Hi All, I broke the mount on my purion and fixed it by drilling a small tie ana zip tie. I thought I'd share.... Use a your own risk....

I sympathise with the OP. IMHO trek should just give him a new frame - how many people will read this and not buy a trek? It's terrible public relations. I have two trek powerflys which have been great bikes so far. The only problems have been ones created by me. I have had numerous problems...

Can't beat a bit of diy, love it. I think the concept is great but he veloboy is over engineered and over priced. Maybe there's an opportunity here for someone.

All good information and you raise some valid points.... In the end it is very much and each their own situation. I would say i have tried using putting the bike on its side method and everytime i put the bike in i hit the car, mud does escape and the bike can move while driving which might make...

Still loving my veloboy, such a good idea in my humble opinion. I reckon i could comfortably get 2 ebikes in a vw golf. Here it is with one trek powerfly 2018

Thanks for that, the brakes just seem to be sucking in air. They work fine when new but as they get older and after several bleeds they seem to get spongy faster. I replace them when i loose confidence. I don't want a days riding ruined through brake failure. I do get brake fade and the disks...

Hi Guys, I have a trek powerfly lt 2018 and with around 3500 km's on it. I seem to be replacing my brakes (calipers and levers) about once a year. My rear brake has just started playing up and not bleeding properly. I suspect they are getting hot when I got downhill riding which i do for maybe...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to share a positive experience i have had with my veloboy internal bike rack, i paid full price and have no financial interest in the company. I did a bit of research and did a rough pros and cons list below. I've used it a few times and works well. You can buy them from...

Hi JetSetDemo, Thank you very much for taking the time to post such a thorough response and apologies for my delayed reply. I have been trying to find out how to achieve this using dhl but have not succeeded. For me it would be worth setting up an account and I would really appreciate you...

I wondered if anyone might have any more information on this. I'd like to send my ebike battery around Europe. Ideally I would like to turn up to a local international shipper (e.g. dhl, ups) in any country with a correctly packaged battery and paperwork and pay. I just re read this thread and...

I have a powerfly lt8 2018 (3000+ km on the clock all off road) and hired 2 rails for a day from the lbs. Nice bikes but wont be upgrading as not much difference. Battery is bigger but heavier - stands to reason as no significant advances in battery energy density in the last few years. Most of...

Jetskis have an air filter, exhaust, throttles, water intake, petrol tanks with breathers and and a water jet. Aside from the switches and screen an ebike motor (in my opinion the most important bit) could be completely sealed apart from where the left and right cranks exit the motor...

I didn't mention anything about ip ratings. I suggested the manufacturers might throw their new models into a swimming pool to help them identify if they were waterproof. They seem to be having difficulties with this area. I think it would be easy (everything is relative) for them to make their...

Why don't they just chuck new models in a swimming pool to test. Applies to all manufacturers, as far as I know none of them are waterproof . Can't be that hard can it. No reason an emtb can't be 100% waterproof.

+1 for an old phone. I use a galaxy s7 and various apps and a quad lock. Google maps seems to meet most of my requirements.
