Higher speeds???With the extra weight (and higher speeds), I'd also be inclined pay some a little more attention to brake wear then I might for a non-eBike.

Generally I would say yesHigher speeds???
i go slower on my ebike to stay within the cut-off and make sure im getting full use of the motor ( unless going downhill of course)Generally I would say yes
but only on the basis that if I was on a normal bike I would go slower than I would on my ebike
especially if I am going to the shops on a cold day and just put the thing into a higher assist level
clearly an old fat bloke on a UK legal ebike doesn;t go as fats as a lycra clad racing snake on a 'proper' road bike
as far as brakes are concerned - I don;t think the extra weight is a major issue
Yup - it weighs a lot more that Simon Yate's favourite bike for going up Alp D'Huez - but my own weight more than compensates for that
so as long as the brakes are reasonable they should be OK
I thought it was proving expensive to keep throwing away the battery and buying a new one.I believe that you may need to periodically charge the battery.
I thought a little spanner came up in the bottom corner when it was ready to be serviced???

No - totally wrongI believe that you may need to periodically charge the battery.
new motors and computers???.....ive just seen Purion computers with a spanner on the display and i have the purion displays on both mineNot as far as I know, and I've been using Bosch bikes for 10 years or so.
Never submerged it, so not really sureHow do eMTB's handle almost total submersion ? My pedal MTB required a strip down of the hubs and BB to double check everything after it was properly drowned on an MTB ride. I assume if you do this, you'll need to pop the covers off the motor and dry it out ?
Probably not a good idea to try!!!Never submerged it, so not really sure
Yeh i got the active plus bosch motor, its pretty well sealed up. But no i wont be submerging it anytime soon, if at all…..lolNot wise to submerge. Most motors are not IP67 or IP68
