    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    I have got the option for C2W if needed in the future, I might use that if there are no good discounts at the time, but it's rubbish it's limited to £1k, and my workplace are not interested in the green initiative scheme (for bikes over a grand)

    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    I paid about £640 (after various discounts) for my new Crossfire-e in Aug 2016, used it for 4000+ miles and nearly 18 months, and sold it a few weeks ago to a mate for £400 (still in great condition). Bought a new Crossfire-e a month ago at £607 (again after various discounts), so just over...

    Has someone hacked your account d8veh? Surprised that you are promoting these bikes (at any price) considering your previous comments in various related threads

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Just been out on the 6 month old mrs' crossfire-e (ladies version), and it's instantly noticeably quicker on acceleration and pulling power up hills. Although it's more awkward to ride for me, my time up my commute hill (length 0.6 mile, average 7% gradient) was 2-3mph quicker than my average...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    NewtSoup, demand a new crossfire-e, the very newest stock they have (or get them to order one in) I've had my new one for 4 weeks, ridden daily, 200+ miles, not a single cutout, up hills and down, in all weathers (mainly rain at the moment). If they do that and you still get problems with the...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    I forgot to mention, my new Crossfire seems to have less power than my old one, particularly noticeable uphill or when in headwinds. I have to put more effort in to achieve the same speeds, especially up hills. I thought initially that perhaps the new one needs to loosen up or run in and...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Interesting reading, and I feel for you having to experience all of those issues especially as you are so reliant on the bike for your job. 2K miles in 3-4 mths, that's going some ! I have had a few cutout's on my old crossfire-e (purchased in Aug '06), however, not seen it happen in the same...

    Carrera Crossfire ebike Battery Charger

    While I'm a big fan of the crossfire-e and have just bought a new one to replace my current one (got another great deal, £607 after various discounts, cashbacks ect), with all the problems you are having, it might be best to demand your money back and go elsewhere

    What a good feeling...

    Great advice. I have found the Aldi winter cycling gloves at £4.99 surprisingly warm, no need for liner gloves. I also use one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263138543834, when the temperature is 0deg or above, any lower and it's the full face balaclava

    What a good feeling...

    Well done oyster. Not sure if your commute is in town or through the (lovely) Pembrokeshire countryside, but I find the greatest satisfaction is looking across from my cycle route (separate cycle path) and seeing the traffic crawling bumper to bumper. Arriving quicker than my car driving...
