Mate on his Focus Thron ( hasn't got the port for a range extender ) Gen4 motor is looking for a range extender which he can fit. His is the standard 625W battery but on some of our longer rides we are getting a bit of battery worries.
Has anyone got one working, any company make them, any...
Yet another TQ engine based frame and at 15.9kgs at the cost of XC components and reduced travel for lightness. With the deluge of manufacturers heading in this direction are we genuinely seeing a new breed of XC bikes...
Is the light weight Emtb market very ripe for the right product. Take myself for example, I have an Analogue bike and a Dengfu E10. The Analogue doesn't really get ridden much now as I'm getting to the age where fitness and body recovery is taking to long between rides to fully recover. And I...
My friend has an almost brand new Focus with a Gen4 motor in it. As you go through the 25kph, the motor almost feels as though it is restricting rather than disengaging. Also we ran the battery out and once it cuts out, the motor is engaged to the point that you cannot pedal it.
Is this normal...
Over the years I've bought a bit of gear off Bikester due to the keen prices. With the Covid and Brexit logistic issues, they sort of fell off my radar a bit due to the long delays in getting them over from Germany. However by almost accident (and they were the cheapest by far being 25% cheaper...
Hi anyone know where I can get a Fazua battery charger connector, even someone with an old dead charger perhaps. Fazua in their infinite wisdom have a dedicated charger at a dedicated Fazua price, where as I have a much better controlled charger ( I can set charge levels Etc ) but no connector...
A friend has just bought his first EBike and looking to insure it. He’s getting quotes over 300 notes with stipulations of stupid size locks and chains whilst away from home ( who carries those in their backpack ). Any recommendations.
Interesting to see Bafangs latest newsletter with the headlines of their wins in Gerona on the American Eagle. Looking at the size of their jockey, one really has to say at 92kgs in my birthday suite, I'm never going to win any Ebike races. However with the latest updates to the M500 which is...
Looking to setup a regular Tuesday or / Wednesday or / Thursday evening ride in the Marlow Henley areas. I know a lot of trails around the area and can lead or follow and learn new routes.
Who is interested ?
Moved from a line of Marzocchi Bomber front shocks on various bikes I've used for the last 25 years to a Manitou fork ( suppossidly made by the same company now ) for cost reasons and up to this point I have been really dissapointed with the suppleness of Manitou fork over the very small high...
Bought a Garmin Edge Explore, its good and its got a flaw. Out on one of our trails last night and using a track we already had set up in an area where to get the best out of the area, you need to cross and reuse parts of the trail. Imagine a clover leaf type trail, but crossing over at points...
I've been using Memory Map for a long time but it has a basic flaw. You can't orientate the map in the direction you are heading. It only maps North South as far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong. Now I have a small Tomtom watch as my main nav following a bread crumb trail prepared on Memory...
Has anyone bought a Lapierre EZesty and how are you getting on with the Fazua setup.
I've been looking at going down that route but my local Trek dealer who I know well, is refusing any orders on the E Calibre which use the Fazua, as the general feedback is the motor has its problems. Sadly we...
Guys and Gals, with all the foot traffic on the local trails over the winter, the trails are like roads at the moment, smooth, hard and really really fast. If ever you want to set a few PB's now's the time to do it.
Yes is the answer, but with caveats here. The manufacturers use proprietory Can Bus signals and the likes to manage and interpret the battery to protect it from too much load and the total number of charges etc. But if you research and look around the internet its surprising how much info you...
