Still £50 off with FB50 code! Apologies for the confusion with the similarly-named Eskuta, who make road-legal scooter-style 250w EAPCs.

The last time I opened my battery to measure cell bank voltages, I noticed some corrosion spots on strips... so for a time, I'm going to imprison my battery in an airtight bag with 500g of rechargeable (by microwave) Silica Gel Dessicant Granules I bought last year.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll look out for a good deal on those. The stink of microwaved cat pee doesn't bear thinking about, will be using it to thoroughly dry out my ebike battery instead.

The gravel bike is a hub motor, so rather limited in off road ability. Fine for pot holey shopping.

The MTB is an avoid: it has the old E7000 motor, not the far better EP8, so if used hard as an MTB may fall victim to the E010 torque sensor fault. Again, likely to be fine for road use, but not as a serious MTB.

I have ridden 1000's of miles on all manner of off road on N & S Downs with a rear hub 700c Boardman and the bike has been more then capable. In fact I prefered the drive to the BBS01 I had .
With a hub chooses the correct hub and controller/ voltage system and they are happy as larry off road.

Drivetrain is ok, brakes ok, wheels ok, but the suss bits are poor by the standards of today.
Still £2k for an entry level suss is not bad

Fiido C11 City E-bike

FIIDO UK C11: Best Urban Commuter E-Bike under €900 - Premium Features: Hydraulic Brakes, Shimano 6-Speed, Removable Battery, Comfort & Safety Enhanced.
uk.fiido.com uk.fiido.com

Fiido seem to get reasonable marks for customer service, and at first sight this seems fairly good for the money.

500Wh battery, and a second battery is only £240, so great range easily possible. Useful step through design, and not ugly.

Something awful has happened to ebay bidding - despite reservations, with a view to a possible hub conversion, twice last week I attempted to "Grab a bargain" using my usual winning method ie bid as big as I can bear to part with in the last three seconds of an auction ending, leaving no time for anyone else to increase their maximum bid... only to be told the auction had ended. Suspecting Three network lag, I used a fast VPN the second time, with the same result. There's lag or newly programmed delay in the process, and I fear such last minute sniping might only be possible in future using one of the many automated sniping services which utilise multiple servers, in case one or more bids fail... and they might fail anyway if ebay has made changes. I'm reading there may now be a 10 to 15 second cutoff before the official end of ebay auctions. Has anyone else noticed similar? My days of last minute sniping manually may be over. Crappification of the internet continues apace.

Not bid for anthing for a while now as I now have all about every thing I probably will ever need . My bidding was like yours and I put in my max bid about 30 secs to go, if left bidding to much later I'd be tto late.
