I've had two of them love them , first one got stolen bought a bikes4you fold up e bike and the frame snapped, bought another carrera crosscity and back to riding a robust fold up, and like the poster, I road a BMX in the 80s and the carrera crosscity feels like riding a robust sturdy BMX with a motor
i have been a cyclist for over 30 years both leisure and competing in time trials (not anymore) i brought one of these as my car broke down and had to be scrapped. I have to commute to work by train and bike.. was sceptical the first time i turned the pedals and "flew" up the hill never looked back.. only downside the rear spokes keeps popping.
Thanks Mike, one of the things I like best about ebikes is getting to where I'm going without needing a shower due to perspiration. Great form of transport 👍
That's really quite helpful to see thank you. I wasn't sure if it wod be any good on steep hills but it seems it would be! Can you cover charging in some way? I look forward to seeing more 👍👍
Hey. Just a bit of advice . Just how easy is it to pedal with max assist . I have a disability so haven't been able to push a normal bike in years . I dont have a lot of leg strength But could do with a way of getting around. Ive a opportunity to get one of these used for a really good price. Only thing is i dont know how many times the battery has been cycled . Or for slightly more a new flido ebike which is tiny but has full throttle assist where id have the option to not pedal at all . Its only one gear though and tiny wheels so 8d prefer the carerra trying to determine if its something i could manage
In any of the pedal assist levels on this you can if you need to simply turn the pedals and not push at all. Obviously that will use more battery power though. The battery is a good Samsung one and mine works great, I think the key things are how many charge cycles it's had and that it's been kept in a warm (household temps) environment as the cold can destroy a lithium battery it seems. To replace the battery for an original new one is about £400 just to be aware!
Thanks Mike I bought second hand too, can you please advise what bike frame bag you have from Amazon so I can get one as like you save bars is very wide?
@djkendo24 mine also does it if I have it on its highest setting, so I don't now. Also I try to check the handlebars are completely straight as it helps with that wobble a bit.👍

Looks good, thanks for sharing.

I agree, I am really enjoying it and have lots of plans for exploring on small adventure trip, which I will probably film 😄
That’s great news, thanks for the demo 👍

Thanks, more to come on this great little bike👍
and the other minor problem is the torque already mentioned

Brilliant bicycle, hope you let us know how far it can go at a later stage.
Good idea, I will be doing that yes. I also have some longer trips on it planned and will film those too . cheers 👍
Thanks for sharing! Do you remember the brands for the bag/phone holder or what amazon store you got them from? I'm thinking of getting this bike soon
Let me check, I'll make some links 👍
Sorry for the delay, I now have links in the video description for both the bags. Cheers

Great to hear, I hope you love it. I have put a link for both bags in the video description for you. 😁👍
I've had mine a month brand new and the handlebar stem rocks back and fourth slightly, anybody know what's happening to it?

Just got 1 that's what I want to do change seat
