Yes, my bike does have the nexus inter 8 hub, but my problem occurs on any gear (which makes sense as the chain doesn't move between gears). I have read in a Shimano manual that the hub fluid should be changed periodically, but no bike shop in my neighborhood does this work. The Shimano...

Tx. I have just over 4K on mine and the chain has been adjusted just once -- never replaced -- so I guess I'll have to bring it in. I was hoping for one of the very few user-serviceable bits on this bike.

My plastic Arroyo C8 chainguard rattles against the chain, anyone have any hints on how to adjust it? I see a couple of allen screws holding internal bits together.

Gazelle and the LBS were helpful on my problem, Bosch less so. I contacted Gazelle in Santa Cruz, they were nice enough to send a new Intuvia display to my LBS based on my description of the problem. They also suggested that the LBS call Bosch to try to get a new display mount. LBS had no...

I'm having the motor cutout problem with my 2018 Arroyo. Bike is at LBS now with no resolution, but I appreciate hearing about other people's problem with this, if only to back up my complaint.

I did this on my arroyo, royal pain. I ended up softening the shock a bit via an allen wrench adjustment screw, but I can't say that it made much difference. I ended up buying a better suspension seatpost, which did help.

On my 2018 Arroyo the motor starts kicking out at something like 18.2 mph, completely gone by 18.5 or 18.6 (at least according to the power bar on the speedo). Annoying. Anyone seen this? Anyone know if this is fixable? Tx

2018 Arroyo, about 1k miles. 3 times now in the 50 or so rides I've taken on this bike I've experienced a sudden loss of all power: the display stays lit, but the battery loses all power and the display power setting jumps to off. Attempts to start the motor (increment the power setting)...

The head shock on my 2018 Gazelle Arroyo is very tight, ie very little shock absorption. The manual shows a small adjustment screw under the head tube, which if I'm correct requires removal of the front wheel, the front light and the front fender. Given the iterative nature of an adjustment...

Thanks all for the replies, interesting discussion. I'll ride them both again, I might also consider the Espin flow with its well known and easily replaceable Bafang hub motor.

I'm looking to buy a step-thru ebike in the $2K range. I want a local dealer, and have narrowed my search to a new Espin Reine and demo Gazelle Medeo T9. They end up a couple of hundred dollars of each other. I've ridden them both, I think either will be fine (around town, to gym and...
