Hi, I was having all sorts of weirdness and then finally total death. In my case it was the rechargable battery in the head unit that died. I ordered new one from EBay and had to solder it in. Taking the head unit apart was a pain as there is tough wax in the screw holes. I just kept at it with...

Haven't posted in a while, my 2 KTMs/bosch mid-drive bought used in 2015 are still going. changed things like brakes, chains etc. Still original batteries. only 2,000 miles. Had to clean the head unit contacts as there were some intermittent issues.

Hi, Just add another experience. The speedo part of the display was blank and the motor would not engage, but I could cycle through the modes. Removed the dispaly and cleaned the contacts and all is fine. 2014 Active line.

Cool, I hope to visit the Malibu store!

Hey @EddieJ I don't understand the context of the following: "* most recent example, removing rear mech hanger for me from a stock bike, just so that I could have a spare for the Swiss trip. It would have only been a one day wait for one to come in, but they wanted to make sure that I wasn't...

Intersting, but has anyone taken the motor apart? Seems to me to be easily rebuildable. I keep looking for a Youtube vid....maybe I will do it one day. Just not sure Bosch will sell me parts....

What breaks? I would assume bearings.....

Nice to see some new KTM riders! I gave up on Rocket Rons as I was getting too many flats. Using these: Continental Mountain King Wire Bead Mountain Bike Tire https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G8QEG5A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I ride slippery rough rocks and asphalt...

I have seen this once and a while. Firstly check the power button is not "wedged" or something to cause intermittent contact. Then remove head united and inspect/clean contacts. Also remove the powerpack and re-install. If that didn't work, I would open the motor cover and re-seat the...

Time for me to try again, I can become a KTM Ambassador, maybe that would help. Currently work is killing me so I haven't decided if I should become an Ambassador because of worries about not living up to the obligations.

Very cool thread, some how I missed it until now. Very inspiring!

Cool, a KTM review on EBR. Still enjoying my 2014, no problems!

Thanks for the input. Cool trip. Btw, I'm afraid you'll need to ride back to the top and retake the picture of the sign post, can't read it

I have a funny story about when to charge, I may have posted before. I can do 3 rides to work and back before needing to charge. One day on the way home, a truck went over the barriers and landed on the bike trail. Sadly the driver was killed and the trail closed. That forced all trail users to...

Thanks for the info. I take it there is one battery for both motors? How do you control the front hub? Is it independent from the rear hub? Perhaps I should read more about 2wd ... Any links?

@Cameron Newland Way cool video. I really like my bike, be cool if I could just upgrade the motor, but Bosch won't let me. @Nirmala I think the front hub is interesting, but the front tire gets very light, but maybe with good balance one could get some traction. But where to put the hub battery?

@Brambor RE: right. as long as is pedal assist it legal at the bikechallenge.org Sorry for being a little dense here...Is there some debate as to legality?

Okay, I joined. I didn't read all 53 pages. We log all rides..assist and manual right?

I'm curious now with the "state of art" of hubs. I have a Bosch Active line mid drive. It is geared with 11-40 rear cog. I can not make it up some very steep slippery gravel hill climbs. Two reasons: I get tired, or it is so steep that I hit a rock bounce the front wheel sideways and then...

Oh Hi, Costco (in Santa Cruz) had a rep from Genze selling this bike: https://electricbikereview.com/genze/recreational-e102/ for 350 of MSRP + a kryptonite u-lock. I'm guessing it is only in this Costco. He said he'd be there till August 6. I wonder if if you buy it at Costco if you get the...
