    Bosch Battery Service Centre Recommendations - mail order?

    I find comparing a problem e-bike battery cost, to a car that can carry 4 or more passengers, far faster, plus luggage, in comfort on both hot and cold days, to be a poor way to explain the way Bosch treats its customers. That is a very poor comparison. I would not accept what Bosch does with...

    Do you realise, that almost every time you have posted, you have attacked someone, or something. Are you even aware of doing that? I have not (yet) called you either a Bully or an idiot, but I have thought about it, but I try to stay cool and not let such things annoy me. So please try to grow...

    You should start by taking your own advice about jumping to conclusions, it could possibly even make you more agreeable to other members here. You might also learn how to write the Queen's English better, so that fewer misunderstandings, caused by your lack of a proper education, are made. No...

    Man you have got a huge chip on your shoulder, is there any possible chance that you could be even more argumentative? Also, was that meant to amuse us all on Pedelec? It failed big time! I am following the law here (nowhere near to you thank the good Lord!), and walking dogs is allowed for, as...

    ....and you seem to be so wrong, as you apparently totally misunderstand the impression you leave with what you yourself initially wrote, and what others here also wrote in reply. IMHO you are a possible danger to the society where you live, going by the attitude of your first post. I am not...

    Exactly my take, and why I wrote what I did. I am lucky, I live outside of a small town, in a small village, and as happened on my dog walk today, I saw one other dog walker, we passed maybe 5 meters apart, wished each other a good day, and nobody else..... In Germany, two people are allowed to...

    Why? Just to catch and distribute the virus faster and further?o_O My personal view is that might be considered a really bad idea. Why not try following the experts advice, and to not do anything to make matters even worse than they are, is a far better and safer idea, for humanity as a...

    You are right, Apple products have had a very long list of doing naughty things with their phones, AND, as you said, you cannot even change the battery out! The list is too long to place here... Andy

    Bosch Battery Service Centre Recommendations - mail order?

    Good post Mike, your word in God's right ear! They deserve, to lose trade completely, as them being there or not, probably does not help any owner of their products, where the guarantee has already run out... On some Bosch e-bike products, the UK prices today would have bought my cheap Chinese...

    Bosch Battery Service Centre Recommendations - mail order?

    Good information, many thanks. Which I have also read elsewhere on Pedelec, demonstrating clearly a poor way of "repaying" their "paying" customers. "Locked in" comes to mind..... Anyone here on Pedelec, who buys any Bosch product in the future, after all this firsthand information from...

    With a properly designed system, that should never happen, but if it does, there should only be an easily accessed fuse to replace....Another reason to not buy Bosch.... Andy

    Controller Display KT-LCD3. HOW do I slow walking pace down?

    Its easy to do a rough conversion to MPH from KMH in your head while riding:- (Speed in KMH/3 [to one decimal place only, ignore the rest]) x2 = MPH. Example for 10 KMH = 6.6MPH An accurate conversion on a calculator would give 6.21371MPH Difference of slightly more than a 1/3 MPH...

    Controller Display KT-LCD3. HOW do I slow walking pace down?

    Why worry? You will just think that you are going faster than usual! My guess is that the pushing speed is far more important than what units are showing! regards Andy

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    Vee brakes, if fully correctly adjusted, with modern braking material can be quite good, but not as good as disks. Sparks are very worrying for me personally, metal to metal contact possibly? Does the front hub not have the possibility of adding at least a disk in the front? The front is the...

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    Bleach may cause damage. Use diluted Dettol as per the label, and wipe it off afterwards. Finally wash all over with WD-40 to protect, except brakes and tyres. Andy

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    Firstly, I would like to thank you for the topic, really interesting. But, as a confirmed rear hub user on two bikes that I have owned, and several others I have borrowed and tested, I have read nothing here that would convince me to buy a mid motor bike, in fact, the complete opposite. I have...

    Freezing lithium battery

    Why not keep them in the house while you are at home, but under a smoke detector. And on a hard floor on a metal sheet, with a bucket of cold water handy, if you really want to be correct. In an insulated box while outside. If I remember correctly, when cold they lose a lot of capacity. I do...
