    Ergon GP3, or The Ultimate Bike Grip (Hand Position Tutorial)

    Or just plain FAKES Typically a quarter to a third of the price, all reversed engineered with no design or development needed, no expensive marketing. Often 80% of the product for 25% the price. Morally wrong and i wouldn;t go near anything like carbon bars/stems/seats from such sellers

    Suggestions for a £1,000 (ish) E-Bike (Manchester, UK). Wanted Van Moof but nowhere near me

    A few other options in nearly new models at Tredz, these are often just transit marked bikes, unused.. https://www.tredz.co.uk/nearly-new-electric-bikes/xsrt/priceasc nothing Mountain bike per se but if you want to commute on road then a mtb can be draggy and noisy (tyre drag). All depends...

    What to look for Buying used?

    Well the spec is what it is, so component specs and weight aside... > Any warranty left ? Is it transferable (probably not) > battery level and condition, charger operation, range displayed on the computer display > all keys are present, the battery locks / unlocks (diengages/engages...

    R&M Charger3, corrosio frame possible ?

    Are these bumps from transit damage ? If so, i'd be raising with the supplier; even if the package looked fine on delivery you cannot check the internal parts until after any courier has left.

    Redshift Announces 3 Day 25% Off Black Friday Sale

    Received today, fulfilled by Amazon UK so anyone worried about additional import taxes etc has no need to - i paid an approximate extra $25 at the order check out. Given this is still £149.95 on AmazonUK, $132 delivered is pretty handy saving.

    Vee Tire Speedsters

    Fresh tyres, straight out of the mould will have release agents on them - a good wash with dish soap helps, but go easy for the first 20 miles or so

    Looking to spend £2500 on an ebike..

    The Cube looks a decent bike, but it's another MTB hardtail like the Forme Alport in your opening post, compared to the Haibike touring bike. The Cube is more aligned to the Haibike Sduro Hardseven models, in which case have you looked at Giant Fathom E TMB models ? Conversely the Giant...

    Redshift Announces 3 Day 25% Off Black Friday Sale

    Just ordered my stem, $135 with supposed taxes paid to UK. Time will tell, hopefully order being fulfilled locally as every time I buy anything from the USA I get stung for import taxes, vat and handling fees !

    Resale Value

    Local market forces will determine the value , but given the lead times and general lack of branded stocks in stores etc, you may well find a keen buyer leaving you with little loss (15%). Not that its a lot of use but i've seen this week in UK eBay 3-4yr old mediocre/entry level ebikes make...

    Flash Bike problem, need a little help!

    Looks like the handle bar modular only has a short wire section to an inline connector - given you've probably broken/remade this connection a few times it probably isn;t a corroded terminal in the connection due to water ingress, but always worth a look with a magnifying glass. There a big...

    Ebike battery causes explosion in apartment block

    Nothing wrong with what you posted, it’s sound advice - pity the manufacturers don’t elaborate on safe charging and storage locations/ risk mitigation

    Flash Bike problem, need a little help!

    Presumably the assist still works, its just stuck in one assist level ? And you've lost the turn signal - is that on the same handlebar module, with common cabling ? Clean all connectors would be my first port of call. Then check cables particularly around entry points to the frame for any...

    Ebike battery causes explosion in apartment block

    Agreed - And where is that in your user manual ? sure isn’t in my Giant manual or my wife’s Kalkhoff manual , wonder if any manual does give such guidance? In the RC world it was quite common practice with li-po batteries to use ammo cases and/or li-po charging sacks when charging and...

    Ebike battery causes explosion in apartment block

    The battery was not on charge at the time, just being stored in the house. Whether he was smart to move it a bathroom or should have taken outside is open for debate, no-one knows the full details of his mobility, time to take outside etc. He was lucky it didn’t fail while carrying it...

    Poor Kalkhoff aftersales service

    Stumbled across this tonight, another German while parts site... https://www.radversender.de/Ladegeraet-CHARGER-Elektro-Fahrrad-36V-Pedelec-E-Bike-Batterie-Akku-42V-30A Could be worth an email exchange, they certainly have a few BMZ compatible items in their listings.

    Ebike battery causes explosion in apartment block

    Posted on pedelcs forum earlier, this is a google translate transcript from the German newspaper report. Little in the way of specific detail, and nothing to say the battery hadn’t previously been dropped or put on a faulty or incorrect charger etc etc etc.. Practical eBikes are very popular...
