Have you ridden a bike with these systems? With regard to the thread subject I think we need to be patient, there's a lot of second guessing going on here.

That's not a user accessible option on a Bosch bike.

£1,700 for full suspension at JeJames. http://www.jejamescycles.com/giant-full-e-2-electric-bike-2016.html?gclid=CKGH49Ss4NACFcLGGwodlmoDHg

Cheapest Yamaha powered bike I've seen. I'd have had one if I did some off-road stuff. The link is for the Giant Store Sheffield on Facebook. Guessing they'll be in lots of other Giant retailers too.

Karen can't your other half have a ride before you think about visiting the shop? It sounds like you may have quite a low cadence too, so a front sprocket change will help. Try all the assist settings too. I never notice any surging at all on mine apart from at the 16 mph cut-out.

Local cyclist and bike shop owner Sam Clark made an Everesting challenge yesterday, he completed it and set a new British record. Well done Sam. 92 reps on the hill. https://www.strava.com/activities/792523615

I'd imagine your top gear is as small as you can go anyway. I've been trying to find a close-up of the chainset to see if it's riveted, but have drawn a blank. Is chainring riveted or bolted on?

Yes Freewheel, getting my cassettes and feewheels mixed up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=6+speed+cassette&_osacat=7294&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.X6+speed+freewheel.TRS0&_nkw=6+speed+freewheel&_sacat=7294

In that case the only torque load on the cassette is from you. I guess Ian Stannard could produce too much torque, you're not Ian are you? https://www.strava.com/activities/597034291#14541649296 I'd put a decent chain on at the same time, because the bike is so long a bike shop will cut one...

Just buy a new one, and a new chain. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l2632.R2.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.X6-speed+cassette.TRS0&_nkw=6+speed+cassette&_sacat=7294 Like this one?

I like the fixed tensioner on mine, seconds to adjust the chain tension compared to messing about with the bottom bracket or drop-outs. E-bikes are much harder on chains so adjustments are required more often.

Give me a chain tensioner any day of the week.

I was thinking more sub £1,600.

Really, show me these cheaper Yamaha bikes please?

I wouldn't dismiss one quite so quickly, Karen sounds like She is in a similar position to me illness and cycling history wise, even down to the time we've been ill. So She could be just fine on a Bosch bike.

Perhaps.

Are they the ones that set on fire?

I don't think much to that Volt I couldn't see the capacity of the battery, and note it is Lithium Polymer, is that better than Lithium Ion anyone?

and 44 miles downhill too, Arne was descending at 35 mph average speed when it wasn't dark or foggy.

I did 6 reps with him as the dark and rain came in to distract him a bit, my battery was done when I left him with just 4 reps to do. As you say bloody impressive, and that's his second Everesting challenge this year.
