Suspect issue isn't tighting knob so it clicks. This is what happened to me. Now have one handle bar 1" shorter than the other. Can vouch for strength of wheel straps. If you use drop release to access trunk make sure you pull test rack after clicking it back into place. Hadn't push mine home...

Bosch chargers convert AC to DC before using DC-DV converter to isloate and drop voltage. This is how 99.9% of power supplies work these days. Hz don't matter and in lot cases will handle 110-240AC. The old heavy reliable transformers are long gone. They were Hz and Voltage specific.

An extension will reduce amount of piston travel available. Chances are won't be able to apply full pressure before lever hits handlebar. Wouldn't trust a bolt on extension as its likely to give when you need max braking force, Murphy's Law.

Bosch ebike chargers seem to turn off once battery is fully charged. While charging battery charge state lights flash. Once charged lights go out.

Preferred chemistry for storage batteries where weight isn't so important. Same goes for new house batteries in RVs.

I've Cube FS MTB, as brand their bikes tend to be better spec than competition for same price. One of biggest manufacturers in europe with spares easy to source via German online shops Bike24 and Bikediscount.

I had Trek Powerfly HT and no matter what I did still gave me knee issues, had same issue with another manual MTB. The only solution was new bike in both cases, different brands. My lastest ebike is same model as wife's, did few 100kms on her medium frame with no issues so bought L frame...

Life time of cycling, mainly commuting, touring and MTBing, 25000kms of that riding is on middrives. Finally broke my first chain couple months ago on middrive, turbo and wrong gear at lights. Was easy fix with chainbreak tool and spare link. If I was worried about broken chains would buy...

As Fooferdoggie said the Gen2 CX motors have 2.5 internal gear ratio which makes 15t =37.5t chainring. Changing chainrings is easy with tool mention. Likes of bike24.com or bikediscount sell a range of sizes from 14-20t along with tool. Unfortunately some bike manufacturers had chainrings with...

Step through are so much easier to mount and dismount. I quite often scoot bike with one leg then slide the other leg through once under way, repeat for dismounting. Doubt you can do that with low step. Dropper posts are brillant for stop start traffic as you can lower seat and place both feet...

Aliexpress sell shimano ones and don't have problem exporting to where ever. Just make they are original Shimano parts.

Shimano 11spd cassette allow for individual sprocket replacements which makes them cheaper to operate than 10 or 9spds for riders like you. Not sure if SRAM cassettes allow this, you might have to do some homework.

Use "dielectric grease" to protect contacts. See link as one example https://www.everythingaeroflow.co.nz/AF4030-8804?gclid=CjwKCAjw8ZKmBhArEiwAspcJ7v7jwBnGV6KXNYPhMriIiUdyExwuAZAJrkPDtkwt7K5iHgeNpIQrchoCIcYQAvD_BwE

This how I carry them in caravan. May give you some ideas. Given extra movement in truck need to attach rack to ply sheet more securely than how I've done it. Alternatively use aboves idea with wheel arms from roof rack carrier but bolt to sheet of heavy ply along with some blocks of wood to...

Given they are both doing it, could be dirty contacts on bike, batteries and charger. Check male pins on bike and charger, clean with cotton bud and alcohol. If they were dirty plug charger in turned off with pins damp with alcohol, remove clean and repeat. Its about only way I can think of...

I'd run 42 on rear. At max pressure difference in rolling resist between it and 38 is insignificant. Where 42 shines is dropping pressure for rougher surfaces eg gravel roads and rail trails, gives lot more comfort and traction.

Ride half dozen bikes of various types and price ranges before deciding. There is significant difference in power delivery between torque sensing middrive and cadence sensing hub drive. Buy cheap and you may end buying twice or with bike stays in garage.

If bike is still in warranty shop should be replacing it for free. Looks like manfacturing defect unless you have over inflated it.

Also test ride with your child, they make big difference to handling. Terns excel at load carrying. HSD sport is class 3 but not powerful enough for sustain riding at 28mph more for quick bursts to merge with traffic.

If your wife is sharing bike get a stepthrough, this even more important if carrying heavy child on back. Allows rider to have both feet planted on ground when stopped. May have to forgo class 3. Terns are worth looking at if carrying child on regular basis, depending model will carry an adult...
