Should I change my teeth? Designer Daimler Mercedes Benz Smart eBike

[Smart eBiker]

I am due for a service soon on my Designer Daimler Mercedes Benz Smart eBike, I spoke with the Mercedes Smart technician who services them, I explained how I would like to go a little faster on the flat and he told me that my bike came as standard with a 22 tooth belt pulley, he said that Mercedes Smart eBikes can be upgraded to a 20 tooth belt pulley for more speed, or a 24 tooth belt pulley to help getting up hills, I have no problems with hills due to my muscular legs but am looking at dropping down to 20 teeth to get more speed, after the motor cuts out at 15mph it would help me drive forward. The cost of the belt pulley is around £68 plus about half an hours Mercedes technician time to fit, so possibly £120 or so here in London, so looking at having it all done at the time of the annual service.

So should I go for this upgrade? From what I have read I am sure there are some forum members here who know about teeth and the effect that losing some can have. I would like to know if there is a ratio of what I could expect to gain for the money in order to manage expectations.

Thanks in advance,

Designer Daimler Mercedes Benz Smart eBike owner/rider

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can not improve perfection, a design classic, classic design

Such a machine it must be left as god intended

This is an option that the designer gave this designer Daimler Mercedes Benz Smart eBike, so has his blessing, it is original parts supplied by and fitted by Mercedes, not some dodgy back street ebike dealer interfering with this unique piece of eBike art.

I though the question was about teeth whitening/ braces to stay as cool as the bike. My mistake sorry

Dropping of a friend at the local Merc place,they had a delivery of mohair polishing cloths for these bikes. Nice thing champagne mohair triangle with a leather back ,gold embossed logo ,folds into a pack with a gold plated zip, neat little plate for your initials. Friend tried to blag one but no bike no cloth. Make sure you get yours as some had been nicked by sales guys already.

"New wine in old skins", don't let them trick you.

Once yours is defaced it will be lost.

Do you have a product code or name, I did a search on google but can't find anything. I will ask the technician, maybe I will get one thrown in with the £300 service

Surely I could keep the old 22 tooth pulley and refit it if I sold the Daimler Mercedes Smart eBike to a lazy fat bloke!

God and delusion, that fits in nicely with the thread.

if you want to go faster buy a decent bike in the first place its not worth spending anything on it tbh.

if you sell it you will take a massive loss on what you paid for it my bike had 160 miles on it and was 2 grand cheaper than the rrp new.

Just a label with I think Roberto Caval or Cavalli and Made in Italy.

I'm not worried about the money, just in search of perfection like my lucky wife

Do not think of yourself, think of the future generations that will look upon this masterpiece unadulterated.

Form over function, surely that is your creed.

If your lucky wife is still in search of perfection, you may be grateful for the bike

She isn't looking, she has found it, she married me

That's not what you said.

And you know what Freud said, do you want to tell us more?

If she's lucky there's a good chance she'll find it one day, tell her not to give up.

Is she from Thailand?

 

[Smart eBiker]

Yes, in fact she is titled, her official name is Lady Buoy, I don't know what that entitles me to be called, but when I mentioned it to some friends they seemed a bit rude and said it was just a load of b*llocks and I would just find it a pain in the @rse :-(
