he has solution for the flowing

flow is good, embrace the flow

Get you ex back 🤣

I’ve sent you all my bank details as requested, how long is delivery?

I wouldn't trust SBC Cycles with any non "out of the box" e-assist built.

They had my Douze with MPF Drive for 3 weeks and could not get the front light to work.
They manage to mangle the cabling for the lights so now these won't work again.
At this point, I am just glad they didn't fuck up the e-assist.

They tick all the hipster boxes for looks & music taste + they do "rad wheelies" outside the shop but they do not know what they are doing when it comes to anything with a e-assist - unless of course it is a simple plug & play type of build.

And if you need a VAT invoice, be prepared to ask weekly for about 4 months.

not London but Velo Domestique in Bournemouth have stock of the latest eBullitts arriving in the next week or so, a combination of Covid and good ole Brexit has held everything up for everyone so they've been sat in customs since mid December.
We can deliver to London as well.

SBC and Seabass are great guys though so probably use them.

will keep in mind thanks

was looking at the site yesterday as it happens. will drop them an email as Brighton is an easy journey too. cheers

London green cycles advised the EP8 might be most suitable due to sort of weight I might carry and distance to cover. on the larryvsharry site it looks like they aren't due in until June which is a bummer. Is it with the wait?! its 2021 and folks don't like waiting for things anymore!

I think the 6100 is probably enough but I like the loss of weight and the ability to walk with the bike in assist mode of the EP8.

Ep8 delayed due to mftr issues (same for everyone! Everyone wants that motor and shimano can't make them fast enough).
Ep8 and e6100 weight very close, few hundred grams is all I think. The old e6000 was about 1.5kg heavier (4.5kg vs 2.8kg). Considering a normal ht2 bb and an xt chainset is going to weigh around 1.4kg, the 2.8 is pretty good going!
e6100 has walk assist im pretty sure,useful for moving the bike on steep ground when loaded.

Had a little test ride on a Bullitt today. Oh my... what fun. Even if it was just the manual version!

For the additional approx €500 euro you get an additional 40% torque. That’s pretty good isn’t it?

yep, get it, I am kinda in a queue for Ep8 bullitt too

I'm not aware of a walk assist with e6100.

edit: well, I checked on the manual. looks like it does have assist. so useful!!

can't remember if I posted this. made a canopy for the bike for the kids. it's detachable for when not in use and lifts up for putting the kids in and out. they love it!

I want snow ffs!

I mean, there was some white stuff in Berlin.
but if there was no virus I could go visit relatives that have hills and real snow.

made a canopy for the bike for the kids

..so cool!

Did you consider adding LED christmas lights around the frame?

you did and I hate you for having those skills

Does the canopy interfere with your steering? I had to raise the handlerbars with the standard bullitt canopy but I see yours is below...

they do not know what they are doing when it comes to anything with a e-assist

There's a fair amount of evidence to the contrary that I'm aware of.

My feedback is based on personal experience.
I've mentioned it to them at the time and have not left any reviews on Google or similar.

I am sure they can read the manual and put a round peg in a round hole for a brand new £5k e-bike but then again so can bike techs at Evans.

I am not trying to get into a keyboard battle - simply sharing personal feedback.

There's a fair amount of evidence to the contrary that I'm aware of.

I think maybe it depends whos in? Ive been there a fair bit for things and occasional advice, i think many of the people in there are very clued up. However they also royally screwed me over recently with a really rookie error, that im fairly sure cant have been one of the experienced guy's doing, because it was so basic.

I dont mean to shit on them as i still actually rate them and the shop highly, and everyone makes mistakes.

needed something that i could easily break down to get into the bike room of our flat so settled on picking up an Argo Cargo. Anyone tried one?

No but keen to hear how you get on with it!

Ok will update. Only downside is see is the load is capped at 70kg but looking for this just as a kid/dog hauler. Our dogs are small and we are a 1 child family
