    Not far away in Long Melford ...about 300 ft above the sea but could be fooled into thinking the sea has got nearer.!!!! If you fancy a very muddy ride out give me a shout .....bet the old railway line is pretty sticky after all the walkers. Looks as if we might have a local group brewing...

    Focus Jam2 6.7 Nine

    Another Focus Jam fan here .Shimano powered. The light weight small battery was the deciding factor....even still its a boooogger to lift over styles and gates but at my age a clockwork bike would not be much better. No problems in 3 years and 3000miles only now is the internal battery...

    Suuuuuufuck so a bit far but will keep in mind. The chain I purchased the bike from is very generalised and does not seem to be too interested......does not have the software to test battery etc, ugh.

    Focus dealers Anybody found one that really know the bikes?

    as title says ... I would like to get my Jam2 properly checked and serviced by someone who really knows the brand . MY battery is losing capacity, Stunlocker does not read the non Shimano battery so what do we do?? LBS very helpful but dont know the brand.

    2018 jam2 plus Ltd internal battery

    Exactly the same for me . How long can I hang on until my new dream bike is available? Meantime best use to the TEC pack as reserve . Is this problem just because we have a “small” battery or do all Ebike batts deteriorate at the same rate.
