    Breaking my Vitus eSommet for parts

    You could put it that way. I live in Scotland and cycle all season and all-weather. If an ebike is incapable of functioning as a result of water spray from the front wheel then yes they are not for me.

    Breaking my Vitus eSommet for parts

    Absolutely, they should be made to be repairable. It's BS that a small electronic sensor failing renders the motor inoperable.

I've ridden it for 15 months and on a good day I could get between 40-50 miles with about 3-4000 vertical ft accent. But I can do the same or more on my...

    Bash guard prototype for e Sommet

    I hadn't seen that, but after reading the review I will probably still make my own. " The only reason I bought this replacement guard was to protect the steps shimano e800o motor, I had no other option. I smashed the first one on the first rock garden I hit, crap plastic, you'd be better off...
