    Motor clicking

    The noise is definitely coming from the motor. I can hear it when I pedal and the noise stops when I stop pedalling.

    Motor clicking

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've had the clicking pedal problem before. I'll switch pedals and take the bike for a test ride today.

    Motor clicking

    My Bosch gen 4 motor has just over 12,000km on it and I've just started to notice a clicking sound while peddling. When I stop pedding the noise stops, so it's most likely coming from the motor. Any thoughts on the reason for the clicking noise?

    New Bosch Gen1–Gen4 Unlock Tool – No Chip, No Errors, Full Reset

    I purchased a Bosch unlock chip from epic eBikes over three years ago and have zero issues with it. The only precaution I take, to prevent the dreaded error code, is that I don't manually turn the bike off when I finish my ride. I let the bike chip/computer 'count down' on its own. The chip...

    New Bosch Gen1–Gen4 Unlock Tool – No Chip, No Errors, Full Reset

    Just curious-how does a bike shop connect a Bosch motor ebike to their computer for upgrades?

    Juice's Alarm - another "best" product!

    I ended up putting both horns in my bike parts drawer because both batteries needed to be recharged after every ride and if the bike was left sitting for a week the battery would go dead.

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    A couple of days ago I went on the Canadian Cannondale website and noticed that the Neo Topstone Lefty is no longer listed.

    Kindernay maintenance.

    I wonder if he mistakenly said 20ml instead of the recommended 30ml.

    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    A front carbon fork, with a front wheel hub motor, wouldn't be a good combo.

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    Has anyone installed this kit on a bike with a carbon frame? I have a Giant Defy road bike, with a carbon frame, and I'm looking for a DIY kit to give me a boost on the hills. Is the roller pressed against the tire 100% of the time? If so, I'm wondering how much of a drag it creates, when...

    Any recommendations for a lightweight ebike conversion kit for road bikes?

    I think the Skarper looks weird, but it looks like it might actually work on carbon framed bike. What I really don't like is the price.

    Any recommendations for a lightweight ebike conversion kit for road bikes?

    My favourite local bike shop offered me a good deal on an Addict eRide, but I didn't like the bike's 'racer' geometry, which is a shame, because the bike looks awesome. At 73 my body likes the more relaxed geometry. One kit that looks interesting is the Boost kit from the UK. The two negatives...

    Winter riding on the Zen Photon.

    @DrewInSK, did you order your new display from Zen? I'm asking because my wife has the older stock display on her Photon and doesn't like it. She finds it hard to read in bright sunlight.

    Any recommendations for a lightweight ebike conversion kit for road bikes?

    As I already mentioned, this kit will not fit on a road bike frame. Look at how it mounts to the bike's frame.
