    Complaint to the manufacturers

    I'd be afraid to put that must stress on the frame like that.

    Buying an e-bike with PayPal

    I would think Paypal would be the ultimate authority on such questions.

    Complaint to the manufacturers

    Really is a good idea. In the meantime maybe you could superglue a piece of 19mm pipe to the frame.

    Couldyou elaborate on checking to see if the chainring is centered? How do you do that?

    Steps E8000 odd sound

    My problem was what I described as a "klunking" when the motor would engage. It wasn't like what you had in the video. I do sometimes get creaking but those can be caused my a number of reasons and I just grease and tighten everything I can.

    Steps E8000 odd sound

    As a follow-up to the original post, I went to do a general tighten-up and notice I had lost two bolts which secure the motor. Replacements were supplied by Felt and I installed with blue thread-locker. Seems to be running normally, and quietly without the klunking sound, again.

    Confession : Were you an ebike hater before?

    I've been mountain biking for 30 years and still waiting to see prices come down. Prices keep going up, but everything keeps getting better, too.

    The videos you want Rob to do

    Honestly, I can't remember the list time I saw an interesting e-bike video from anyone. EMBTB is especially lame, these days with all their recycled and contrived "new" videos. Guess that GCN in general.

    Geezer? Need reading glasses?

    I wear one 'reader' contact lens. Takes some getting used to but it works for a lot of people.

    Should I top up my battery before a ride?

    I rarely charge mine fully, only if I'm looking at a very full day of riding with lots of climbing or several days of riding without the chance to charge up. I'll usually charge to 80-90%. My battery has been through 21 charge cycles and is still at 100% health (whatever that really means!)

    Charging from the Car

    Watts and Watt-Hours are not the same thing. How much power does the charger draw? I agree that it will be a big drain on the auto battery/alternator.

    If it's that severe you should see your doctor.

    Shimano E8000. Clunk of Death?

    That's what concerns me, it does seem louder and almost every time I resume peddling.

    Shimano E8000. Clunk of Death?

    It just seems to have increased in magnitude rather suddenly. Maybe I'm imagining it. At least with 19 months of warranty left I'll either get used to it or it can prove to be something serious. Thanks, all.

    Shimano E8000. Clunk of Death?

    I E8000 motor has 800 miles on it and seems to have developed a "clunking" noise. It happens when I'm coasting and not pedeling, but when I begin to pedal again the motor makes a clunk as soon as the motor engages, or maybe a fraction of a second after it engages. It's fairly loud and I can hear...
