    New Gtech ebike

    It's ony 1 kilo heavier than my mountain bike and much easier to ride, can't fault it really. The boost away from traffic lights and when riding into the wind is worth it alone, plus good to know I don't have to slog it up the hill on the way home from work if I don't feel like it (just...

    New Gtech ebike

    After a ride home into the wind it was on 1 bar (flashing red), ready for recharge (3hrs). It's done 53 miles on 1st charge from new which I honestly wasn't expecting at all!. Motor is mainly used when setting off, wind and hills. I normally pedal around 16.5mph which is just outside...

    Suspension seatpost

    I had no option with the spring, it came listed between 60 to 100kg?. I've set it so there's 10mm sag on the "piston" with my weight on it so see how it goes. (6 1/2 turns out from fully in).

    New Gtech ebike

    50 miles down now and still on half battery (looks like fortnightly charges will do!). Just treated myself to a Suntour NCX seatpost. Amazed at the range and it still pulls way nicely from traffic lights etc. I'm over the moon with it for commuting on, makes it a pleasure to ride to work...

    BBS02 bottom bracket?.

    Hello all, do the BBS02 kits come in different widths or are they all the same bb width?. The advert says from 68mm to 73mm so presume it's one size fits all?.

    Bike cleaning (if you don't have access to a hose)

    I bought a refurbed one from them with a years warranty for £150, still not cheep though!. Just nice having it all in one unit, it will do 2 or 3 tanks to a charge and you can keep it in the car for quick washdowns after offroading. It has a filter screen so you could fill it up from a stream...

    Newbie introducing myself

    I've just bought a Suntour NCX seatpost to help out with the bigger bumps, thin tyres are great for less resistance but you can deffinitely feel the bumps more!.

    New Gtech ebike

    I just put "Gates carbon drive" into the search on Google Play store and it came up as the first app on the list. It was free as well which is a bonus!. You can buy tension gauge as well but the app worked perfectly for me!.

    New Gtech ebike

    There's an application for iPhone or Andoid smart phone from Gates to set the carbon belt tension. Basically you pluck the belt like a guitar string and it measures the pitch or frequency of the belt. You adjust the belt to get the recommended frequency so the belt is at ideal the tension...

    Hub Drive or Crank Drive?..

    Sound interesting!, I have my Carrera Vengeance Ultimate at work, may turn that into an ebike hybrid at some point in the future?. Given the Gtech "small" 200 watt hour battery I have no range anxiety (should hopefully get 70 to 80 miles out of it). 2 front chainrings could be a plan!. I've...
