    Dreaded crossfire cutout.

    Hey man, I had this exact issue with my crossfire and it was a massive headache for me! Staff at my Halfords ended admitting to me that they shouldn't sell the bike due to the high amount they get back. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/crossfire-e-dumped-for-crossfuse.32602/ I made a...

    Back spray with rear mud guards

    So I've tried two sets of rear mud guards and I still get really bad back spray when it rains! Sounds silly but what am I doing wrong?

    First confrontation.

    Yeah.... i may have said "what the f has it got to do with you? who the hell am I cheating??" I think I was pissed because he made me take out my earphones. First off I thought he was telling me something was wrong with my bike. I can deal with banter but this 100% wasn't! I've been lucky...

    Cycling to work this morning I stopped at the lights and another cyclist stopped next and randomly called me a cheater. "Oi that's cheating riding that" Yeah.... it was 6.30am and I hadn't had my coffee so I didn't really deal with it the best way.... I may have got a bit angry, got a bit...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    So much useful information in here! Thanks for your replies! The long and short of it, it really depends on how you ride the bike? Most of my time is spend on the flat using tour mode. I'm a big rider at 98kg and I do spend a lot of time stood up as I like riding that way so I think they will...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    That is a very nice sporty motor! You've got 30 Nm more torque than me! I think the Active Line Plus motor is a bit more friendly to the drive system as it's a weaker motor! I love the look of the Giant E+! You've got a nice bike! I mainly do road riding as well :)

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    I've put together a chain cleaning kit. degreaser, Chain cleaning brush, 3 in 1 chain spray ( It was recommended to me ) and a bunch of rags to clean it up. I'm planning on cleaning the chain every 100ish miles depending on the weather! The active line plus isn't that powerful so I'm hoping...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    I've been looking at buying some supplies for my bike just in case I need anything I will have to hand. My question what is the best Ebike cassette + chain combo for long life? I'd rather pay the extra money and get more miles out of my parts. I've been reading that mid drive motors needs...

    Back pedalling turns on Bosch display??Active line Plus motor!

    Hi all, So I thought I've been going mad thinking that my bike has been turning itself on by itself when I've been reversing the bike put of the bike cages at at. So while cleaning the chain today I was back pedalling the bike and I noticed the display turn on! So I turn it off again, I then...

    30 very happy miles on my new Crossfuse!

    It nearly put me off to be honest but I did a lot of research about ebike and the Crossfuse is a really big up upgrade so I just paid the extra cash!

    30 very happy miles on my new Crossfuse!

    Mike, I was told the exact same thing "the bike is just heavy". I knew something wasn't right because it was almost unrideable with the motor off. Also the "eco" mode was completely useless, barely did anything! The eco mode of the crossfuse is MUCH better. You do notice the extra weight on...
