    I like the idea of this, at just £400, it really does put this in the price range for a lot of people who may well be put off by more expensive ebikes or who don't feel competent to convert with a kit. A rail season pass for a couple of stops near me (6 mile journey) is £860 per year, so this...

    German e-bike market success

    I spent a week cycle touring (non powered) last year in the Ruhr area, it seemed every other bike we saw on the paths and trails was an ebike.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Ted, this sucks, I feel for you too. Perhaps a rally of all of NI's Ebikers riding up to Stormount or something...would they arrest you all with all the publicity that would bring about ?

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Sorry to report that I had my first cut-out on my new (1st Jan) Crossfire-e today. Was stationary at the lights, pulled away, looked down and saw display off. Didn't need to re-seat the battery, but did need to power on at the battery switch (not just display switch) I did have a theory...

    what long sleeved thermals/base layers are you brave comuters using

    Forgot to add, I use a helmet rain cover, keeps the cold air and rain off my head and keeps the warmth inside...mine's a mountain warehouse one, but similar for £4 here...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    I have taken your advice and greased up the contacts with silicon grease. Still doesn't explain the cut out issue with the first generation Crossfire-e that has the same Suntour HESC system, but with a fixed, non removable display (no contacts) instead. Either way, no cutouts on my bike, 2...

    Carrera Crossfire/Vulcan Torque sensor

    Fascinating d8veh, thanks for sharing. That one is seriously caked in s$£t, no wonder it was playing up. I sometimes think that the Suntour HESC system is too clever for it's own good, and partly the reason why I wanted to trade my old crossfire-e in for a new one and get another 2 year...

    Rear racks

    I use a Tortec Transalp Disc rack with a Vaude Silkroad Rack Bag, works well for me https://www.singletrackbikes.co.uk/m11b203s491p13648/Tortec_Transalp_Rear_Disc_Pannier_Rack/RS_GB/32186?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1v32r9av2QIVYbHtCh0UGAROEAQYBCABEgKHivD_BwE...

    Surprised that not more people on this forum have B'Twin ebikes

    At £62 a pair, you paid too much for your Energiser tyres...could of got them from SJS cycles for £24 per pair (not a one off price, always this price) https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tyres/700-x-32-34622-schwalbe-energizer-plus-hs427-tyre-700-622/

    Pendleton

    Shame it's gone back up in price (Halfords prices fluctuate wildly so it could be back down again in a months time) At £500, you can knock off 10% with a British Cycling membership discount, and there's quidco/topcashback and gift voucher discount...easy to get it down to about £400 of it comes...

    Shimano BT-E6000 418w Steps Battery - Rack Mount £299 (New)

    Noticed this while browsing, seems to me a resonable price if your bike uses this https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Shimano-BT-E6000-Steps-Battery-Rack-Mount_80008.htm

    Long Distance Tourer?

    Yeah, I hear you. I'd get a fixed seatpost, swap the tyres for some wide touring (Schwalbe Big Ben, or Energisers/Marathons) and get a seatpost with pannier holes like this to fix a pannier rack (...

    Carrera Crossfire

    Pressing the buttons to change wheel size (to increase top speed) sounds more than possible, this manual from an earlier Suntour HESC model describes that setup http://srsuntour-files.dbap.de/_public/SRSUNTOUR-DOWNLOAD-AREA/E-BIKE-Service/Twin-Sensor(english-only)/Speed Indication Setting...

    Carrera Crossfire

    Thanks for the tip on the silicone grease, have ordered up a tube to put on the pins. Didn't have to worry about it on the previous model crossfire-e as the display was non removable. Any tips on anywhere else the grease can be applied or needed ?
