Hi Andy-Mat I copy what I said above. "My Yamaha 400Wh battery is entering its 6th year and is performing seemingly exactly as it did when new. It has covered 11,900 miles or 19,151km. I use my bike to commute to work and back. I store my battery indoors at about 65% charged and charge it...

I agree with Nealth and disagree with Andy-Mat on this as my own battery has spent its whole life being partially charged back to full and as I said is has now entered its 6th year of service working like it did when it was new after covering 11,900 miles.

I am in an edge of Town suburban area and if we walk directly from the house using I guess 1/8th to a 1/4 of a mile of pavements to access the nearest footpaths/bridal paths into the close by countryside we come across far more people on the pavements and first footpaths/bridal paths than if we...

RE Yamaha Battery pedelec member chris_n commented " Whatever you do even if someone suggests otherwise do not go trying to do capacity tests with external loads and do not go sticking multimeters into battery terminals. If you try to do a load test you will kill the battery, if you go sticking...

I took my one form of exercise today on my hard tail 2015 Yamaha Haibike on my own. Normally I only use my Haibike to commute to work and back, so riding for another purpose was a bit of a novelty. I did a 16 mile loop from my home and once on the tracks close to my house met only a very few...

It is part of the human condition to socialize in family groups and to be distrustful and often openly hostile to other groups. One of the reasons we have not discovered other intelligent life in the universe could be that any civilizations that have come in to existence have not lasted that long.

I think that is a good strategy flecc. We watched some sobering and heart braking footage from North Italy on the TV yesterday where a very modern hospital had been simply overwhelmed by the numbers of seriously ill people needing intensive treatment .

I did nearly all my shopping by electric bike until the lock down, and in my household that meant fairly frequent smaller shopping trips on my bike. Now for the first time in years I am using the car to do a bigger shop and then keeping away from the supermarkets as long as possible, aiming at...

I am in Surrey.

Made me laugh when I got home from my shift last night. Could this be a come back by smart e-Biker?

Hi all with Yamaha battery/charger connector problems. Update on how mine are doing post repair. My original 400Wh Yamaha battery is still performing well as it enters its sixth year of service. It has now powered the bike for 2,942 miles and almost two years since I was forced to replace the...

Well I have just done five days at work, and if I have managed not to catch this dratted virus I am now not back at work until the 16th of April. I say five days work but for the first two of them I was on call at home and did not get called in. I was of course poised and ready like a coiled...

There are clues here as to why the gentleman now has one usable leg!

Like Nealth I am a key worker and obliged to continue doing what is considered an essential job. On the plus side as I commute to work on one of two electric bikes my bike riding is now officially sanctioned by the government. On the negative side, at work doing my essential task I am at a...

Looks brilliant and I love your throttle adaption.

Not much more stealth than a rusty old Raleigh averaging 18 and a half miles an hour over an 11 mile circuit. Got to put a smile on your face.

But don't you get all that love and satisfaction by just looking at that lovely duck? Money would just sully the deal man.

This made me laugh.
