    hall sensors

    Bobbington, You have probably seen this info on Panda’s website: What if a hall sensor breaks? A common issue with hall effect motors is that a hall sensor breaks, due to water damage, overheating, short circuiting, over-voltage, or some other reason. If this happens, the motor won’t work with...

    I've no idea and hope some kind soul can help

    SFMW, This is the problem with the major retailers like Evans Halfords etc. The service is so impersonal. The customer is just another punter wandering into the store. If you can find a decent local bike shop and establish a good relationship, then you are doing well. Review of Pulse ZL-2...

    SFMW, By all means give us a list of your local bike shops and their various makes of ebikes. You may need to extend the search radius. Evans Cycles for example has an Electric Bike Superstore at Cheltenham and 48 hour tests are available: https://www.evanscycles.com/store/cheltenham...

    Spidercat, I appreciate your dilemma, but if you choose carefully you can also find yourself a bargain, even if you needed to add a brand new battery at, say, £300. A 15.6 ah battery from Jimmy at Insat International will cost £285 including carriage. It uses Boston Power Swing cells which have...

    What size bike, hybrid or mtb

    davie150, You probably had a fortunate escape with the Carrera Crossfire-E. Just do a search on here and elsewhere for Crossfire problems. Discuss your exact requirements with Mr Woosh.

    I've no idea and hope some kind soul can help

    SFMW, It would be helpful to know what area of the UK you live in order to assist you better. Although FreeGo have gone bust, their bikes are well made and replacement parts are generic and generally available. Battery replacements from Jimmy at: Insat International 1a Gateway Mews, Ringway...

    van moof or giant fastroad+ 2019?

    G3561, Personally I don't think either bike is suitable for what you require. georgehenry has given you some good advice above. I second the advice to find a local bike shop and have some test rides on both crank and hub drive machines. A hardtail MTB or full suspension MTB like a Haibike...

    Spidercat, A battery with a higher ah rating will give you a longer range between recharges. The power is restricted to 250w regardless of battery spec.

    Spidercat, Either bike will do the job that you require, so the only way to find out which you prefer is to take a trip to Bodiam and have test rides up a hill. Audio2 did point out that FreeGo have gone into administration, as I did on your other thread. This is not an unsurmountable problem...

    Bring back the old format web

    Crockers, I prefer the older format as well. Your "seldom appearances" quote may be indicative of the reduced numbers of active users on the new forums. I get the general impression that the old site had a larger number of active users. Perhaps the admins could let us have some monthly...
