there is always so much confusion about dialectric grease! Firstly any silicon grease will achieve the same results ( since the main component of dialectric grease is silicon!) unless there are other issues to be dealt with other than moisture ( e.g. heat). To be clear the last place you would...

.....which suggests to me the firmware has detected and defeated the derestrictor by limited the watts it is prepared to deliver. You will only know if the motor is defective or you derestrictor is to blame if you repeat the test with the derestrictor removed.

thanks for the info. I can see no rationale for regulating motor support in line with bike speed though! Bike speed and desired amount of motor support are completely unrelated in mtb riding!

Are you sure these noises are caused by freehub engagement? An alternative cause could be the kinematics of the rear end and could be completely or partially improved with rear shock settings...or replacement rear shock. As mentioned a bove the majority of motors determine the "feel" of...

Another few things you could check. Firstly, does the chain suck occur in any particular gear/position on the cassette? If it only occurs when on the smaller ( higher) gears it suggests the chain is too long, the derailleur clutch too weak, the jockey wheels partially seized, or the B gap is...

I think the biggest advance would be motor servicing. Everything on the bike is serviceable/replaceable except the frame battery and motor. A decent frame warranty should take care of the frame, the battery is replaceable at stupid cost so may be something could be done with regard to...

thats sounds like a pad/rotor mismatch!! I would reckon most get through a set of pads in 400/500 miles..........and most mtbers would be using sintered rather than resin pads. If your pad to rotor friction is a ctually wearing the rotor rather than the pad, your braking must be pretty...

.....well some good news for you..........placing your foot more central on the pedal rather than using the balls of your feet is far better for an MTB/EMTB. Better grip, better control and better enables flexible movement on the bike. Balls of the feet pedalling is more applicable to roadies.

obvioisly different regulations than in the UK then. The vast majority of trails whether farm tracks bridleways ,trial centres, bike parks, Forestry Commission/Forestry England managed forests prohibit any motorised vehicle.....EPACs being the exception since they are legally classed as a...

Rules on maximum assisted speed will only ever be changed if there is a politically acceptable zero risk reason to do so. I can think of only 3 reasons that could potentially meet those criteria. 1. To encourage further growth of EPACS to reduce car use. 2. To make mixed transport scenarios...

Multi fuel stove...and I burn anthracite...much greater heat output than coal or logs. As for my bikes they live indoors...but that does mean spending time freezing cold in the garage after a cold ride getting it clean enough to wheel indoors. It goes on a large threshold ( coir) mat so do not...

I never ride Bike Parks and rarely trail centres so most of my riding is in local forests and the trails are made by a combination of animals and ad hoc trail builders.....then modified or destroyed by Forestry England etc...then re built:D. So any trail could be green at the top, blue in the...

can you not simply turn up pedal assist and acceleration in Mission Control? I know in the past firmware updates tended to put all those setting back to factory settings which for acceleration was zero and most found they had to turn acceleration up to c 50%

I fitted Hope 155 cranks on my Whyte E180RS. Yes, the most immediate difference is increased ground clearance so less need to half pedal when you might otherwise get a pedal strike. I did notice another difference ( positive) however. It may differ from bike to bike depending on the seat post...

assuming the new cable required is the speed sensor cable that is something the shop is likely to have in stock and is not expensive..............certainly no reason not to try the bike without the derestrictor which could be now doing all sorts of weird things with the amount of sensor...

It should be easy to check if the battery has any vertical movement once the clamp is closed on the latch. If there is no vertical movement the physical weight of the battery even including dynamic vertical forces when riding is ( in my opinion) unlikely to damage the latch. What will weaken the...

Every manufacturer is committed to doing whatever it can to prevent derestrcition for the simple reason that if they fail to take sufficient measures they expose themselves to action from the regulators ( most especially in the EU) for undermining the EPAC regulations. There was most probably...

It is a fairly naive proposal in my opinion. It suggests Ebike motor suppliers can claim full compliance with EPAC regulations by including a blutooth connections that would enable "enforcement agencies" to check if a motor has been derestricted. So just who are those enforcement agencies? The...

The problem with understanding power modes is that they are usually explained merely as "x%" times rider input. Our bikes however have both torque and cadence sensors so the motor support is in fact delivered in accordance with how those 2 variables are configured in the motor firmware...

I can compare Brose with Bosch CX Performance/Bosch Smart and Bosch CX Performance gen2 ( Purion). Firstly Brose is the quietist albeit it makes a bit more noise in turbo. I do not find the Bosch CX motor noise intrusive but some bikes also experience motor rattle with the Bosch..........its...
