and see if its OK for you.... But you may need to pause...

    what is it?????

    It is not complex, it simply prevents the pads on some brake designs from falling out and getting lost in transit. I asked the same question when I took delivery of my first disk brake e-bike! Always good to check! Andy

    In your humble and petty opinion? If you had read it FAR more carefully, you would see that I was answering a very valid point! Right on subject!

    Cube Bosch Performance cx Burns out

    Some people are just lucky, and manage to get through without many problems, but does that mean we then then simply ignore the unlucky ones up front, and pretend that they did not have a chain snap, and a 20 mile walk home because we did not supply them with a warning? I think not! That would be...
