Thank you, that's really good to know that you do that. I will keep it in mind.

That's true. I hadn't though about it that way. I think my husband and son think of it like a manual but it is a heavy bike and it can go quite fast. I suppose I need to be super sure of the brakes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks I'll give them a clean next time. Sarcasm about my son's abilities is not landing well here. I'm just sayin' We're not going to have more qualified wrenches in the world if we don't let our kids try.

I'm very glad that it's the front end of the bike that goes wrong, not the back end. The back end looks much fiddlier.

The brakes are fixed now with assistance from Dad. I will keep that video carefully bookmarked so we can fix them without losing the brake fluid next time. Thank you very much.

Thanks :-) I agree. It really is amazing. I love it.

Very possibly. Good to learn new things though.

Thank you very much, that's a helpful video. Sounds like I'm going to need to get to know them in some detail. Exciting.

Hi, I have a Gazelle Ultimate C5 ladies bike and it is great. I really like riding it and use it a lot. Sometimes something goes a bit wonky and the front disk brake starts to squeal as the wheel goes round. We are gradually getting to grips with adjusting it to sort it out. Yesterday when...

It's absolutely brilliant thanks. I'm doing something slightly unusual with it, because I am using it instead of the main battery. The main battery was nearly 4kg and it was too heavy for me to carry into the house and was really weighing the bike down when I cycled. I realise that that 4kg...

Hi, Thank you very much for your help on this. The man contacted Gazelle, who contacted Bosch. Bosch wrote back and asked me to promise never to put the range extender battery in the bottle cage (not sure why). I promised and then they activated it, so it is all working now. Thank you very...

Thank you very much, I have passed that on to the man in the shop.

Hi, I wondered if anyone might have succeeded in getting a Bosch powermore 250 range extender to work with a Gazelle ultimate C5 that also has a 625Wh battery fitted? My ebike specialist dealer is trying to get this to work for me. They contacted Bosch before we started and they confirmed...

Thanks, I'll have a look at that I definitely think that reducing the power has helped. The suspension is bonkers on my bike. It's like riding on concrete wheels. Maybe I should let the tyres down a bit.

I've come down with some kind of lurgy now which is going to delay thing for a bit. I'll disappear for a little while and report back when I have had a chance to go and test the battery. Thank you very much for your help.

Oh okay. I can't ride a class 1 throttle bike. That is a motor cycle here and I don't want to get a licence

Oddly, the ladies one is much heaver at 26kg. https://www.primocycles.co.uk/shop/bikes/sub/electric/trek-2026-district-2-lowstep-400wh-101645018/ The gents one above is 22kg.

Is this the sort of thing that I should have bought, do you think? https://www.primocycles.co.uk/shop/bikes/sub/electric/trek-verve-1-m-ch-41302308/ My manual bike is this without the battery.

Thanks, yes I see what you mean. I'm stuck with this one bike, but I have a pretty good idea that it will work at low speed / low cadence if I just use it as a manual bike with the motor turned off entirely, which I should be able to do if I get the lighter battery. That way I can keep the...

Thanks for explaining. I can't pedal any faster, but it's helpful to understand how it works.
