    Be careful to not order the normal set (you need a short one to suit the gear shift)

  • Fenders confirmed to suit and recommended

    Mine was missing some bolts and the ones supplied were pretty crap so you also need one or two packs of these:

    • legend thanks

  • The metal button

    What does it do?

    It doesn't seem to do anything on mine (2022 Silver Arrows eBike), and N Plus don't seem to know either.

  • Handlebar riser confirmed to suit and recommended

    This is a brand name one. I was reluctant to use a generic no-name one.

    Every time a car manufacturer puts out a bicycle it’s a premium price on a budget bike.

  • That's one heavy bike.

      PSA: never say this to your wife.

  • Loving my Formula E one, been daily it last few months, no issues. I added stem riser and got a more comfortable seat for it.

    I noticed a USB port under the stem. If you hold up PAS button a light on display goes on showing light is on. So might find a USB light for it.

    • Which seat did you get? I just got an add on gel cushion from Anaconda, but would definitely look at a more comfy seat.

        fat ass spec but no more butt hurt. I ride at a more upright position with the stem riser, seat seemed the best solution.

        • cheers will look at it instore, I also went with the riser as well, yet to try the handlebar grips to see if its any better but gel padded gloves have helped

        Have a look at the Selle SMP TRK. I find this style more comfortable for road riding/commuting

    Those getting a belt squeak. Put some silicone past on the sides of the belt. Its the belt side rubbing rear hub.

  • Did anyone buy a secondary charger? just wondering which one to buy on amazon

  • It's been a year on now, how is everyone going on the bike?

    • My sprag clutch failed meaning that the pedals and motor were not engaging. It’s a relatively minor thing but they didn’t want to fix it. No replacement bikes available so I was waiting for the new model. Gave up and got a refund.
