It was a Hilux, whistlin diesel took over the challenge.

Of course it was, Rás steered me down the wrong path!

The Landcruisers are just as tough

Anybody know much about these Polini E-P3+ motors by any chance?

I wouldn't take any risk related to an unknown e-bike system. There were many e-bike motor brands who didn't stand the trial of time. For instance: who will provide the repair in case all goes wrong?
Recently, Yako reviewed Orbea Denna (Shimano) and Canyon Grizzle: OnFLy (Bosch). He said Denna was the right e-bike if you were a road cyclist with some desire to ride gravel.

Remember this was over 8.5 years so I think you are doing pretty well!

I honestly think the motor is toast, I've never heard noises like it before! That Land Cruiser was insane, they tried everything to stop it working but failed!

I'm thinking about treating myself and forking out on a new bike, this one caught my eye but I'm unsure about the motor although looking at the reviews online they seem pretty robust...I have used Dolan Bikes in the past and they have a great rep! Anybody know much about these Polini E-P3+ motors by any chance?

The Dolan looks quite nice! Have not seen one before.
I'd love to see Giant hear your story and step up to help in some way.
In looking at the Giant GB site there's slim pickins for a mid drive right now...
