I hope it lasts - but my mate bought the bike from LeisureLakes, rode it twice. Never even had chance to clean it, just dry stored in his camper van, motor died with the red flashing lights and LeisureLakes confirmed motor fault, full replacement, took nearly a month
For me it seems like there's...
Mate bought a 2023 orbea rise with the EP800 motor in - died with internal sensor faults on his 3rd ride
Went back to bike shop, Shimano asked for the motor to be shipped to them, got replaced, took 2 weeks
Another guy in my riding group has had his orbea rise for 2 years and has had 3 motors...
Yeah weird I got this email in July and it seemed to be a mistake but now they’re going ahead with it.
Just as they removed private seller final value fees so looked like being a safer option than Facebook sales again finally and now it’s businesses only 🤦♂️
Yes :ROFLMAO: but as mentioned if you have the alarm fitted you have to turn it on to put it in travel mode
Which then registers a false start point
I don't know why they couldn't just leave it like it was on the non-smart bikes where you press a button to start/stop a ride
The alarm is self-powered, and when you load the bike into a car/van it goes off every 30 seconds.
To prevent that you have to enable "travel mode" which means turn the bike on, enable travel mode in app, restart the bike, turn bike off
Then when you get to where you're going if you want to...
Oh yeah I also forgot that to enable travel mode you have to turn the bike on. It automatically starts a ride in the app when it turns on (again the old bikes didn’t do that)
So then my rides in Flow are 100miles long as they start at my house before I drive to where I’m going 😂
Honestly I’ve...
I could install Eco+ and Auto and all the modes on my Cube Hybrid Stereo 140 Action Team 2023 model without visiting a dealer anyway, so assume that's for other manufacturers who locked it down maybe.
I already pay for Flow+ because I have the alarm/tracker installed. Though I don't think it's...
I haven't had a lot of time to play with this setup - since I moved house a few weeks ago and everything has been mental since
But I've got the Purion 200 and the Kiox - it all seems to work well, I can have a split screen on the Purion and nav on the Kiox... but the walk assist doesn't seem to...
Yeah that's what I plan on doing, remove everything other than 1 screen really with the essential info I want, like battery range/percent and mode - everything else I can see on the kiox
Can confirm
Went to Dalby at the weekend, asked if they had bosch diagnostics and he said he did so I took the jump
Did full red route, got back and washed the bike, then fitted the Purion 200
I reset and removed the bike from flow app first, mine has the alarm module so it said I needed to...
I've got one that I'm waiting to fit - couldn't resist as I found one in an overstock sale for less than half price
I've read that they do "work" if just plugged in but that they can throw a warning because the motor pairs with the controller, so then has 2 controller ID's
I've got the...
Haha you’re entirely right!
I read it in the first way but it makes more sense the second 😂
Of course the linked policy then doesn’t actually even mention e-bikes so not much clearer
Got this email today, I'm a registered business and sell some ebike related 3d printed stuff on ebay.
BIG change in policy there, can't sell ebikes now unless a business seller
I guess the massive rise in ebike theft's means they've decided to crack down on it. Doubt it will do much though as...
picked one up at lunch - it's certainly sturdy enough to pick the bike up by it with the battery in it, so I have no concerns about using it in a stand
fixes my biggest issue too - holding the bike up with one hand at 25kg whilst trying to clamp the seat tube lol
now I can put the grip on the...
Oh man glad I read this
I got the same park tools 10.3 last month and it's amazing, but my cube 140 action team is a bit nose heavy when clamped by the seat post - I can get it level but it doesn't like it
Plus tbh clamping on the fancy factory seat post makes me cringe
I didn't even know that...
