    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Idiotic, you cannot claim it is unqualified, and then ask how? after you have made your mind up already. But there are valid answers that substantiate my claim. #1 Canyon has stated such. Not that I trust their rhetoric. But it matches what ive seen #2 this was never an issue online or in...

    There is! The table was next to a road crossing. This is in the middle of nowhere. Im surprised its even there. No burger vans, but they do life flight a lot of people off the trails. Its funny out of the top ten player in strava in the endurance capitol of the world, 4 are in said pics. It...

    Nothing is "fact"" you said. It could be the same plastic, but temperature fluctuations could cause some to be brittle.

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    If you have no education, or are not a mechanic, ignorance is bliss. The mounting location is the weak link, so its generally where you will see failure first, if the plastic is "substandard". Which you cannot even spell right. If it was engineering and not the plastic Einstein, we all would...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Good question. Canyon knows this, the public "us" has not stated any of that yet. What I have seen is this issue started in Germany early spring so I have a feeling since there is such a large recall, that you will find different dates for bad batches of batteries. In china they probably got...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Waiting for A new battery is my only problem. But people here that are not qualified to make comments on a topic they do not understand, is comic relief while waiting.

    Understood. That is the vast minority of bikes out there. Very few out of the thousands sold have failures. For a weak case with bad plastic, the mounting point is the weak link. With good plastic it is not.

    Important safety note from Canyon: the Spectral:ON CF / CFR and Torque:ON CF models may have damage to the battery

    Dont wash your bike. Mine shut off for months, because i washed it after every ride. The water fks things up and it throws the motor or battery into thermal shutdown, then it has to cool before starting back up. Once i stopped washing the bike all that went away. Its common for all ebikes...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    You have to pay attention bud, this is not a mounting problem. The bad cases with bad plastic are splitting at the seams. And falling apart in all locations, not just the mounting locations. You will see that the vast majority do not have problems. And the failure points extend beyond mounting...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    No Shimano did not accept these,. Shimano had them made to Canyons specifications. Its why the shimano warranty stamp is on the battery. Sorry do not mean to be so nitpicky, but details matter. My only point was, that the only reason Canyon contacted us, was because the sold the bikes to us...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Thats the problem here too. You dont have the knowledge to offer up such a solution. Better plastic fixes the problem period. The reason most cases are still in perfect condition, is because the design is fine. The Chinese company had a bad batch of plastic that caused failure in a few units...

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Thats the problem. They do not need a redesign. They need better plastic. The Chinese pants that made these just went to cheap on their mixture.

    I just used my helmet light, and its sketchy at speed, depth perception gets thrown way off. Even had a small off because of such. Helps to know the trails inside and out. But you can still get caught off guard.

    Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

    Been riding mine almost daily. Battery is in perfect shape and case is still solid. Not waiting. I have seen threads from Germany going back to early spring with these issues. They are pretty rare. but if you do have one from a bad batch of plastic, you could have issues and id use caution...

    Important safety note from Canyon: the Spectral:ON CF / CFR and Torque:ON CF models may have damage to the battery

    What im leaning towards is that these bikes do not like water. I kept my bike and drivetrain spotless because they go through cassettes and chains and brake pads and rotors so quickly. They replaced my motor and wring harness, and now they want to do the second harness, and im waiting for that...

    Is this normal on new Spectral ON CF8?

    E bikes hate water. never pressure wash, and wash with hose is last resort. I washed ever ride and bike had tons of issues shutting down after 1000' climbs. Less to no washing has resulted in a perfect running bike. What you are showing is all waterproof. Our bikes are awesome when working...

    Pneumonia and Pulmonary Embolism

    Awesome. in 2020 I had a massive PE after minor ones for 3 weeks that gave me the same symptoms as you. They told me it was probably a tumor because they found a mass in my lungs. The PE almost killed me, and ive been fighting for 4 years to get my health back. Lucky there was no cancer just...

    Pneumonia and Pulmonary Embolism

    Sorry to hear this, only because I was a hard core athlete did I survive this, and it was very painful. He is lucky, but now that he is on the thinners, he has a great chance of not having the severe damage one goes through when the big one hits. again my condolences
