I have never heard of any police force, anywhere refusing to do that, especially not the UK Police. Do you have a newspaper or web article that you can post here, as I find that really unbelievable, and if the owner was thinking straight, he would have informed the local newspapers, who would...

All good common sense in my book! Andy

Could even be a bad charger. To help find out what is wrong, you will probably need a reasonable accurate multi meter....and know how to use it and how to not cause dangerous shorts with the test leads.... regards Andy

If a thief can cut a chain that quickly/easily, there is your case for two quality locks. And if I myself, if I had experienced my bike being stolen, primarily because my security was so poor, the last place I would admit to that would be on Pedelec or similar, as it would tend to make me look...

That was partly the fault of the alarm you had I feel, if it was "fiddly" to use. Mine has a remote control, and is super simple to switch on and off. Furthermore, it is also a rear red light with several programs, and it fits snugly under a saddle, protecting it from wet weather, and making it...

It certainly "smells like a faulty battery", as my Grandfather used to say when something was not quite right, but not always a battery....!! Andy

Up to now, some good points, but what about an alarm? And someone here mentioned that he uses TWO alarms. Which I find very good, though I still have only one alarrm and two good bike locks, one front and one back of course, both going to stanchions or similar. I can only say that I have not...

Minor correction:- It still works fine and is usually the one I use for heavy jobs. Two GEARS not 2 speeds, torque clutch, forward & backward, variable speed, and it wasn't as expensive as the green Bosch ones.... My apologies. Andy

I liked your post, well thought out and written, and should be force fed to any prospective Bosch Bike buyer. With regard to Bosch drills, the green ones are cheap rubbish, they fail, as you pointed out, sometimes immediately on first usage. The professional, Black range, are quite a bit better...

There are so many different opinions here, its unlikely that you will get "help" that really "helps!" I have my own methods, and up to now I have not "lost" an e-bike battery in 10 years, but the very second that I post what I do, some idiot, who is old enough to be my grandson, tells me in a...

There was always good reasons to avoid them, now maybe a few more!! Some other makes may also be affected possibly, for similar reasons. Hard to say at this time, and even though I live in Germany, I still want that the UK gets its sovereignty back again.. Also, that fish stocks are not...

Maybe a few good, clear photos of what she has right now might spur us on? I have some ideas, but I need to know exactly what I/we are up against, thanks in advance. regards Andy

I have been lucky, up to now my batteries have simply "lasted", 4 batteries on 2 bikes. All with Panasonic cells. So I have never had to re-cell one, though I understand exactly how its done. My advice is to go for quality, not price, even if it means a lower level of amps. You only have to see...

Thanks for bringing that up. With a normal e-bike manufacturer, a private person could under these circumstances, buy certain spares in advance - just in case, so to say. But as I understand from other posts, Bosch does not apparently allow that, please correct me if I am wrong...... It is...

Of course it all depends on the surface you are riding on, the state of the tyres and the skill of the rider normally. I have stopped safely, a great many times over the years, though I was not going 30MPH. I am sure many other riders can say the same. Its part of being a good rider I feel...

Anything that improves safety, I find good. What do you think, overdone? The price is and it appears that it may not be legal in the UK and EU...

I, and several others here, are most happy for you! Thanks for letting us all know. Regards Andy

Good Idea, which may for some prove to be very interesting. If I used that method, I would start with something like 2-6 thick stainless steel washers (depending upon how much space I have available on the threaded axle), file to fit, then have them spot welded together, with an arm that allows...

As he did not mention that, and I assume nothing as you know, I thought that it might alert him, as I have no idea of his level of technical skills... Thanks for the reminder. Andy
