2000 mile update:
Parts replaced:
Front brake pads
Rear brake pads x2
Chain
Cassette
Circa 5 batteries for the dongle
Otherwise it's all good.
For the last 7-800 miles at least it slipped in top gear. Apparently this was due to the chain and cassette being worn which makes sense as I've just had it serviced with these items replaced and it's now the best it's been. No more slipping in top which makes it faster and nicer to ride.
The bolts holding the motor to the frame were also tightened as it had started to make the annoying creaking sound again.
I've used it in all weathers, some weeks more than others but it's very much my primary form of transport.
I've said it before but it's SO much quicker than any other transport in London and with the mileage I've done the has already saved me over £1000. Before it's 1 year old I'd expect it to have saved the total cost of purchase in train fares!
It's had a relitavely quiet time over the summer as my road bike got some use but the mileage has been climbing more rapidly as the weather has changed.
Amazingly it's never let me down, I've never been late for work and I'm still enjoying using it.
I wouldn't recommend the shop I bought from due to the problems I had initially but would definitely recommend the bike and the motor/battery. I haven't noticed any drop in battery life so far.
It's made a big improvement in my quality of life - leaving less time to get to work then taking less time to get home.
Here's to the next 6 months and 2000 miles
