Certainly looks like a warranty issue, that crack’s not right!
Just an update for keeping the mud off main parts. I have been fiddling about with odds and sods I had laying around and comparing them. I have attached lots of photos of the best mods for mudguards I have come up with and it shows the extent to which it saves the bike and motor. The photos are from a 25 miler in the dampYep this is what I meant that cover clip is a real bugger for getting grit in , I’ve taken mine to bits and greased it a number of times . Few not pretty solutions on here to stop it getting mudded up
You still running tubes @Timmoh ?Just an update for keeping the mud off main parts. I have been fiddling about with odds and sods I had laying around and comparing them.

surfaces and all at between 0 and 20 mph.
I have used a pair of mucky nutz front fenders for rear linkage/motor protection (I don't care about my arse and back!). I didn't like the way others sometimes run ed paintwork and jammed up.
I have the crud catcher XL as stated previously, but the biggest surprise is the adapted £3 Halfords mudguard I have used to protect the lower portion of the batt cover and the front of the motor/bash guard (which used to fill up with crap after being in the direct firing line from the front wheel)
I used inner tube to protect the paintwork and reusable zip ties for removal.
I think all the add ons still don't make the bike ugly as with some mudguards and also the knowledge that the battery and connections are safe and dry is very reassuring. Btw, the guard does not make the motor overheat as its not close fitting to the vents and is only used in lower temps anyway.

Nah, that's an old one I have kept for things like chainstay protection and stuff like that. I carry a tube under the seat though just in case.You still running tubes @Timmoh ?
Thanks for the detailed response always nice to see someone elses stats to compare and check you are somewhere near where you should be.(i have replied within the quote box somehow !)Hey Roger,
I brought one on here 2 days ago .
So o they do come up on here. There is one selling on Amazon for a really good price. I was looking at one on Amazon Wednesday for £560 which was a great price but can't find it now so must have been sold although there is one for £667 still on there.
Seen them on amazon ebay etc but didnt think to look on here.
Yes you need the Horizontal version, the product code needs to end in "543" for it to be the Horizontal one . They are really easy to tell apart when you know what your looking for, you want the one pictured on the left:

To fit to the Stilus, you take the old battery out and then one of the brackets that holds the battery can be loosened and turned around the other way so it allows the extra room required to fit the 625W battery.
I've not fitted it yet, but its an easy job apparently, and then you should get around 25% more capacity.
As i thought but wanted to double check thanks.
20-22 miles does seem fairly short Roger but I guess it depends on:-
- Your fitness Low
- Your weight 115kg
- The mode you ride in mixed as low as i can get away with
- The amount you climb lots living near the coast in Devon
- On road vs offroad 90%+ offroad on most rides
- Headwind not really a factor where i ride
- Temperature Low tend to ride mainly evenings so last few rides all below 5c
- Your tyres ewild 2.8's
- Your tyre pressures now 35 was very bad at 18 !!
I feel my range is about right from what i am asking of it normally 3000 ft of climbing in 20 miles and the ground tends to be very soft and power sapping.
I weigh 75kg and am very cycle fit and I get double what your getting Roger. When I ran my tyre pressures really low, I was getting 30-35 miles but normally I get around 40-45 miles, mainly in Tour or eMTB.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Phil
These will have an effect on your range. Are you slogging along in a high gear and low cadence using the motor as support? Spinning in a lower gear is more battery efficient.Your fitness Low
- Your weight 115kg
Mostly in the right gear spinning quite well.These will have an effect on your range. Are you slogging along in a high gear and low cadence using the motor as support? Spinning in a lower gear is more battery efficient.
Are you on a 500 or 625 battery?
I'd be happy with those numbers at this time of year to be honest.

There is. 100% confirmed.Man i hope theres a 2021 version of this coming
There is. 100% confirmed.
Lucky to have an "original" and it never fails to make me smile every mile.There is. 100% confirmed.
Yup, thumbs up (if I could) for that. Broken hand/thumb-she's a cruel mistress ?.Good point, my one has 'bucked' me off a couple of times also. Maybe the Stilus needs to be tamed ?
OMG - is the bike ok?Yup, thumbs up (if I could) for that. Broken hand/thumb-she's a cruel mistress ?.

Thank God, yes it is ?. That was my first check while my missus looked on in disbelief. I only realised my thumb had gone when I changed gear and it bent in a strange shape ?. I have now rotated the shifter to a vertical position so I can still ride by changing gear with my wrist.OMG - is the bike ok?
I pasted this in the wrong thread, yep I’m a muppet! Admin please feel free to remove from the warranty thread.
Having a bit of time on my hands I decided to have a look at what the next iteration of the magnificent Stylus might be.
We know that they are made by Lombardo and with a bit of tinterwebery I have come up with the following info. I used a conversion of £1:33 to the euro but who knows where we will be in a few weeks time and I have also used a average retail price. As we all know there can be a larger variance in just how much profit a shop wants / needs to make.
All the bikes run a Bosch Gen 4 in a frame that looks the same as the current model but some of the listed weights do vary. All bar the Sport use a 625 battery which weigh heavier that the current 500 so there has been some weight saving somewhere as they are still alloy construction. Here are just the headlines:

Assuming they are sticking to a 3 grand price ?so is it could be like this ? Or are these old models ...
