    Battery Slipping

    Yes, I have written them with pictures. So far no response. Maybe they're investigating. If my bike has a 1 year life. no bueno. I love the bike's performance. I have also purchased a new ebike to replace my raleigh for the new season with a vertical mounting system. We will see how things work out.

    Battery Slipping

    It didn't work. I will try adding washers next. Raleigh hasn't got back to me. Neither has my LBS. Bike runs well when the battery doesn't move.

    Summer Cruising on the Blix Sol

    I like this bike, but I have opted for the Aveny because the Aveny has less add on to purchase. I do prefer the cruiser style.
