And in case you want an alternative to the ubiquitous Scwhalbe brand. I have been running a pair of Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. They have proved tough as old nails having now covered over 6,254 since 5th January 2017. Hard wearing and highly...

What a difference a day makes, sunny and warm yesterday, rainy and cold today. Glad I did another one of my sporadic Lockdown Exercise Rides Yesterday. I planned my route so I could do a small trespass to get up close and personal with a Nic Fiddian-Green Horse Head sculpture. There are a...

Hi MikeS, if you like the gearing on your bike the way it is now then check the cog numbers on your current cassette and buy a replacement that is near the same. Probably the most important number is the lowest gear for getting you up steep hills and on these cassettes their lowest gear option...

My 2015 Yamaha Haibike is a workhorse that I have only used to get me cross country to work and then 10 miles back home again on the road all year round. So the whole drive train gets dirty on the way to work where it cannot be cleaned and then ridden 10 miles home on the road. I do daub chain...

I have nothing against German engineering and it can be fabulous but I think they are very clever in the way they market their products and suggest a level of reliability and robustness that is in fact no different and sometimes not as good as others. Although pretty impartial and very good to...

Hi Bonzo Banana, My entry level 2015 Yamaha hard tail Haibike was my first experience of a crank drive ebike. I have done a long warts and all review of my ownership. Up to half the miles have been off road and my off road route to work includes, hills, sand, water, mud, roots, rocks, and...

Well after saying I would not do any more lockdown exercise rides on my Haibike, I did another two on Sunday and Tuesday before my ride to work if I do ride to work on Thursday tomorrow. Field with a view, Hascombe, Surrey Old Wall before Gates Street Farm Surrey Little used bridal path near...

I think all the big manufacturers, buy of the shelf systems like Yamaha and Bosch have customer service issues and cost issues, and systems to stop tampering that can be infuriating if you want to fix it yourself. Having said that an ebike technician told me that the Yamaha system is...

Another Lockdown Ride. The exercise ride above was done on Sunday and today I thought I would do another one. This one was 22 miles, mostly off road, and my knees and back are letting me know after being bounced around a lot, perhaps full suspension beckons. I used 41% of my battery by the time...

Be cautious, this message was sent to me after I posted how I replaced the battery and charger connections on my Yamaha battery and charger. Help! We have two Haibike Sduro Hardsevens, whilst away on holiday one stopped working with the battery flashing E and F and would not switch on...

Also nip up the bolts that attach the chain ring.

Could easily be a manipulation.

I do like your videos, they capture the fun, freedom and engagement with the landscape you can enjoy on an electric bike. I took some stills today of my own lockdown ride in the Surrey Hills. Field with a view.
