    Looking to buy for my wife...

    Been very happy with my Felt that I bought about six weeks ago. All Shimano and other name-brand components so should be able to get it serviced anywhere. Some brands (Specialized/Trek among them) are notorious for their proprietary components. Incidentally, I purchased through Amazon and was...

    E biking has opened up a lot of new territory for trail building

    imba.com might be a good place to start.

    ST Ride App - Tracker/dash/logger for STEPS motors

    Might be nice to turn off heart rate charts in settings for those who don't use a HRM. Also, be nice to have a 'Delete All' function under Statistics, or be able to select multiple to delete, or maybe have a "Keep last n" setting.

    Charging times; a table

    I really don't think going by the number of bars is giving enough precision as 4 bars could be anything between 60% and 80%. Invest a couple of dollars in ST Unlocker and you can see exactly what the battery charge state and health are, as well as the number of cycles on the battery! This info...

    Charging times; a table

    Then I guess a rule of thumb would be 2 minutes for each 1% of battery increase, below 80%. YMMV

    Charging times; a table

    I have the 8000 motor and 7000 display. I also have internal battery, under the down tube. I have to reach under to power on, and the charge port is also underneath, right next to the LEDs. I'm looking on the battery itself, not the display.

    ST Ride App - Tracker/dash/logger for STEPS motors

    I also had problems after the update, but deleting and re-installing fixed it.

    Charging times; a table

    Your power bars don't light up on the battery when it's charging? Mine do. I figure when the last light starts flashing then the charge is about 80%, so can unplug then if that's when you want to stop.

    Consumer Rights - Where do I stand in getting a refund on my Decoy?

    I’m sure you are not happy about the thought of paying to ship it back to Germany, but that may be what it takes. Buying something that isn’t supported locally is a risk.

    Should I top up my battery before a ride?

    I agree with your math, but I believe that I charged my 504w battery from 0-100% in around 4 hours, so I don't think the 22%/hour figure could be accurate. I have not collected a lot of date on this (though I would like to see a lot of date on this) and sometimes have a fuzzy memory.

    £7k E-MTB delivered with cosmetic damage

    it sucks to get a new bike with damage, but when you decided to go ride it then you basically decided to accept the bike as is. Maybe Orbea will give you something but the bike is yours. Ride it and love it.

    Go pro question

    I have an extension that mounts to the GoPro chest mount, but most of the top YouTube videos are used by mounting the GoPro to a separate gimbal.

    Should I top up my battery before a ride?

    Can you set it turn off after a certain number of watts pass through it? Kind of like a smart Kill-A-Watt?

    Shimano eTube Project failures

    Yeah, these things happen. I brought my new bike home on Saturday and attempted a firmware update myself and bricked to the computer. Had to wait until Monday morning to get it reset and ride the bike.
