Sometimes i think modern mountain bikes - including eMTBs - just aren't normal consumer products. They're almost impossible to maintain and solve annoying problems like creaks, rattles and play, unless you're very happy with a set of hex keys and know your grease from anti-seize. Also, you...
Hi eMTBers,
After a failed motor bearing on my Bosch CX (after ~1200 miles) Im being ultra careful about flushing out the grease down there. I never did jet wash, but I did use a hose and a lot of Muc Off regularly.
To avoid that happening again, I figure I should instead remove the...
Hi Cube owners,

Perception is probably the most useful indicator we have. Bike noise as a whole (from motor, chainset, cables clanking around) will all...
Noise? No. Anecdotal only. Majority of 3rd party reviews Ive read/watched comment on volume of Bosch vs Spesch and Shimano. And my own experience with Bosch.

Hello!
Where do I ride, I hear you ask? Well, I have a video for that. Do you love POV e-MTB videos? Of course you do!

Oh, and expect posts complaining about my noisy Bosch motor...
No sign of a new motor on the recently announced 2019 Cubes, Scotts etc. So I assume they'll get incorporated in 'late' 2019 bikes.
Bosch are certainly over-due an update since Shimano and Brose leap-frogged them on size and noise levels. I suspect Brose and Shimano will continue with small...
Just yesterday added cover for 2 ebikes and 3 analogue bikes to Aviva house insurance. £21 per year! You don't have to insure each bike separately, they just want to know the price of the most expensive bike.
