He was probably on drugs...... We all know what cyclists are like these days with their Lance Armstrong type substances.

I also have a Victorinox swiss army knife..... but that is permanently on my keyring, so its always with me whatever i'm doing.

I just have a small 15mm spanner for the hub motor axle..... And this... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002CLXUR0/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Although i only paid £9.99 for it. Takes up less room than a pack of fags.

Copy the mail and paste it on this thread.

I would ascertain that from them telling you to come back, its probably likely that the dealer had no idea of this issue of KPH only. However, ignorance is not a defence in law...... and furthermore Giant were certainly aware of this issue and should have made it clear to their dealers. I would...

Giant certainly knew about the display being KPH only..... But as is the way with selling, big up all the good points of a product, keep schtum about any bad ones that might put customers off......... if you can legally get away with it. Giant should at least have mentioned the display in their...

You can be confident all you like but it still doesn't make it a certainty for the future.

I dont see the KPH only display as much of an issue..... What i would have had an issue with, is the fact i wasn't informed of it before buying the bike. A company shouldn't just tell customers after and just expect them to suck it up.

I agree, 20mph will be the cut off speed for my next kit that i fit. I see that speed as a happy medium between just enough speed & battery range.

Any more Mystic Meg's in here that absolutely, definitely know whats going to happen in the future ? If so, i'll have next weeks Lotto numbers. Ta.

Authorities say all sorts of things and make rules that are later changed. Nothing stays the same for ever.

There was even a debate recently about raising the motorway speed limit from 70 to 80..... It never happened, but that doesn't mean it wont get debated again and next time it could be changed. I think there's a good argument for the cut off speed to be raised from 15.5 to 20mph...... it may...

Well you were clearly wrong about speed limits only always going down....... but i suspect you had no knowledge of HGV legislation and the recent changes. But thats what you get by making sweeping statements. As for saying pedelecs wont be..... how do you know this for certain ? Its just what...

Well the HGV speed limits are highway speed limits..... speed limits specifically just for HGV vehicles. Just like the 15.5 mph cut off is specifically for Ebikes. There's no reason why the ebike 15.5 mph cut off couldn't be raised..... just like HGV speed limits were raised.

Everyone with a problem should go back to Halfords, it only when they get loads of returns and it starts costing them a substantial amount, that they'll do something to stop it happening to all the CrossfireE's that they sell.

Well thats incorrect..... Recently HGV speed limits were raised from 40 on single carriageways to 50... and from 50 on dual carriageways to 60.

Why would you not go back to them ? They sold you the bike, it has a fault, its their responsibility to rectify it. I would also show them this thread with all the other people that have had the same problems with this CrossfireE.

Well you've lost me..... I'll leave you to talk to Soundwave, he's probably your intellectual equivalent.

Yeah you're probably right..... I guess it goes slightly over the legal 15.5 mph.

So what size watt is that big ass hub motor then ?
