    3D printing

    A friend made me a cover for the battery connections for when the bike is on a bike rack and the battery is in the car. Maybe you could offer that for different bikes if they need it.

    Overcharging?

    I probably do it all wrong, but I ride, get back, put it on charge, leave it. Next ride, take it off charge and off O go. Alan

    TREDZ or DREDZ as they should be known

    I had no issues with a tyre gauge I bought from them. Dispatched the next day.

    Will EMtb cause the eventual demise of the Uplift ?

    OK - for those of us who don't live in the colonies, what is an uplift?

    Tyre pressures

    Thanks Steve. Very good info. I weigh 11 stone (70 Kg). I won' use your voucher but I have ordered the gauge (£23.99).

    Tyre pressures

    The wheel on my bike (Rockrider EST-520) says the tyre pressure should be 1.6 bars - just under 23 psi. Now, when I do that, it feels to soft. So, I have it about 2 bars (28 psi) and it feels OK. But is that too much for my tyres/wheels? Alan

    EST-520 display manual

    I found the official document quite sparse and hard to read, so I've created my own and included all the error codes I could find. Feel free to download and share it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dpuxvjc63eiberl/Controlling%20the%20EST-520%20V2.2.pdf?dl=1 Any questions, just ask. Alan

    Is the difference between an EST-520 and an EST-900 worth £300

    Larger battery - probably not. I've never yet run out of battery before I've run out of puff. Gears - the ratios are the same (11-42) just spread over 10 gears, not 9. Suspension - possibly. The 520's isn't the best in the world. But is the 900's that much better? For now, I've adjusted mine a...

    Is the difference between an EST-520 and an EST-900 worth £300

    And just as I post, the 900's go out of stock in my size.

    Is the difference between an EST-520 and an EST-900 worth £300

    I have an EST-520 which is, to be honest, ones size too big. I'm looking at getting an upgrade (downgrade?) to a Small from a Medium. The EST-520's are out of stock, but I can get an EST-900 - which is £300 more. But is it worth it for different suspension, an extra gear, a larger battery and...

    Est900 pear rack help!

    How much weight do you want? I've got one I got from Amazon and it seems to be OK on my EST-520. Amazon bike rack.

    Leisure Battery and Invertor ?

    If cost isn't an option, buy spare batteries.

    eMtb weight and lower back ?

    I also have a weak lower back. Riding is no issue, but putting the bike on and off the bike rack has caused me grief about 3 times now. Once I was laid up in bed for a week - other times, not as bad, but not good. And yes, I remove the battery first. Now, I get my wife to assist.

    I bought a new scale today

    Weigh yourself. Then pick the bike up and weigh you and the bike. Subtract one from the other and you have the bike weight.

    Decathlon resillience

    We have 2 x EST-520's. So far, my display has frozen once (a switch off and on cured it) and I've had one puncture. Norma's bike has a creak from the motor. That's about it in 1 year of ownership and 500 miles each of riding.

    Too hot!

    About 27c here in the N of England today. But I had a lovely ride along the canal path.

    Tow bar bike racks, what are people using?

    The trick is to get the pedals correct (the inner one has the pedal nearest the car near the top) and to put the bikes on opposite way around. I also remove the batteries from the bike which makes them lighter and allows the centre mount to go through the inner bike and reach the outer one.
