Not a good day by the sounds of it. :( .

To back up what Dave has said about the battery warming up, this wasn't anything that I had given thought to until carrying out a ride in the summer using a Bosch CX motor and 500wh battery. The ride length was 10.4 miles with an elevation gain of 6,428ft. I had to change the battery in the...

The tint should hide that for you. :D It is daft though, not being able to turn the light off. I can think of several of us that have mentioned that before, and we can't be the only ones to find the light a nuisance.

I said that it gives a one gear advantage, so is more powerful. But it is hardly a leap in torque to get excited about. The best hill climbing combination for duration of ride is a Performance Line and 500wh battery. Any loss in performance can be made up with final drive gearing From my...

I weigh 75kg, and from my experience using the system off road in extreme climbing conditions, other than in the considerably higher battery consumption of the CX motor, the difference is neither here nor there. It is just one gear.

That is the ones that I thought you meant. I guess that to be fair, I get a winter of use from the two that run my Ebay .99p rear light, so they might well do okay. Having said, I hardly ever use or need a rear light!:D They have jumped up in price though. I bought five of them for £4.95...

That could be handy if they run out when out on a ride. I still haven't received my Purion yet, and I'm starting to have my doubts about it.

SW, did I read you correctly that it has separate batteries to run it, which don't charge from the battery fitted to the bike?

You will be wanting this forum section then. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/speed-pedelecs-s-pedelecs-non-eapcs-overseas.43/ .

Dave, a surprising amount of time can be either lost or gained when changing gear, so in respect of speed I'm certainly not going to argue about that one. 1boris, having owned both a Performance Line and CX motor at the same time, I suspect that overall the CX might give a one gear advantage...

Man bug! The fresh air would have done you some good. :)

I still believe that pedal assist or throttle assist that smoothness equals speed, and crank drives unless linked to a single speed drive train, just don't have the smoothness of gear change that a hub drive set up has. Any advantage that a crank drive might have or indeed if it even does have...

Nothing to regret. :) My Shimano set up. I leave my clutch engaged the whole time, and the only time that it isn't, is when I remove the wheel. My SRAM set up. The clutch is automatically engaged all the time anyway, and I just press a button to disengage to remove the rear wheel.

It could have more to do with me saying "Pro Connect" :oops:

I guess that you always come up smelling of roses.

I bought one of the single cell USB chargers that you linked to some time back. It has turned out to be a brilliant investment. :)

Just don't fart!!!!

I am very impressed by how much traction that the tyre gets/gives on the grass. :)

Spraying air freshener inside of your rear rack! Slightly too much info there for this time of the day! :D

I was tempted to take an off road trip on the eMTB to work this morning, but stupidly took the van instead. The bike would have been the safer option. It was a case of.. Please not the pond, not the pond, followed by oh crap, it's going to be the telephone pole instead. You and your global...
