Depends which display you have. If you have the original black and white display as found on the fuel exe it still shows the range extender is being 50% despite it only being ~28% of a 580wh battery. If you have the new colour display it shows the range extender as 100%

You can pretty much do that now with the current tq batteries. You can have -0wh -160wh -360wh -580wh -740wh -900wh

The current fuel+ ex is around 19.5 kg/43lb with the hpr60 and 580wh battery, can't see a 120nm/600wh battery version being a kilo and a half lighter. It might be 20 to 20.5kg though

I think they might keep the 60nm torque, but increase the peak power to 400w, and maybe allow a higher assist percentage, maybe 300% assist.

The tq app works fine with my 2 tq bikes. It just connects to whichever one is switched on, if both are switched on it displays both in a list and asks you which one you want to connect to.

Yeah, that bike is not fit for purpose, just return to crest line and get them to send you another one or full refund. Quite why crest line have got you running around sending info to avinox is a mystery, they should just be shipping you a new bike no questions asked.

So does this issue imply that the motor has been used by the bike shop in Switzerland then returned to avinox where it was sent to crest line and then fitted to this bike? Or is the bike itself a returned bike, originally sold to the bike shop in Switzerland?

The crack sound is movement/settling in the lower shock mount. The bolt is slightly under sized for the bushing in the shock which allows a degree of movement. Trek service manual states to torque all the various suspension fasteners with the bike on the ground (not in the workstand) for...

The eapc (electric assist pedal cycle) laws say that an ebike motor must stop providing any assistance when the bike is travelling over 25kph, if it doesnt do this then it's classed as a motor cycle and needs insurance, license, regular safety checks, proper protective gear etc and can only be...

https://www.tq-group.com/en/products/tq-e-mobility/tq-hpr-120s/ Is this the new motor then? Doesn't sound brilliant at 4kg in weight....

This is why I bought the slash+ With the tq motor. If I had an avinox bike (or bosch for that matter) I'd need to de tune it down to the same power level as the tq in order to get the range I want, but the bike would still be heavier than one with the tq system. And also the fact that the tq...

Thanks, but I already I took the rear mudguard off because the chain was knocking against it. Everything else seems tight.

Thanks, but yes the derailuer looks correctly tensioned in the smallest sprocket.

OK, so how do I reduce the noise this bike makes when going over bumpy terrain? I've read various reviews that talk about chain slap, so I've removed the standard chain stay protector and replaced it with vhs slapper tape, which has fixed a lot of the noise. But I'm still getting some noise...

I can see that eventually gearbox motors might kill off regular motors + derailuer, but it'll be a few years away. The first iteration of gearbox bikes will be poor/compromised in some way or other, it won't be until the second gen that they start to refine the design. If I was in the market...
