- problems with throttle, solved (HPC ebike)
- loose wires in battery harness, solved (HPC ebike)
- blown FET in controller, solved (Is the original controller or the Infinieon, i didn't know)
- problems with Magura e-brake switch, 2 times, found source of problem (HPC ebike)
- battling to bleed my brakes properly, that one was tough, finally solved by buying bleeding kit (HPC ebike, didn't bleed them correctly or verififed them before shipping)
- noisy brakes, long struggle, solved (HPC ebike once again, no check and nor verifications before shipping)
- lost 30% studs on first ride with winter tire, solved
For me it's allot of trouble for an expensive "turn key" solution even for a noob or an experiment user and it's really worse after only "6" month of using it, no matter what you think about it ... good day!

I REALLY did not want to continue this thread but you oblige me because you quote me and add inaccurate comments of yours above. Here are the facts:
- broke presta valve, solved (HPC ebike) NOT REALLY it was the first time i inflated a tire with presta valve and used a hand pump. I would have broken any other presta valve for the first time.
- 4 or 5 flats, now ok with Schwalbe Marathon (HPC ebike original tyres, before replacement) TRUE, but if you check my other posts, you see that I lost 30% of studs on my Marathon winter. Do you want to bash Schwalbe also while we're at it ?
- crystalyte hub wire damages, 4 or 5 times, solved with DrBass torque arms and mods (HPC ebike with not torque arms) FALSE bike came with torque arms. It would have been ok if i did not change my controller (infineon from ebikes.ca) and added regen. Regen is tougher on torque arms.
- blown halls, repaired (Motor HPC ebike ) Common, how many people have blown halls ? they only bought their hub from HPC ?
- struggling to make my new infineon controller work, solved (ebikes new controller from ebike.ca)
- problems with throttle, solved (HPC ebike), FALSE, other throttle
- loose wires in battery harness, solved (HPC ebike) CORRECT
- blown FET in controller, solved (Is the original controller or the Infinieon, i didn't know) FALSE, it was infineon
- problems with Magura e-brake switch, 2 times, found source of problem (HPC ebike) FALSE, bought them from a german reseller
- battling to bleed my brakes properly, that one was tough, finally solved by buying bleeding kit (HPC ebike, didn't bleed them correctly or verififed them before shipping) FALSE, brakes were ok from day one, i had to bleed them after i installed my brake switch
- noisy brakes, long struggle, solved (HPC ebike once again, no check and nor verifications before shipping) only HPC produces noisy brakes, fine.
- lost 30% studs on first ride with winter tire, solved FALSE, not sold by HPC
You also said i never received support from HPC, that's not correct. They did guide me and sent me back a replacement battery pack. For the rest, i preferred to ask on the forum with pictures and everything, i learn a lot this way and i thank all those who help here.
WHen someone reads this thread, they can see that people who bought from HPC are satisfied, those who did not, claim their product/service is not good. As for their power claims, maybe they push their figures a bit, but the power and range of my bike is beyond my expectations, and that's worth the money i spent.
