A Bosch motor is an exception to that, and would be covered by warranty if unmodified.

There's a two year warranty on unmodified Bosch units. A bearing failure is covered, because the unit isn't serviceable, Bosch do not supply any internal parts. Return to Bosch I'm lead to believe can be around 4 weeks,

How many miles a day do you intend to ride? end to end

That's the hyper link Michael posted in his message under the this

Of interest in this debate of liability perhaps. http://road.cc/content/news/129281-london-cyclist-seriously-injured-crash-another-rider-frustrated-police-failure

I'd heard about these before. Perhaps a perfect solution for e-bike on cable disc brakes as standard. That's on a nice steel framed Raleigh bike http://road.cc/content/news/129257-more-2015-disc-road-bikes-raleigh-stevens-time-alchemy-colnago-pinarello-parlee

Yes in your case at that price point I'd also go the DIY route. You'll end up with a much better bike.

I did not realise that in doing that for me it would have cost you money. Given that the only other option would have been to send my wheel to M&P I'd have been prepared to pay the shipping costs. So thank you again for helping me in that instance. Don't confuse protracted debates that you have...

It was a joke. I'm going to return to a normal bike, I go a fair bit faster on one of those than I ever could on a speed restricted e-bike.

Thanks, as I said at the time I did really appreciate your help with the hub issue. So these shipping costs come out of the profit a dealer makes on selling a bike? In which case all those dealers out there will be hoping none of their generation one Bosch bike customers do as much as 4,000...

So are you saying that in fixing a KTM bike all costs and labour incurred including returning faulty parts are covered by the dealer? or is it not the case that you credit the dealer for the work done as you have recently stated elsewhere on the forum?

Perhaps they're sub-standard compared to normal bicycle tyres, because they're limited to 16 mph. were as normal bicycles do up to around 60 mph.

Interesting motor, but will it work? http://road.cc/content/news/128979-lightweight-show-e-bike-concept-eurobike

That's correct, my supplying dealer said they no longer sell KTM bikes, so they directed me to a local dealer when I had the gear issue, and said if there were any problems for my dealer doing the work to contact them. As you were as close as my nearest dealer I thought it best all round to do...

No thank you for the picture. proof if it were needed that my thoughts about this failed bearing not being up to the job are clearly true, seeing as Bosch have seen it fit to fit one about twice the size in the new motor. Had my bike been a Haibike I wonder would it be repaired and back on the...

I see Bosch have uprated the weedy bearing that has failed on my unit with a much larger one, at around 3 times the width for the new one.

Camouflage paint perhaps

Here's a BMC

My Bosch KTM cuts the power at 16 mph, always has done, higher speeds were just wishful thinking.

Having a broken e-bike means that if I want to cycle I have to ride one of my normal bikes. I managed to ride up a hill the other day on my old racing bike that would have been impossible for me to get up two years ago. So my fitness must have improved. Mind you I did drop just over 3,000...
