Well I am sitting at home on my first day off, of three. I did take my car to work yesterday as it gave me more time at home with my children. So I rode to four of my five shifts in the end and rode 94 miles. 54 off road, and 40 on the road. The mileage on the bike is now 12,886, getting very...

Proper Winter Conditions Although I worked three days between Christmas and New Year, I had 18 days off over the holiday period and yesterday was the first chance to ride cross country to work. Having said that I got all dressed up for the weather and at the start of the first track, took...

To be fair to him, the bikes he is hoping this will stand comparison with on performance are at the top end of the carbon framed full suspension world, and compared to those very expensive bikes this bike is good value. Soundwave took another route to get good value by buying a top end e...

I no longer keep my Yamaha Haibike battery in the airing cupboard,but I do keep it in the house! The two silverfish batteries on my brace of Oxygen Emates stay on the bikes in my unheated brick garage attached to the house where they are also charged. I think battery fires are very rare, but...

When I bought my RD400F back in the late 70's the reviewers said that if the front did not come up when you hit the power band in second gear there was something wrong with it. Great fun.

I have just worked three early shifts after 12 days off. Two return trips on the £100 ebike and 40 miles ridden. I took the car to the middle one of my three shifts as it was a very early start time. With low temperatures and knowing that I do not have a lot of range in hand, I was a little...

Sounds like you will need to heat the area you are charging your bike, if only for the time it is charging. Maybe a simple timer plug. I would heat the bike in its coal hole for an hour before you start charging and time the heater to stop after the charge has been completed. The gocycle folds...

Looks great D C. Down here in southern England snow is a rare beast. Just wet, icy and cold.

I really like the design of the Gocycle. They do cost a lot, but from all accounts perform very well and need little maintenance. It would be interesting if you keep us updated on your ownership experience.

A good but not necessarily expensive geared rear hub cadence sensor bike with a good quality large battery would be my choice, with the top assist speed re set to 20 mph, a much safer speed to commute on faster roads mixed in with cars, but still a fast bicycle speed and not so fast as to stand...

Well Dom T you are edging ahead in mileage at the moment as I am off work and do not return until the 28th, to early shifts, where I ride on the road too and fro on my old second hand rear hub bike, so no miles on The Haibike. I am sure I will do a reasonable or should that be unreasonable...

I was actually tempted to buy this years version of my bike which had a package of features that really appealed to me. But my size has sold out now and I think I dithered because it would have been a bit boring to essentially buy the same bike I already have. Anyway, I have't finished...

Just finished 5 days of late shifts. I rode my crank drive Haibike to three of them completing 72 miles on it. It performed very well, and the off road route is spectacular, if tough! On one day I took the car due to the deluges of rain we are getting at the moment. And last night I took the...

Three 24 mile return trips to work and back on The Haibike, so 72 miles in total, and approaching 36 miles off road. The conditions off road were energy sapping, with a lot of standing water, generally soft ground, wet leaves and mud to contend with. I have a section that with my old back...

Indeed some nice views. I am at work as I write but enjoyed a very nice ride to work on The Haibike, with similarly nice views . The Haibike is behaving itself at the moment, and my 2.35 mud tyre worked a treat in the slop.

Well today is the end of my 20 day cycle of early shifts and I rode to them all except one which I took the car due to the forecast of very heavy rain. So the final total was 220 miles over the 20 day period. The £100 ebike is a truly excellent commuter bike. I have two days off before a...

Its counter intuitive, but less/very careful washing of the motor when washing the bike, making sure to keep water away from bearings is I am sure the right approach. I was lucky to have my first Yamaha motor replaced under warranty when it developed play in the bearing, right on the 2 year...

Well I wimped out and took the car today. The forecast was terrible and my start time was very early and I was cumulatively tired after 3 very early starts. I love my job but shift work can take its toil. I would have been riding home in torrential rain, so I think I made the right decision...

The thing that worries me from what you say is that the battery is supposed to be new, when it aught to be delivering its best performance. I would consider trying to get it replaced from where you bought it. The last silver fish battery I bought was quite cheap off ebay (under £200 including...

I am up to 10,800 km on my 2015 Yamaha motor. So far so good, but I wonder if Performance line bearings have any data on how far they go before they need looking at?
