    Don't Buy Kalkhoff no after sales

    To be fair to the dealer where I bought my Haibike Yamaha, they have, within the limits of what their suppliers allow them to do, offered me very good service, After all they replaced my motor right on the point of the two year warranty expiring free of charge. I recently had an off, and broke...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    Grand Day Out My son and I enjoyed a lovely leisure ride together yesterday on Sunday, with a great Pub as our target with Sunday Lunch booked for us. I was on my 2015 Haibike Yamaha and my son was on my old Oxygen Emate City (The Old Nag) of 2011 vintage, but reinvigorated by a new battery...

    Country Lanes are 3x More Dangerous (Sunday Times)

    Close to home this, as I live in Surrey. To be honest I thought quite a few 60 limit roads around me had been reduced. The B road I used to commute to work on had been reduced from 60mph to 40mph.

    New ‘death by dangerous cycling’ law could punish killer riders (Saturday Telegraph)

    In a post Covid era of Big Government, with politicians interfering more and more in an individuals life, jumping on whatever populist bandwagon is rolling by at the time to reassure themselves of their own egos in the hope of securing an extra vote or two, and more damagingly having the...

    New ‘death by dangerous cycling’ law could punish killer riders (Saturday Telegraph)

    Overlapped with Guerney although a different paper. The last paragraph says it all, "Only a handful of cases in recent years have involved bicycles, with more than 99 per cent of pedestrian deaths involving a motor vehicle in the last decade."

    Wispa, Grrrr......

    You can be unlucky with batteries and a good company like Wisper will I am sure replace it. If this is your first electric bike and you bought it around October last year there are some newbie mistakes that can effect lithium batteries. You should not just throw the bike in a shed or garage...

    Pride and joy, looking very good, brand new battery, probably better than new motor, effectively a brand new bike.

    Battery

    I have found Yose batteries to be very good taking into account the price they charge. I have also found that if you keep an eye on their ebay shop they do at times reduce their prices. I bought a (36V15Ah Silver Fish Battery Electric Bike Battery for 500W Kit E-bike Battery) in March this...

    Wisper Wayfarer

    Your mathematically amended average of 26.66 mph for 10 miles is indeed fast. I only ever used eco on the flatter slightly down slightly up sections of my 10 mile road route home and wind resistance, eco and my own effort limited my top speed to no more than 24 mph, but nearly all the time...

    Wisper Wayfarer

    Hi Jazzmann007, my own mathematical ability is far from good, but I think that completing 10 miles in 45 minutes equates to an average speed of 13.33 miles an hour. I used a 2015 crankdrive Haibike Yamaha to commute to work and back, cross country to work with no need for speed, but lots of...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    Heatwave 2 Today was supposed to be one of the heatwave peak days. I set off for another nearby town, with the first eight miles of the journey off road, but the last 3 miles on the road and mostly in direct sunshine on tarmac after my off road tracks ran out. Cutmill Pond I set off around...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    It's Hot, Damn Hot They say that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, but that is what I ended up doing today. I needed to make a Lidl run, and rode a round trip journey of 18 miles. About a quarter on a canal tow path and the rest on the road. So coming back the bike was...

    Refurb/rebuild

    I recently bought a Yose no name cell silverfish battery that is working very well. I bought the bigger 36v15ah one for £165.62 delivered in March 2022 including charger. I previously bought a similar Yose silverfish battery that is over four yeras old and still working well. The price was...

    Newspaper story (Telegraph) about Ebike battery fires / New Transport Bill

    That was the paragraph that worried me too flecc. Being optimistic, it might mean all those who would like a slightly higher assist speed limit, maybe 20mph, might get it, but I would be worried that it might come at a high price with an introduction of some sort of registration system which I...

    Haibike Fullseven 4

    Some systems (The much maligned Bosch for example) have a power cut out system that cuts the power when you change gear. I think this can be added to the generic Chinese crank drive systems. I have never ridden a bike with this system, and now backing off my pedaling intensity as I change gear...

    Haibike Fullseven 4

    Like Zlatan I have a Haibike Hard Seven Yamaha, mine of 2015 vintage. Although I have had a couple of more serious issues, one with a motor replaced under warranty, and another with my battery and charger when the connections broke and needed renewing, that I had to do myself as there was no...

    36V MBP/MPS battery - Planned Obsolescence with blowable software fuse

    Not good at all. What bikes do these batteries power? You would want to avoid any manufacturer using this technology.
