Have any of the Bosch e-bike owners/potential buyers any thoughts on this new system from Bosch? Slated to be available on new Bosch driven e-bikes from this Christmas, it seems something of a gamechanger for Bosch devotees. At last, it's changing from a closed system to a more open one, where...

That display is used on a number of Chinese models: For example, Fiido use it on four different e-bikes. Each display is programmed differently to work with a different controller, so none are interchangeable. If none of the hacks work (there may be others I haven't heard of), the P settings/...

Probably behind the battery in the downtube. When trying any of these hacks, make sure your battery is fully charged (yours is 3/4). Several have tried proven hacks and don't notice any difference because battery voltage is lower than maximum and with their motor the increase is in any case...

Find the controller and see if there's a single-strand looped wire coming out of it - or two single wires not connected. If the two ends of the looped wire are connected, disconnect. Or if there's two open ended wires with mating connectors, connect to form a loop. Beyond that, you may need to...

Some other e-bikes that use that same display have various ways of cracking the speed limit: These may work for you or maybe not: First method: Hold the front and rear brakes at the same time, twist the throttle to maximum, then turn on the display meter. Wait for the screen to flash E004 over...

Yes, I know what you're saying and do agree with you in principle. The Ebco/TranzX bike was new through Halfords and has behaved perfectly from new. It hasn't been too difficult to get my own copy of the CanBus diagnostics software, and I have two good sources for parts - although a time will...

I think it a little premature to pre-judge a new e-bike/drive when it isn't even on sale yet. I think I was the first here on the forum to buy the Greenway Cross City hybrid for £1100 with the then relatively unknown Bafang MaxDrive. Half a dozen other members later took the plunge too. And...

Halfords have a new commuter e-bike - Carrera Impel - coming soon. It differs in that it uses totally different electrics to the potentially problematic Suntour system used on the majority of other Carreras. It's an option given your faith in your local Halfords, but the Woosh is probably the...

The bike carries the moniker "E-One", but everybody calls it Samebike 20LVXD30. If you're looking for solutions to problems, search using that term. There seem to be a few problems reported related to the battery/connections and the remote control. It's a 48-volt battery; fully charged you...

It's about time others also came up with this tracking idea given theft of all bikes (not just e-bikes) is prolific - in my area especially! Excellent! If I were still a regular commuter with possibly dodgy daytime lock-up/storage - like at a railway station or outside my place of work - I'd...

I did notice that. It is an odd arrangement with the display on the right. But you probably could swap the display and shifter around perhaps?

Having worked in advertising, I know the rules. This is a clear breach in my view. You cannot promote a new product and sell a lesser one in its place. For example, what if BMW launched and promoted a new car - lets call it a BMW Voyager model, with a powerful V6 4-litre engine, supplied...

Sorry, but that's just plain b0ll0cks. People look at the reviews, and among many factors considered, comment specifically on the above average torque available from the 48v system. Many will be swayed by such an advantage. The product page does now state 36 volt 12.5AH, but the charger spec is...

There's some major level of deception going on here. The OP says: And Neal comments: Yet the Eskute Voyager e-bikes the reviewers were supplied are 48 volt systems, for example: And Eskute's own phoney blog-post HERE clearly states: "This particular series, the Voyager, is intended to do...

The ADO A20 has a rated 120kg load and a 36v drive system like the D4S, the Samebike a 150kg load and a 48v system. A 48v system is going to give you more oomph given your weight. I've had occasional 130kg-ish total loads (inc. me) on my Fiido D11 which like the A20 & D4S is a 36v/250w 120kg...

I personally think you'd probably be okay with a D4s if handled with some care - it's a great bike for the money and easily fixable if anything goes wrong. There's also the Samebike 20LVXD30 worth considering: It looks broadly similar to the Fiido - 20" wheel, folding - but has an increased...

I think Tony1951 may be referring to the Eskute Wayfarer, which is 36v. I've seen a few youtube reviews which suggest the OP's Eskute Voyager is a 48v system, but Eskute's own website product page says it's 36v?

Roodog do a folding electric low-step bike, and they offer adult stabilisers as an option.

Any of the e-bikes you mention would do the trick - it's just a case of what you want, what's currently available (stocks are low everywhere), and what you want to pay. The Cube can be dongled to de-restrict it (at a cost, and with some risk), Woosh don't support de-restriction, and NCM use...

I use 4 x 12v MR16 halogen lamps wired in series - the type used in domestic SELV kitchen/bathroom downlighters. The draw will be about 3.5-4A. VFR's dry joint/faulty switch is a good point and continuity easy to test if the battery is now open.
