    Bosch Performance Line 3.0 65Nm owners please respond.

    I have written about this before but so far after almost a year of ownership I do not have answers and would like to find a solution. From day one my bike this motor has ”rattled/clunked“ when I go over bumps. This happens with or without assist when the cranks are horizontal without any...

    Bosch Performance Line MY 20

    I have this motor in a Gazelle Ultimate T10. I really like the bike but there is some rattling or clunking going on that is really annoying. It does not show up on smooth roads but if there are ripples or rough asphalt I can hear it. The dealer, a certified Bosch person has looked at it but...

    First charge distance travelled

    Finally did my first charge and was then able to see how far I would get. 180 km. Which comes out to 109 miles (if the measuring is accurate). To me this is pretty good. I believe it is this high because this bike is so easy to pedal without assist. For this reason I pedal as much of the...

    Gazelle Ultimate Headshock Adjustment

    I would like to soften the front forks on my bike but it is not clear on how to do this. The manual on line shows a bolt up from the bottom to loosen or tighten. But the fender is there on this bike. Do you have to take the fender off to make changes? Of can you change the setting with the...

    New Gazelle Ultimate t10 Purchase thoughts

    Not much is written here so I thought I would contribute my experiences on my T10. Some background: This is my 3rd e bike in less than 5 months. I bought a slightly used 2020 Giant Amiti and rode it for 2 weeks. I had ridden a couple of them and the loud motor noise never annoyed me. But...

    Schwalbe tire question

    I have a new Gazelle Ultimate that has Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires on it. From what I have read these are good tires made for E bikes and they have pretty good protection from road hazards. However, I am finding the ride very harsh even though I have a Kinekt seatpost. I have used this...

    Como 3 vs Como 4 significant differences?

    I have decided on a Como but looking at the slight differences between them it is difficult to determine if the 4 is worth the extra money. The battery is slightly bigger but it sounds like it is different in some way but is it? The charger has a higher capacity which might be good. Are the...

    Noise from the motor?

    I finally bought an hardly used Amiti and went for a 2.5 Year hour ride yesterday. I like it a lot but it seems to me that the motor makes quite a bit of whirring and humming noise. At least is sounds louder than the new ones I have had test rides on. How much is OK? Thanks.

    Questions I have about the Amiti.

    Hello. Browneye has answered some of my questions but I have some more before I head to my appointment at the Giant store later today. First of all I cannot tell from my reading whether or not I can use my iPad Pro to change settings on this bike. It appears you must use a phone. Can I use...

    Trek Verve + low step dimensions

    Hi I have been looking at this model and have ridden them and find them very comfortable. There aren’t any 2019 small ones left but there might be a medium at one store. But with the lockdowns etc it is difficult to get to the store and I would like to look at the numbers before bothering...

    Battery strap/holder options?

    I like the Amiti and am serious considering buying one, BUT I have read about the high risk of dropping the batteries. A relative of a guy I know has managed to drop theirs. It ended up OK but...... My 74 year old hands can‘t be fully trusted as arthritis moves in. So, has anyone...

    Trek “quill” stem question.

    I am in the process of deciding on an ebike. The Verve is one I like. But... I would like to be able to put a different stem on it and maybe a higher fork steerer extension . I have heard there is an adapter that can modify/allow this but have not been able to locate information on it. If...

    For those who are shopping for their first e-bike....

    I can’t remember where this quotation came from but it went something like: If you are buying something don’t talk to people who have already bought one but talk with others who are in the same process as you. The main reason for this is that many people who have purchased the item will not...

    A question about the Amiti e which may relate to other e bikes.

    I am very new to e bikes and have been out riding four different brands. With the Amiti e I found that when I backed turned off the ECO so that I could pedal it there was a significant “drag” immediately. After doing this a few times I thought that this would a very difficult bike to ride...
