Sorry yes I realise that, my post was in answer to grazie's. I'd say outside, if I remember correctly you don't have much room for a bigger inner chain-ring.

GX18 ONL is it, GX18 OML is a blue one

usually possible without, especially with the right tools, although removing it isn't difficult either

Buxworth school got to the county finals again this year and came away with Gold again, Grace has been on the team for all of the 4 years they've been to the county finals. Last year they came 2nd mainly due to not running the Italian pursuit in a rescheduled final. Still 3 Golds and a silver is...

Yes he certainly looks good, good to start young too, I imagine I'd end up like his Dad on the floor if I tried to keep. I guess my friends two children don't ride MTB because I'm not keen, having said that I wasn't keen on them doing cyclocross either, but currently that's what they enjoy most...

Likewise so sorry to hear this, I use the same lock, I'm lead to believe picking is rare.

does the head unit switch on whilst off the bike? it will stay on for a few seconds.

Given it just goes off I'd say it's a fault with the actual head unit, any other issues should give you an error code on the display.

Huge choice then, only you can pick the point that suits you. I like these in a 32 mm size, grippy on the type of roads I ride (steep gravelly and often damp), that means they're soft so do wear out on the rear. I guess they're a mid-point tyre. I see the 28 mm version will take more pressure...

Yes it would be a good idea to say how you intend to use the bike.

You need a hybrid as a minimum for the road, will also cope pretty well off-road too as long as it's not too extreme. The MTB's will be the wrong bike for your needs I'd say.

I've not studied the Torque before, the bottom bracket certainly looks substantial, I wonder if the bearings are serviceable or does it require a whole new bottom bracket unit when worn David?

I remember NBR bearings wanting me to order 1000 too when I was replacing my Bosch classic bearings, that one has soldiered on for another 5,000 miles or so. Pleased you had some made and I'll get one soon, ready for when I replace the motors 3rd drive-side bearing.

Yes it says for hub gears in the link.

Bearings wear out even when there is no water ingress, rider strength and hills climbed have a bearing on the rate of wear too.

can you not use higher gears and tap into more power?

Over budget, but would suit your size I'd think https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KTM-MACINA-COMPACT-NEW-BOSCH-EBIKE-BOSCH-ACTIVE-LINE-MOTOR-BOSCH-ELECTRIC-BIKE/232815341250?hash=item3634e02ec2:g:psoAAOSwmT1bLJu8

The bike has been a massive help to improving both my fitness and quality of life. I guess I was perhaps where you are now around 8 years ago, I bought a bike with a throttle so when I got weary I could use it, however I found it more tiring just sitting there. Fingers crossed you'll gain from a...

still going strong after 5 years

Not what I'd call sporty looking though ? A sporty hybrid is what is required I'd say, love my Bosch system, now in my 13th year with CFS.
