    No more sales or repairs on Sporttechnik in the USA

    if you are legit owner and have issues they said they "maybe" could get parts etc, so at this point you are on your own, thankfully the bike is solid and doesn't require anything a regular bike shop could do it's the battery and electronics that will be a challenge to get service on

    Too bad as they are the only ebike using TQ 120S not throttled, it's a real solid bike to ride! No more USA sales or repair though

    Will a Thule EasyFold XT 2 fit a 2020/2021 Superdelite?

    have this same rack for my 38 pound carbon fiber Spitzing, would *not* recommend using only the hook without a second bungie! had an incident where a vibration caused the hook to pop off throwing the bike over! luckily the foot straps held it and since it was higher up (on a jeep) i only lost a...

    Civilized Cycles’ Model 1 e-Bike Is Unlike Any Other You’ve Seen

    i was going to mention that sounded like a chain slipping, until you mentioned it...high torque ebikes and especially under a load, will stretch the chain, it's something to be avoided. at 90 pounds, this bike is going to really stress those chains i found going to a wax based lube (starting...

    Hydraulic brakes help please

    you don't need to bleed to push them back in, park tool (and others ) make a specific tool (brake pad spreader) to force them back in, but you could use anything hard and rigid to push them back, just take care not to scratch anything looks like this...

    the updated version is just called "super moto", could not find them for sale in the US, had to import them total redesign, super slick, with a "thick padded" tread, once they are filled with air they look less bulbous, to me, they are faster and thicker than the x

    the hurricane is brilliant, a hybrid of knobbies and g-one, very fast tire with good grip and cornering

    i beg to differ, if you are looking to go faster or extend the runtime of your battery, RR is *very* important and agree that tire pressure is often overlooked as a simple way to increase/decrease RR

    New Como 5.0 Rock Shock fork not working

    curious if you checked removing a couple of spacers to see if you can gain that 10mm, all stems are cut to the bike it's going to be on, i was lucky enough to pick up a second hand bluto fat bike fork and it fit when i did this and drove fine

    New Como 5.0 Rock Shock fork not working

    unfortunately, there's a very small window of weather here that allows for pleasurable riding, waiting "eventually" for a fix is wasting that time, especially when the bike is brand new and with an obvious manufacture error, agree with you though that sugar is better than vinegar when talking to...

    Missing battery Key of M1 Splitzing.

    it's all about the cadence...you can hit 75km/45mph with a pedal speed of 140...i have had it up to 43mph but it was crazy pedaling.. you are right, stick with the m1 as the boost wheelset one of the bext features, they also upgraded the battery lock, the older bike, you could unlock it with a...
