That's great many thanks, I'd never noticed it before

Just recently I've been getting a different level between the battery and the head unit. They both start "full" but the head unit drops "blocks" quicker. I've not run the battery flay to see which one is correct. I do have different batteries and swap them around a wee bit. Any ideas?

It does concern me and if it proves to be correct it would make me think twice about upgrading to the ep8. Vehicle manufacturers are obliged to carry on producing spares for a certain amount time after a model is discontinued. Polaris who produce motorcycles and various other leisure vehicles...

From my LBS via a Shimano rep so I appreciate not exactly official

I think its gets much more complicated with ebikes. My Merida is over 3 years years old now so well out of warranty. I paid £4300, no real upgrades just bits replaced as they are needed but all in good order so if we say its worth 30% of the purchase price thats what £1290. That seems reasonable...

I believe that deal is only for a replacement battery as opposed to buying a second battery

With lots of warranty work the parts are supplied by the bike company but the shop is expected to provide the labour at no cost. Even the jobs that are worthy of a labour charge the rate is reduced and the time allowed the barest minimum. If the shop has sold you the bike and made some profit on...

Merida E160 800- Merida Expresso 300- wanted something for the road Giant Dirtee +1- ex demo and LBS with low miles and a cheap proce Kenevo Expert- sat in the LBS window for 18 months, made a silly offer they said yes

Fantastic, great choice, enjoy and remember to post some pics when it arrives

@R120 Yes thats correct and is useful as an amputee esp on hill starts. I generally start with the prosthetic clipped in which is obviously me weaker side so a slightly earlier power pick up does make a slight difference. The Kenevo(Specialized) has loads of adjustment via the apps as well

The 29vs27.5 debate is long and has many good points on both sides. From the use you are suggesting ie bit of road work, forest tracks and not loads of really rough stuff I reckon a 29er is the better option

Giant Dirt E pro +1 its the hardtail

I'm also a below knee amp and a big fella as well so I'll add a few points from my POV I have 2 full suss, a hardtail and a hybrid all ebikes Like you I struggle to stand up and pedal and have lop sided leg power. Fullsuss/hardtail understandably you're looking at it from a non powered...

I guess we'll find out soon enough but we like a bit of idle speculation. Lets face it they could of made it a straight swap but they chose not to. They don't want us upgrading our old ebikes they want us buying brand new ones

I ride with one in a back pack quite a bit, with the straps adjusted correctly its fine. I'd say the Shimano is one of the better batteries for this as its quite compact. The extra range makes a huge difference to my riding

Its a bit mix and match I think. My wife has a Merida MTB with E6000 motor and BT-e6010 battery, I have a later Merida Hybrid with the E6000 motor but the BT-e8010 battery. motors the same but different battery mounts

Acquitted Link

I heard the report on Radio 4 and was quite impressed that they referred to his bike as a "motorised bicycle" and where very clear it wasnt a legal ebike

The take away for me is that being on a derestricted bike opened up a whole different set of charges

It does seem good value but always good to get word of mouth reviews. Its not the money but whether I need the extra limit, plus I've only just loaded the latest update so I'd need to sort that. Bike is well out of warranty but I do ride on the road between trails so there's the whole illegal...
