    FreeGo Eagle Upgrades

    When I was looking back at the price difference between my entry level Haibike Yamaha that I bought in 2015 and the most expensive All Mountain version I noticed that the top priced All Mountain version had a rear shock that was automatically adjusted reacting to the terrain it encountered. You...

    I bought my entry level 2015 Hard tail Haibike Yamaha when the price I had paid for my rear hub Oxygen and the price I needed to pay to aquire the Haibike had reduced to £350. I wanted a crank drive bike for its ability off road to travel cross country to work. I had started using The Oxygen on...

    Countryside riders targeted by bike thieves amid record lows in police detection rates

    I saw this in today's Torygraph online. Countryside riders targeted by bike thieves amid record lows in police detection rates Cycling UK said increasing evidence of criminals targeting cyclists travelling out of London to Kent and the Surrey Hills. Cyclists taking rides into the countryside...

    Looks great. You've got yourself a real work horse of a bike. I have a similar Oxygen Emate City that I bought in June 2011 that is still going strong. My son used it for a year to commute to his first job. My daughter is hoping to get a new job and will need to use it to get to that. It just...

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

    What needs to happen is for somebody to build and market a replacement battery with the dongle built in.

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

    Once again prompted by soundwave I have checked the number of charge cycles and current capacity of my 400Wh battery using the Yamaha workshop manual button pressing procedure on my battery . https://www.manualslib.com/manual/975488/Yamaha-X94-Series.html?page=18#manual...

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

    That is interesting soundwave. I hate to think what my own batteries capacity is now close to 3 months away from its eighth birthday. I will look up the Yamaha workshop manual I had a link to which includes a fairly crude way of checking battery capacity to see whether my battery has slipped...

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

    Pre Christmas delivery ride I had a great fitness ride in mild sunny weather to deliver a present and card to a friend, and also a bit of pre Christmas shopping. I rode from my home in Godalming in Surrey, with a large chunk of off road tracks but also some road work to Aldershot in Hampshire...

    Old Nag

    Maintenance The back light on The Old Nag, Oxygen Emate City circa 2011, started to play up sometimes on and sometimes off, but slowly more off than on. I always also have a rechargeable bright red flashing light on the seat post as well but like to have the original rear light working as...

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

    Sub Zero Ride I did a great Sub Zero ride of 22 miles yesterday setting off in -4. From my commuting to work days I keep things simple in the cold. Thicker wind proof gloves, wind proof jacket and trousers, thermal long sleeved top, cheap crew neck jumper over it if really cold, Long riding...

    Battery life

    I made one of my quite regular journeys to go shopping in near by Guildford and noted where changes in the journey effected the rate of my battery consumption. I do like to get some exercise from riding, and one of the great attributes of my Yamaha motored Haibike is that there appears to no...

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

    Icy Frosty Ride on a beautiful sunny day..... With a time agreed to meet at a friends house in a village outside Alton for a walk I decided I would ride the Haibike there using a combination of an off road riding route and a section by train. It might have been possible to ride the whole way...

    Hi, the first three paragraphs in my post #74 in page 4 of this thread talk about my silverfish batteries. The most surprising experience I had with a silverfish battery was the one that came with a second hand Oxygen Emate of probably 2011 vintage I bought for £100. I originally bought it for...

    Battery life

    I have talked about the longevity of my Yamaha battery because this is a battery thread, and I have been very impressed by the battery, however there is an Elephant in the room. When my bespoke Yamaha battery connectors failed on my Yamaha battery when the bike had just turned 3 years old after...

    Battery life

    I think I obviously do ride my bike in a different way to soundwave. However the ability of my bike to be ridden at speed may not be that different other than the capabilities of the different motors. There are clues in my posts. When I retired at 60 as a fit but overweight (100kg plus) man my...

    Battery life

    I have seen mixed reviews on after market compatible batteries with more having problems than those that don't. I like to be optimistic and have been surprised how well my original Yamaha battery has lasted with good capacity, so probably unrealistically now hope it can last 10/12 years. We...
