I have been using a seat post clamp one on my Haibike with no issues from when I bought the bike in 2015. My bike gets used roughly 50% off road and I ride in a spirited fashion and carry two full Ortleib panniers. So my experience of a seat post clamp/rear rack mounting point has been good. The...

With new cars having can bus wiring systems, fitting an after market tow bar can be complicated and costly. When I bought my new car I had a factory fitted tow bar installed which cost a not inconsiderable £750, but as I was sure I would want a tow bar bike rack at some point and have a...

Ditto Fordulike, I have come to the conclusion that for me I either use a puncture resistant tyre with a normal tube and fix it when I get a puncture (very rare) or go completely tubeless as I have on the rear tyre of my Haibike mountain bike. I have squeezed the largest tyre I could fit on the...

Another short week of commuting..... Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the 15th, 16th and 17th of September. I chose not to ride on Tuesday as heavy rain was forecast. Wednesday was a 5:00 am alarm call and 10 mile road ride to work to start work at 06:22 am, then a return road ride home at...

Back in the fold....... After nearly two months off the £100 second hand Ebike got pulled out of the garage, first as a substitute for my Haibike after it got a puncture, to finish of a run of late shift jobs with two trips to work and back, and then in its own right after my three days off to...

I love my Haibike Yamaha and saw a new Haibike model last year that I could easily have bought, but was put of by the hand shaking technology from manufacturers like Bosch and Yamaha that prevent you easily mending their products or even being able to buy the spar parts that might allow you to...

I have two Emate City's. The one I bought new in 2011 has the 790 display, and the one I bought second hand for £100 in 2018, but of I believe a similar time period has a more modern style display.

My other Oxygen Emate has the very basic 790 unit with no screen, just buttons for on/off and the three assist levels, and another for the lights, so I am blissfully ignorant of the potentially huge mileage that bike has covered!

No manual I am afraid. Although someone sent me a link to a manual in a thread I wrote about my second hand Emate when I first got her. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/the-tale-of-a-%C2%A3100-second-hand-electric-bike.33079/#post-467114

Haibike crank drive Yamaha and £100 second hand rear hub Oxygen This should have been five days of going 14 miles to work cross country on my Yamaha Haibike, and then back 10 miles home on the road. However before my third trip to work I noticed my front tyre needed some air and pumped it...

I would be surprised if Plod do anything with this as there is no third party involved, unless you count the barrier. The only person hurt is the rider of the bike. I am not saying it would not be easy to show the bike was illegal based on the motor, but I just don't think they will bother...

Old Nag / Throttle Story I and my kids went on holiday to Devon at the beginning of August. We hired a beech hut not far from where we were staying. The parking near the beech hut was not easy. We took the old nag and locked her at the beech. I used the old nag to collect sandwiches from the...

TLC/Bodging A couple of maintenance jobs, one of which caused by a breakage after parking it at the station. Job 1. Replace the Brake Discs/Rotors The original brake discs where getting a might thin as the bike headed into its second decade. I bought a new pair including bolts of Amazon for...

I have to agree Nealh. I may have mentioned in another thread last year that Haibike were selling an entry level Yamaha model that I was very tempted by, but in the end did not buy due to the problems I have become aware of by owning my bike inherent with electrical systems that you cannot...

Just out of interest, having not done so for probably a couple of years, I used my own link above to the manual to test the absolute battery capacity of my 2015 Yamaha 400Wh battery that is 6 years and 5 months old, and found that the test still shows that the battery scores at the highest level...

I have an estate car and at home can drop the rear seats in seconds and put the whole bike in the back very easily. Used with the bike inside the car it can quite easily exceed 50 mpg driven gently. However going on holiday the car is fully loaded. On my recent 175 mile trip down to Devon...

14.000 Miles After 15 days not riding my 2015 Haibike Yamaha while on my summer staycation holiday in Devon it was back to work on Friday for a late shift duty allowing me to charge the battery and set off at 15:00 for a lovely 14 mile cross country ride to work, and 10 mile road ride home...

Hi Nealh, that is an interesting observation that I had not considered and a good one to be aware of. So I had thought charging my battery to almost full before heading off to work was actually Ok bearing in mind the battery always gets charged back to full at work including the balancing...

It had to happen. I have been riding to work under the threat of heavy downpours of rain for a week or two now. I have been lucky, and dodged them all. Four miles in to my 12 mile commute yesterday my luck ended. I could feel it was about to happen and changed out of my T shirt, shorts and...

Its a mess really. I bought a second hand Oxygen, where the previous owner. I suspect has changed the cut off, but I don't know for sure, and am unsure how. So it was a legal pedelec bike when it was sold originally in 2011. I rode it recently back from a nearby village on a gentle up hill...
