Carrera Vengeance e-bike battery life shock!!

Published 2023-05-03
The wife bought a Carrera e-bike with same motor and battery and has 40% more range. Even taking into account I am heavier and my bike is a mountain bike when hers is a hybrid. It is still much more than I would expect. Must be getting towards the life span of these batteries. 4000 plus miles over 13 months.

  • I agree with you about the Suspension forks...Mine are Suntour SR and I never liked how they felt from day 1.

    Vengeance has a 317Wh battery, the Crossfire has a 417Wh battery.
  • the suntour xcm forks on mine have leaking dust seals i bought the tool to service them and the head set bearings are seized to the fork so i would have to but cut off the bearings with a Dremmel. I can still swap the dust seals and service with the fork still on bike just makes it a bit messier

    Noticed in recent weeks that mines started losing significant power, after roughly 3000 miles it’s no way near as good as it was, I have a nine mile ride home from work, an tour mode most of the way, used to get home with 40-50%, now it’s all the way down to 25%, can see it going when I’m riding but replacement ones are too much money.

    I bought a second hand carrera bike from halfords. The battery was completely dead after 3 weeks. Halfords replaced it with no charge, but it was annoying. A couple of other minor problems but I'm happy with the bike now
  • I cant be bothered with ebikes , my legs are fine. I did try one but at £2500 i really couldn't see the point . But good luck with yours if you like them 👍
  • Has the other half's bike got the hub or crank drive motors, i have try to buy a 2nd battery twice now and both didn't work :(
  • Hi . I have purchased this bike last week. Can I have your opinion please? How smooth should the bike feel on echo and tour mode. I don't feel convinced that my bike is working correctly. I can't really tell any difference in power until I go into sports mode and even that feels like the bike is pulling back
