f me, over 1x month waiting for my warranty claim now. I think they hate me.

Damm I really, really miss my bike, over 3 weeks with the supplier for a motor warranty request now. Been riding my Gen3 Levo since, what an absolute brick of a bike in comparison. Makes me realise I made the right decision with the Slash+. Biggest annoyance for me is its weight around the...

Another chain noise suggestion - check my recent video https://youtube.com/shorts/RL_C3nDMeCM?si=ZmNxxp9jrQP3hV5_ Bike shop thinks it might be bearings and its in for warranty, but I assumed this was chain noise for a couple of months. Just whip the chain off and see. Bike was fairly quiet...

I wrapped mine in VHS and much later removed the rear mudguard. Use an old inner tube if you have one. Wonder why mine is taking so long.

If its the same as the carbon ones on the 9.9 there's a plastic insert. Why on earth anyone would want one installed I do not know. Just remove it.

Any idea what the warranty turnaround time is on these bike's TQ50 motors (in the UK if that makes a difference)?

Does the Gen 4 feel shorter than the Gen 3? I can only compare geo figures I guess. Odd question maybe, I replaced my Gen 3 with a Trek Slash+ about 8 months ago and ridden that since. Recently started riding the Gen 3 again (it sat rotting for 8 months) and it struck me how long and cumbersome...

Ones with side walls that aren't made from durex latex.

https://youtube.com/shorts/RL_C3nDMeCM Do your HPR50s sound like this? Starts as soon as the motor kicks in. On trail I don't think I hear this, but cycling around between trails Im sure I do and it bugs me. Sounds like a poorly lubricated drive train but its definitely coming from the motor.

Damm, this is what I wanted them to release when they released the E Druid. I'd of bought one instead of my Slash+.

I have 4 MTB's (Slash+, Gen3 levo, Enduro 180mm and Demo race) and the maintenance and upkeep is a total pain. More so now I have a child, the levo didn't get used for 4-6 months over winter and I find it takes me about 2 weeks to get it functional again having to resolve stuck brake pistons...

I assume the HPR60 is the same as the 50, but here: https://www.tq-ebike.com/fileadmin/assets/tq-ebike/downloads/manuals/Service_Manual/DRVE_Servicemanuals_EN_Rev0300_Web.pdf Page 15. edit to add, mine were not setup properly and one of them seized, they are made from cheese so are easy to...

Like this? If it is like this then the culprit is the crank skirt (Sram Cover Cap 11.6118.072.001) I ended up removing the plastic skirt on the crank arm as I could not get rid of the noise no matter what I did. I tried grease, lubricant and even wax to try prevent it, but always came back as...

for what its worth Ive had one since Aug '24 and put it on my main bike for winter - so it has had two winters of use now and it doesn't show any sign of serious wear like this. I reckon ill get another winter out of it. usually gets stored on a spare bike, so minimal use throughout summer...
