    Hello

    Welcome, crossfire-e pilot here, I'm debating whether to build up an old MTB i have with a kit as a bit of fun, or to bag a Vulcan-e like yours on the C2W scheme for some off road fun. How do you find it off road ?

    Recommendations for conversion

    Hi all 2 year ebike rider Crossfire-e owner here, pleased with that as a commuter/tourer, but now, after finding my beloved 1999 GT Avalanche at the back of the garage, am looking to convert that for a off road hack, something I can use on bridal paths, coast paths, places where the Crossfire-e...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Will this (or any other kit you are working on) derestrict the Crossfire-e ? I'm not interested in using a throttle but would like to get another 3-4 mph top speed. If you could do that, then you would sell hundreds of them

    Carrera crossfire/vulcan tuning

    Wishing you luck. Some have mentioned on here that they have spoken to people who say it CAN be derestricted, but no details on how to :-( It would be nice to eek out another 3-4 mph

    Smaller Wheel = Fewer Broken Spokes?

    Crossfire-e spokes I have found break at the nipple (rim) end, about 1mm or 2mm into the nipple in my experience, always on the cassette side for some reason

    Pleasant ride, sunshine but something missing?

    Yep, some great riding down there, watch out for the big hills ! It's a ball ache coming from the west (weymouth) to get there, having to ride on the busy main road eastwards from Weymouth. I tend to go up to Dorchester, pick up the national cycle route no.2 to wool, and then down to the...

    Pleasant ride, sunshine but something missing?

    Looks like the Harvester on Bowleaze hill, over looking Weymouth Bay and Portland. Nice spot. Did I happen to spy you guys a couple of weeks ago in the beer garden of the Black Bear at Wool ? I see a trend here if so lol

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Good luck Ted, hope it goes well. If I was living in NI, and as a keen ebiker, I would make a point of getting a banner and be stood at the entrance for when he (and you) arrive on the 30th. Get the local press down there and get some quotes from this MP post the meeting. Come on NI ebikers...

    Have bike, where to cycle?

    Oh, try the Kennet and Avon canal route, you can get from the Thames cycle route west to Reading, have a stop over there (or catch the train to Reading from London ) and perhaps another in Newbury. Have a night in Bath and then train back. Bit muddy in parts at this time of the year (we did it...

    The South Downs Way route from Guildford to Shoreham is magnificent, we caught the train up from Dorset to Guildford last summer, rode that route down to the airport at Shoreham (for afternoon tea, beautiful building), and caught the train back home. Long day (we were on non powered hybrid...

    First Ride on my b-Twin Bafang 250 mid Drive

    You can get seat post racks with support arms that bolt onto the rear triangle but yours being a full susser that won't work. As d8veh says only a matter of time before it snaps. The doner bike is not ideal for this battery placement

    "And if you fancy a bit of extra speed, you can unplug the white wire which limits the motor to the EU-regulated 15.5mph. This gives you a few extra mph that'll let you cruise at a comfortable 20mph."
