You mention housemates. Are you in a shared house? If so, it is likely the theft is connected to your housemates in some way. Probably not one of them directly, but they may have had a visitor who scoped out what was available to steal in the house and how best to do it. Alternatively, if...

Farage has consistently campaigned against the EU. His chosen method - 'inside the tent, peeing in' - has proved to be more effective than the more obvious 'outside the tent, peeing in' approach. You may disagree with his politics, but to try to ridicule him as a hypocrite is inaccurate.

Which illustrates why the constantly recurring range question is so hard to answer. "Between 16 and 60 miles" is accurate, but not what most questioners want to hear. You've done well to flatten a battery in 16 miles, the best I've ever managed is low 20s.

Hope - the ticking sound of quality. According to some, as you say.

I have a similar vintage AVE/Bosch bike with 20" wheels. Excellent, well-made bike, typical sturdy German manufacture. Yours - with a bit knocked off - is a decent buy, particularly in comparison to new Chinese.

That Amazon Marketplace 'storefront' is 'just launched' and has 170 pages of heavily discounted consumer goodies. If it's straight, I will eat my cycling cap. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=sr_pg_1?me=A3RI7NWP5SIIPJ&rh=i%3Amerchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1487957567

The likes of Magic Mary and Hans Dampf are very soft compound and will wear very quickly in road use, which the OP says he does as well as trails. Something a bit more general from Schwalbe would be more suitable, Rapid Rob or Nobby Nic. Although they might not be much of an upgrade on the...

And now Scott by the look of it. Is this the motor that usually has no handlebar control? A bit of a weakness in my view. I don't change levels very often, but reaching down to the battery to do it wouldn't work for me...

Your use is probably better suited to a hardtail. All those bushes and bearings on a full-sus require quite a bit of fettling to keep them running sweetly. The Bosch Performance/CX motor is tuned for sporty riding, so the torque is all but instant, certainly livelier than the standard motor...

I doubt an ebike is more prone to wanton vandalism than any other bicycle. Mine rarely leaves my sight, so if someone wants to sabotage my bike they would have to sabotage me first - I would get extremely grumpy and bad tempered in such a situation. Inevitably, there are some journeys I would...

The battery should work as specified, although some users haven't been very impressed with the performance of the battery. If - big if - I thought it was any good, I would be looking to negotiate with the supplier to keep the existing battery and get a spare at an advantageous rate. That would...

Build is just as important as components. Alex is a decent brand, and you can reasonably expect a wheel built by Riese and Muller to be done properly. Worth bearing in mind the MD40 is a 650b plus size rim, the 'plus' meaning wide. This means any tyre less than two inches wide may not sit...

The connections on the Intuvia display can be temperamental. You could try wiping the back of the display and the top of the mount with a dry cloth or dampen the cloth with a tiny amount of light degreaser such as methylated spirit. I'm not sure why you want to remove the display after each...

I think you will always struggle against 'fair wear and tear' when making a warranty claim. But the longer warranty may indicate Shimano expects those products to last a bit longer.

Looks like a Deore cassette. I wonder if it's worth replacing it with a SLX or XT. Always hard to judge what - if anything - you get for the extra money. It could be lightness as much as durability. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cassettes?f=4294964100,4294963637

Reminds me of a conversation I overheard at Parkhead Station, a cafe on the Coast to Coast route in County Durham. A couple of cyclists with American accents were chatting to a couple of locals. One of the Americans said they were from Alaska, leading one of the locals to quip that was a long...

Presumably it's one of these: http://westhillbikes.com/product/ghost/ Someone might know if there's a command to derestrict the 15mph speed limit.

A pic of the bike showing the motor and the control panel on the handlebars would give everyone a better idea.

Martin at e-bikeshop does have an, er, unusual business model. I've never bought a bike from him, but he did supply me with a spare Bosch battery - at a small discount - a few years ago. This means I am 'in the club' which used to be more of a benefit than it is now. At one time, he was one...

The front ring is one of the few reasonably priced spares for the Bosch motor. Original ones can be had for under £15, pattern ones for less than a tenner. The lock ring is a left hand thread, I undid mine by tapping it with a blunt screwdriver so there's no need for the tool. Bike Discount...
