    i ve tried to dismantle today and managed to get the tube out from under the tyre. But i cannot seperate the tube from the bike as i havent quite managed to dismantle the spindle. Also i forgot tp get a bump so i decided to call it a day.

    I ran into my first problem

    Yes I see now. I thought it was all for the front wheel. But I think I can do it. A few more newbie questions though: All the air seems to have already escaped from my rear wheel. And basically the whole tyre seems flattened. I was just wondering if I need the replace the tube inside the...

    I have recieved the tyres but these couple of days are the busiest by far as deadlines are approaching so I may have to wait abit before trying to play with my bike.

    I ran into my first problem

    There were quite a few nylon ties which came with the bike so thats ok. Also the tyre levers seems to be quite cheap so thats good. So I will definitely have a go once the tyres arrives.

    I ran into my first problem

    Thank you for your detailed instructions. But I forgot tp mention that its my rear wheel that is punctured. However, I suppose i can have some practice with the working front wheel first. I think I will need to get a bicycle lever and a pump, but can you tell me what the former is? I have...

    Just received my Quando II

    That makes complete sense now. Was wondering what the flutuation in battery content was all about. :) The bike is very fast to accelerate from stand still. This I think is one of the strong points of ebikes. Stopping for the traffic light and starting up again at green is effortless. One...

    Just received my Quando II

    thx for the tip but I think I will leave it for the time being. About the red yellow and green lights. Is that the battery gauge? It seems to change to red when I go up hill and green on flat.

    Buying spare batteries

    Hi guys, I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy more batteries so that you can travel over longer distances. How much are the batteries anyway?
