That does make some sense... but I'm not totally convinced. My e-bike uses the same Phylion battery... but with the "standard" BMS. From what I understand from Phylion, your Crossfire-e uses the "smart" BMS (perhaps that's what gives the usage cycles etc, whereas mine doesn't). Nevertheless...

My e-bike uses the same Phylion battery, but with a different (standard) BMS board and only the 36v power rails connected (the two outer pins). That board is very nicely/tidily made, and isn't too hard to take out/examine Your battery differs in that the three centre pins of the battery ARE also...

When others have reported this problem with this e-bike, the sudden power loss is most often attributed to either the battery jiggling around and losing connection, or the riders foot possibly catching the motor feed wire and/or vibration disturbing it - hence why tying both down seems a popular...

Logic suggests the issue is between your battery and the charger: It may even be that there's nothing wrong with either other than the LED battery display being a little off... but without measuring/checking actual voltages with a multimeter, you'll never know. Replacing the controller may be...

I use either of these two Bestek inverters. Both work. Both cost about £40 on Amazon. A 2-amp 42-volt e-bike charger consumes roughly 80-watts of mains power. The first is rated at a constant 400w (about 1000w peak) when connected direct to a vehicle battery, or 150w when connected via an...

And I'd argue that's what leads to disappointment... it sets a very high level of expectation that today just isn't being delivered. The recurring theme with all these "German product" issues on this forum at least, and to quote a recent post, is (I paid through the nose because) "I presumed I...

And still people buy Kalkhoff e-bikes, despite all the known issues, believing the "German-made" superiority hype.

Nobody in England has a clue how the French think - or could replicate how the French drive... but the J D Survey is taken (at least here in the UK) as a factual measured survey of British buyers of these cars... and the Dacia still proves more dependable than a BMW! (my own hideously unreliable...

Absolutely agreed. So if we look at cars then... In the J D Power Survey 2017 of the UK's 25 most dependable cars... Kia (1st), Skoda (3rd) Hyundai (5th) all proved more dependable than Mercedes (15th), Audi (24th), and the most appalling reliability of all cars sold in Britain was German made...

This may seem a really dumb observation/comment (and tell me if it is)... But surely the Devil is from within? It's understandable that Kalkhoff, R&M, Bosch - all those high-brow German manufacturers with a vested interest in wanting to protect their own market(s) from being undercut by...

You missed one: Bafang MaxDrive - £ sod-all. No updates required. It's perfect as it is. If you want to fiddle, advanced fiddling = a £20 cable (a one-off purchase for life) and free software. Max speed assist/current/power - User settable - no stupid £200 dongle required. The MaxDrive...

Maybe we could merge the two topics? What the Brexit thread seems to miss is RELEVANCE... We could debate how Trade Tariffs - post Brexit - are likely to impact on the cost of bicycle tyres imported into the UK of say... An EU made tyre, like German made Continental... Or a non-EU made tyre...

If it's a standard Sans charger, use a sharp knife to prise out the four rubber feet, and there're 4 Philips screws underneath. Best to open the charger first to see if there's any evidence of what might be wrong (failed diode, bulging caps, blown fuse etc). In my (limited) experience, if those...

It could/might/possibly be, if, as you say, Halfords had used their own/ different charger in the shop with no better result. 2 different batteries charged by 2 different chargers - same fault? It could be either. The battery should measure better than >38.5-volts IIRC for that fifth LED on the...

It might help to understand where the fault might be if you were able to measure your fully charged battery voltage:

Back on topic... I would be inclined to telephone the (on-line) company you purchased these tyres from and have that discussion... emailing them the photos to demonstrate your issue. With luck, they'll accept there is a fault, and either credit you, or supply a nice set of Continental-branded...

Applied for comedic value. Obviously my attempt failed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion: Your own experience and thus opinion of Schwalbe tyres are wholly different to mine (and I'd argue the OP). The fact remains that plenty of credible alternative tyre brands exist.

Clearly you missed the :rolleyes:.

Not wishing to appear a smart-arse (which I inevitably will), but Kenda I now discover actually offer no less than 16 levels of puncture protection (have I got that right?): http://bicycle.kendatire.com/en-us/tire-tech/casing-technology/ Eat crap Schwalbe. And eat humble pie d8veh! (flecc...
