    well i,m impressed Eddie , if you can ride down the terrian shown in your photos at any sort of speed on your hardtail emtb without any issues then you are a far better mountain biker than i am. fair play to you. if i could do that i would stick with the hardtail emtb and save spending money...

    Thanks for the replies I certainly hope things will get better as time goes on as folks have suggested As for hardtack emtbs I stand by my comments as far as the type of off road riding I do For non electric hard tails I am a big fan especially the new breed of plus bikes There is a big...

    thanks for your reply Pete, You are correct my bike would be repaired out of warranty . the problem as you say is the cost. the point i,m making is that if something fairly minor and cheap to replace goes faulty inside the crank drive motor then the bike shops have not been given the...

    i agree with you mike, e cycling is taking off but the general masses are going to dictate which direction its going in. if the crank drive european manufacturers don,t get something in place soon then these kind of bikes will only be for the folks who can afford to buy a new motor if anything...

    so i started this subject a while back . i haven,t been on here recently. i have however been researching full suspension e mtbs. i have a hardtail at the moment but for the weight etc of an emtb i think full sus is more suitable for any rough offroad. however in this research that involved demo...

    haibike power fail

    With Bosch middrive, most LBS should be able replace motor easily enough plus Bosch provide diagnostic tools. Parts are easily to come by, its only drive, speed sensor, display and assist button module (combined in case of Purion). i am still not sure if this means a total motor replacement...

    haibike power fail

    thanks Trevormonty i did not know that any bosch LBS supporting bosch drive can fix your bike. So that should speed up the time to get a bike fixed in the case of bosch. If the LBS diagnosed the fault as being in the controller or some other component which is within the motor unit would...

    haibike power fail

    i am sorry to hear you also have a problem Trampus. it is a real problem with some ebikes that the controller is in with the motor. i was thinking about upgrading my hardtail to a full sus but i have now changed my mind. i am reluctant to spend thousands on a product that may cost me a lot of...

    OK, so if want oil my chain!

    i am not sure which bike you have but on the yamaha if you turn the front chainring (sprocket) backwards by hand then the chain will move . not as easy as turning the cranks i,ll admit but it does work..

    the shop i bought my bike from did all they could to resolve the problem so i,m not blaming them in any way. the point is they have not been trained to do as much as i,m sure they would have liked. i now understand that the policy on warranty motors is just to swap them if they have a...

    thanks woosh, this kind of sums it up. all your eggs are in one basket with my type of bike. it does make sense to have all components separate. i would gladly have paid £50 to have my bike sorted . if this was the case with my bike then it was a VERY expensive fix. please don,t take offence...

    that is very impressive that ktm would have a very quick turn around (48 hours). It seems that if the warranty runs out there is still a problem. In my case there was a complete failure of the system. This was diagnosed as coming from the motor. It could have been something very simple and...
