I dont have any photos of it to be honest, but its a KTM Macina Sport CX with carbon fiber frame and 75nm motor. Mostly Shimano stuff on it. In truth, I have had pretty much no issues with it. Never replaced anything except for things like break pads and discs. Nothing in particular that I am...

Wow, funny how you know of dealerships I have never heard of :D I guess most of my searches have been too local to discover them. I think Cykloteket is probably one of the most well known and respected chain of stores around here, but they sadly removed their store in my area. As I mentioned...

I think ( based on the guide at https://bicifix.es/bosch-e-bike-motors-guide/ ) it is actually a generation 2 motor, the CX model was brand new when I purchased the bike :) It was not available in Sweden, so I purchased my bike from an English dealership online :D If they provide spare parts...

Haha, not the direction I would have guessed (obviously), but yeah there are some remote locations in most areas :) But far up north is like proper wilderness with miles to the nearest neighbor, that kind of thing. Personally, I would never be able to live like that :D I am way too comfortable...

I have seen stores selling Specialized here, but I would say Scott is probably the most common e-bike brand for the last 10+ years. Trek also seems popular nowadays. You consider Specialized to be better than Bosch-driven bikes? What would you consider to be the benefits? I saw 90nm torque...

General question though to all of you: do you think that it is worth spending a lot of money on these kinds of repairs / replacements on a bike that is 10 years old? Or should I expect the bike itself to require extensive services in the coming years as well? I love the bike, just a little bit...

Suburbs of Stockholm here, but I honestly dont own a car, which means anything within biking distance would be preferable. Sadly (for situations like this) its mostly residential areas around here. There used to be quite a lot of bicycle retailers around, but I suspect most of the business has...

He lives up north somewhere? :p

Thanks man :D Appreciate the effort! You are right though, Norway would probably be a hassle (being a non-EU country). And the reason they have a Swedish information page is for all the "Swedish Finns" who are born in Finland but who actually speak Swedish (with an interesting accent) instead...

Yeah, I agree that it sounds a bit like something could be wrong with the electronics (as well as the engine?). I checked around for bike motor repairs in Sweden, but was unable to find any. I'm honestly not sure why, even checking with the local repair shop I mentioned previously their...

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense and kind of sounds familiar now that you mention it :) I'm from Sweden.

Also, I'm (sadly) pretty sure the issues will come back soon enough. I'm just glad if it works for the daily commute for a bit longer.

Are they not interchangeable? :P Sorry, non-native English speaker here... In my mind they are pretty much the same, but I will try to stick to motor from now on :D

Thanks for the feedback, guys! To be honest, the repair shop I mentioned is part of the only e-bike dealership available within a reasonable distance. They are also unwilling to help diagnose the bike without me booking a time and paying for a service, simply to find out what is wrong with it...

Hi everyone, I have a KTM e-bike that is almost 10 years old by now and it has worked flawlessly until last autumn. One day I was going to bike home from work and the engine made a really unhappy sound as soon as it started doing any heavy lifting. I was afraid the engine was busted (even...
