Thanks for all the tips folks. To be honest, I never ride anything more technical than a forest or farm trail; no jumps, berms, rock parks etc, I just want to be outside on my bike, enjoying the scenery. The track I fell on was one I've done numerous times, I just took it a little faster than...

I normally do but this time, of course, I didn't.

Hi all, I had a bit of a minor spill last week; slid out on a gravelly turn and did some pretty impressive tissue damage to my elbow and knee. The former required surgery under GA to remove some foreign bodies from the wound and a short stay at hospital. Anyway, the whole incident beggared the...

Hi, I'm aware of that, but the bikes all come with a 2 year warranty on motor and battery. I haven't seen great offers just yet, but will look around. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi all, I'm looking to pick up a 2nd-hand factory refurbished from www.rebike.ch and have, for the moment, narrowed it down to the following: 2023 Ghost E-Riot AM AL: https://rebike.com/ch/ghost-e-riot-am-al-essential-fully-e-bike-2023-270831?number=270831&height=190 2023 Focus Sam2 6.8...

Update: so the correct battery just arrived, part No. BBP3761, ordered from CH Bobleisure

That's interesting because I looked up BBP3761 and this came up: Bosch PowerTube 625 Wh vertical BBP3761 smart, 736.00 CHF. This does appear to have the the correct pin configuration. Yet another search results in this: PowerTube 625 Akku (BBP3761) VERTIKAL - Das smarte System, which doesn't...

OK, so I've done a bit of further investigation, the battery I ordered was the PowerTube 625 BBP291, whereas the Smart equivalent would be BBP3761. Is that right and what I should be looking out for when I order?

OK, good to know, but why? It's certainly not obvious when you go to order a new battery.

My Moustache hardtail (bought in February) comes packaged with a 500 Wh Bosch Powertube. The dealer at the time said the battery is configured with spacers, so I could easily upgrade to a 625 Wh. So this week I decided to bite the bullet and order a 625 tube, obviously taking careful note of the...

Hi all, wasn't sure whether to post this in Discussion or here, but it is a question. I'm pretty happy with my Moustache 27.5" hardtail for commuting, gentle mixed rides with the missus etc, but I miss my 29" fully squishy experience. So I'm looking to add a fully to my stable, but wanted a few...

Yes, it does and that follows with what the shop told me. I have a Bosch Smart system, so I don't think the 750 is only for that.

Hi all, my Moustache Samedi 27 OFF comes equipped with a 500 W Bosch PowerTube. What is the largest battery I could upgrade to? The shop said I could fit in the 625 W PowerTube, but can I go even larger, say to the 750 W? Or is the battery housing not compatible?

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting what you say about the Suntour suspension, both video reviews I watched were very complimentary about it. And just to clarify, I'm just looking for a little more comfort and a smoother ride over roots, ruts and rocks; I'm not into jumps or big drop-offs and...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a full EMTB to compliment my hardtail Moustache, which I use for commutes and longer tours, but feels a bit stiff on the trails. I've been looking at www.rebike.com (a German company that sells factory-refurbished Ebikes) and found this one...
