AS bikes

[Bear]

Son has a £5.5k carbon mountain bike and it had 2 new Bosch motors in within the first 2 years I think they have changed the design but apparently they didn’t like getting to wet as is kills the bearings!! Just what you want on an off road bike

It makes no sense. And surely a better thought or design with it?

Probably just used their existing motor that is ok for other products but when your in water and mud then washing down with a hose water will find it’s way in!!

GRAN CAMINO​

exactly.. case in point

in 2015 we bought our first e-bikes, Kalkhoffs ..expensive marque, made in Germany.. bought them as they had good reviews ..not cheap, about £2.5k each.

Mine was ok but Jan's was nothing but trouble, it broke down in Wales on holiday.. had to send it back to the supplier for repair ..

After that we decide to sell them.. an unreliable bike is just a liability

my cheapie Chinese made Woosh has been far more reliable

Jan has a more expensive ..Giant ladies e-bike, which has been great..it was just under £2k

Let's not forget , even high end goods are made in China . iPhone, MacBooks, Fujifim Cameras.. etc as are nearly all other consumer goods... including bicycles, and yes, most e-bikes !

I was lucky enough to get a nearly new giant e ease on eBay auction from a genuine local seller. Best £520 I’ve ever spent. That was 6 years ago & no problems. I use it almost daily home or away in the van & would be lost without it.
