Thanks Mike, now ordered

Thanks guys, I had noticed this one. It's good to hear that it's performing so well. I'll take another look at it ?

Thanks Mikerb, do you have a good source for moto foam please? In conjunction with a rear mudguard, could a piece of rubber, or plastic be fixed to one of the inserts to cover the gap between them? This seems a simple fix and I've also seen a moulded piece of carbon fibre used to cover this and...

I've seen a piece of plastic glued onto the bottom of fenders to increase the length, this could work well for you. The V3 mudguard looks very good, although I do query the tight fit, but it's a heck of a price. That said, cheap compared to the bike, especially if it works! The mudhugger also...

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of help please. I've recently (for the first time) bought a new Levo and I'm worried about the area of the swing arm, where the two bits of rubber/plastic meet – please see the photo. I do intend to fashion a mudguard to protect this area, as others have done, but I...

Looking at reviews, it doesn't look like the new Vitus 297 range isn't as good as the earlier versions. I haven't found out much about the new Shimano EP8 drive units yet, or the 630 E8036 battery, but it's very disappointing that Vitus has made it very difficult to remove the battery for...

Both our bikes went back to Wiggle just over 3 weeks ago. This morning I got the following reply from CRC, even though I bought from sister company Wiggle. "Hi Paul, We have completed extensive assessment of your bikes and are unable to get the battery issues resolved. I appreciated this isn't...

Around £700 seems to be the best price I've seen in the UK.

Update - I wrote another email to Wiggle, Shimano (via my LBS) and Vitus last week, just as our first bike was coming to the end of the warranty. It was quite a long and involved history of our falling range issues and coincided with our worst performance to date - 34 miles from a full charge...

Hi F-a-t-B, thanks for this info. Have you had chance to test this anymore and if so, have you been able to draw any conclusions? I'm keen to know whether you think that it's down to battery degradation, due to use and age, or it's a motor issue. Also, I see on another thread that you've fitted...

Thanks very much for this Dean. The range issues do seem to coincide with the firmwear upgrades we've had, but I can't believe that Shimano would actually knobble their own product. May be there is something else that we don't know about? I'll have a chat with my LBS and take a look at your...

That certainly does look muddy! I was thinking today about these new batteries. At around £700, they're not cheap, in fact I could get a small, cheap car for the same money! Presumably, they come with the same 2 year Shimano warranty, but is this valid IF you don't use the new, specified mount...

Mud, mud, glorious mud! Thanks for the photos, we're also Vitus, so will follow your thread there.

That looks really good and fits the bike well. Thanks for the price details, hope that it works as well as we all expect.

When our bikes go out of guarantee, over the next couple of months, I'm going to open up my old battery and get the cells tested to see if I can work out why my range, on flat country lanes and easy trails, has dropped from 60 miles per charge, down to 38. I'm keen to see what you think of the...
