I'm jumping to the defence of Haibike / Yamaha here. Your problem was fixed under warranty wasn't it? So your issue was only the time. During warranty, I'm sure Yamaha ask for their motors back, just like Fox, Shimano, Rockshox, etc etc etc etc all do on their parts on bikes. If it wasn't a...

I'm not sure why didn't he take it to his local Trek dealer? but you have at least shown that there is a market for an independent eBike technician, that this thread was originally asking about. You are one :)

Bosch don't deal with anyone but bicycle brands. Magura do all their servicing in UK. Magura could / might start offering motor servicing outside warranty, or as demand grows another company might also offer it.

Ah, well I'll have to step out of this discussion then, because anything I say could be taken as biased because we don't use Yamaha motors, and I have zero experience of their systems. All I can say, is bosch dealers have to have a days training every year from Bosch and we do something on top...

That's a fair point... I don't know the details of the case, the shop or the bike brand involved, so I'm not defending them. I'm just trying to point out why there isn't a market for an independent service center... yet. I think you'll find lots of eBike specialist shops closing over the...

you've kinda answered all your own questions on this. eBikes is a pretty new market in the UK, so the majority of bikes are covered by warranty. In a year or two I suspect you'll see some centers pop up like TF tuned for suspension, but "....." for eBikes. Some shops will have the in house...

Ok, so you've got a problem, how would it be different if it wasn't a warranty? In my experience its easier to sort a problem when you're not getting it fixed for free. What was the problem and I can try to work out why you had an issue.

I honestly think you're worrying about nothing. You don't have a problem, and you won't have in the future. Chinese bikes might be "easier" to repair, but you'll also find less people are prepared to touch them. If you've invested in a quality brand of bicycles (ignore the motor bit) you're...

Its only a matter of time before all decent bike shops are set up to deal with eBIkes. I'm not really sure what the problem is? Have you been turned away from somewhere?

I don;t need to google it, I research my posts before I post them, so I know there was no vote at the 2017 conference. Labour members have not have had the chance to vote since the vote I quoted, so that's the last one that stands on the opinion of labour members. So what you're talking...

Which vote was that then??

A letter to your MP... if you want to use it. Dear MP, When people voted in the EU referendum last year, little was known about what a future deal with the European Union would look like. 16 months on, it is now very unlikely that any deal will be able to provide the same easy terms of trade...

They did actually, at the 2016 conference in Liverpool. It helps if you keep track of these things. "LABOUR members still want to block Brexit and have voted unanimously in favour of a motion which backs having a second EU referendum."...

They've made a decision, they want to remain, however the country voted to leave, so now they have to play the game.

What a ************ mess.

The collapse of the UKIP vote must have gone somewhere... they seem to like the qualities you've just described.

I am quite close contact with my Labour MP and I get daily updates from a number of insiders within the Party. So Yes I know a snippet of information from a day at the conference isn't going to reflect the party position, because its also evolving as they try to balance the mood of the UK...

I don't see what's hard to understand about this. He's on record as saying he voted remain and would still do so. That's a fact. The current labour policy is to abide by the will of the people, as it was on the 23rd June last year. They don't seem to want to check what is it now, which is...

apart from the fact he voted remain and said he would again. Jeremy Corbyn replied that he would vote Remain. He also reiterated that he voted Remain in the referendum last year...

Of course you can be in multiply unions. They aren't mutually exclusive. Trade Union is a union of people, County is a union of parishes, England is a union of regions, UK is a union of Countries, EU is a Union of Countries. There are many many people who are in all those examples.
