Anyone else have this issue? The cable to the display/motor that runs through the headstock keeps fouling in the slotted ring inside causing the motor to switch off. This is the fourth time I've had issues with it, I managed to bodge the first time to keep it running, the second time the cable...

Hi mate, I'm in Freshwater and find myself up in Brighstone quite a bit, as you say the runs are getting slippery now and the fallen leaves making the trails hard to see, I still enjoy pootling around there though, met a couple of lads from Newport on brand new emtb's just last week and showed...

So I started having a fiddle this afternoon, and squirted a bunch more contact cleaner into the switch and it suddenly came alive only to crap out again, squirted more contact cleaner and it fired up again, then got stuck in boost so I switched off, more contact cleaner and after a bit it worked...

On my last ride out my mode selector switch stopped working, I was in Eco and couldn't switch up to Trail or Boost, so just rode home on Eco. This had happened once before, but a battery removal, rest and reinstall had fixed the problem. This time not so, having taken the battery off, rested it...

I'm doing at a guess 70% Eco, 25% Trail and 5% Boost, or something close, I literally just use boost for a squirt up the very steepest sections. I'm on the Isle of Wight, England btw doing downland and forest trails.

Thanks, I had seen that that group, but didn't know whether they welcomed E-MTBs or not. Cheers ;)

Hi Tony, I'm a few months down the line from you and have just entered the world of E-MTB too, learning a lot at the moment! I'm in the West Wight on a Vitus E-Sommet ;). I've been wondering if there are any groups out there for E-MTBs on the Island? Cheers Nigel

Hi there, just recently bought myself a Vitus E-Sommet e-mtb and have started exploring some local trails and tracks. I used to do motocross/enduro back in the 70's/80's/90's but gave up competitive motorcycling in the early 90's, enjoyed some casual mountain biking in the early 2000's but not...
