In the end they sent me a link to a longer bolt from an online hardware store. 20p bolt with £8 carriage! They cover the cost, so I ended up ordering it so that there was no future issues with warranty (ie if there was any claim about using the wrong bolt). Since then it's stayed tight. The...

Regarding the overbiking thing - it sort of depends. On most trails it doesn't matter because there's a huge motor! The issue I find is more if your trails involve crossing stiles / gates and such, where a crane might come in handy. This is definitely not just an esommet problem, but it's at the...

My VRS didn't have protective wrap. The bolt loosening issue is semi sorted - greased and tightened it up a lot and that seems okay for now. However another issue to check for-my bike seemed to be reaching 25kph quite quickly, and comparing with my garmin I was actually doing closer to 15kph...

@Cisco please can I ask where you sourced the bolt?

Good to know!

@Cisco when you say you tried 650b, do you mean on the front? Have you tried it for any longer now?

I managed to order a medium e sommet VRS today, my first ebike! How are those that have them finding them? Any other advice or issues to be aware of?

Long time mtber and thinking about an e-bike purchase next year. I'm mainly interested in something for self uplifting local dh trails, and due to being short I tend to prefer 27.5. I know nothing about emtbs but from cursory looking quite like the look of the commencal, YT and sommet. Any...
