    Yamaha Battery/Charger Problem

    Where did I suggest that the connector could not be repaired? I am making the point that, just as with a laptop damaged by accident, the manufacturer is perfectly correct to reject a warranty claim. I also disagree with your claim that this connector is prone to failure. There is nothing...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Inveral, badlywornroy seems very impressed by his Orbea Gain. Are you not prepared to buy one with the standard battery or is the range going to be insufficient? Magazines are there to push product, so you are right to be wary of some reviews.

    Hello all, some advice please

    Andy, Thanks for the video. You are fortunate to have so many lovely off-road trails near you. Your video should show prospective purchasers that the Bosch Active Line Plus motor can cope with hills in the mid-teen percentages, assuming the rider is not extremely heavy and/or very unfit.
