Well it is easier. A lot easier. But still not simple.
But you could always drive to the service centre by appointment and they could test and replace while you wait... if they got the service right.
I said you could send them but the law is still the law on this issue and most carriers just flat out refuse most of the time.
They have to be sent on land and through a hazardous goods carrier I think. It's a pain in the ass and not cheap from what I understand. There are also a ton of...
Well no. Just because some people buy it that doesnt means it isnt over priced.
If it sells in low volumes versus its competitor set then its over priced. I dont think £10k+ e bikes have a place in this world for very long. Especially ones that use off the shelf battery and motor set ups...
I dont know why you are all blaming YT. Its the LAW you cannot sent naked Li-on batteries in the post. They must be sent in the frame. No different with many Li-on products over certain power capacity.
There are new courier services which offer transport in special containers. But these are not...
He was probably being a bit hyperbolic to make a point [emoji38] if you get my drift.
It makes me laugh when people slate one brand over another. This guy here is moaning about bolts whilst you can spend 12 grand on a santa Cruz or a s works model which is literally no different than another...
Well you can see the inside of the Decoy frame and it shows nothing of what you say. The bolts are no different than any other type of bike ive owned.
The frames are going to be made in a factory with a load of other brands which means the claims you make dont hold much weight. Do you think YT...
I took mine out today for a 15 mile blast around the trials. This bike is very capable and i much prefer its ability to a trail focused bike. Some black section rock gardens can cause issues with my trail bike but this think just blasts through the technical stuff. 20 mph limit is perfect and...
Are these bikes guaranteed against water ingress? Most electronics are splashproof im guessing but IP67 rated? i cannot see how any of these motors would survive being submerged. especially after a good amount of use.
Or you could just not ride in the freezing cold wind rain and mud and save yourself a load of hassle and cost.
I only have to watch a Youtube video of someone 'trying' to have fun in those conditions to remember why this is a Spring, Summer, Autumn sport when its not pissing it down!
All the faults i know of required a replacement motor or wiring. A faulty battery is easy to diagnose as usually they wont charge or wont power up.
If this i such a problem then Shimano should not allow 3rd party batteries. But i think with the new 630wh we will see bespoke batteries die off...
The main cause of problems is always the motor. They arent really serviceable anyway from what I understand.
I'd talk to Madison and see if they will swap the motor.
The issue is that its clearly a shimano fault and they are refusing to sort it out by hiding behind a battery and switch.
The battery just provides voltage and the switch is off and on.
The motor is obviously where the problem is and I bet if changed the problem would be gone.
You can test...
