Yeah it's the spare wheel set for my other bike. Just thought I'd try it on familiar tyres first thing

Yeah it's much better

Bike is here and together, I'm away for the weekend so first ride will have to wait ,☹️

I was told my deposit was the 8th in the first batch and my order is due 10th June . I've checked today and they've said they're confident in that date and nothing should delay it. Size 8 S170E.2 build kit like the above.

They told me that the bike sent for EMC testing had been held up in customs on its way to the test facility in Spain. We have to do EMC testing (electro magnetic compatibility) at work and I assume they'll need that test certificate before they can sell it with a CE mark. Not something Id...

Mine was due today/tomorrow. As I'd not had the UPS notification I sent them a message and they've told me it's been knocked back to the 10th June. I was really looking forward to it and it's starting to take the shine off it a bit now.

There's a Facebook post below saying they are going to maintain warranty support and spares supply. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16wW6Zx4Xd/

Yeah that's what I was wondering , if the spares dry up where does that leave you. In the UK you'd have a contract with the shop who would be responsible to get you a replacement, that's the situation I found myself in. The shop and saddleback (the uk importer) said I could have pretty much...

I don't think I've had such bad customer service. Waiting weeks for a motor that didn't fix it. Then the same for the battery, harness, etc Followed by a complete replacement which failed after a couple of months, same drawn out diagnostic process again followed by replacement which failed...

I wouldn't expect it to, if it does I'll have two

I'd really like the long ZEB guard but can't see it instock anywhere, I've gone for the short for now.

It felt like mine was in the shop more than out of it. The final straw was when Fazua said the frame design meant the bend radius was too tight. The shop and importer gave me a refund

Sad news but probably not unexpected, My Fazua‑powered Shuttle SL was amazing to ride, but it broke so often it drove me mad. https://road.cc/ebiketips/news/porsche-shuts-down-e-bike-motor-brand-fazua

I've had a phone call today saying my bikes been delayed by a week, it sounds like the motors have just been released from Customs. They confirmed that the cable routing has been re-done so there is one gromet one each side of the head tube that can both accept two cables making the routing...

I think the EU and UK position is slightly more complex than people think. The law/regulations haven't been set by the push bike industry or Bosch. They have been set by the Motorbike industry, i.e. what makes something a moped. This situation is about as old as motorbikes themselves as far...
