    Question on Battery Life

    I have a 2015 Haibike with a Yamaha system and 400Wh battery that I have been using to commute to work and back and have been very impressed with the continued excellent performance of the battery with very little sign of it losing capacity although it must be. Only this year has my use of the...

    First bicycle road accident tonight.

    I understand what you are saying ebiker 99, but all I can say is that my own car insurance policy was unaffected. I think if I was making a no fault claim in respect of a car accident I am sure you are right, but as bicycles do not need to be insured the personal injury claim I made did not...

    First bicycle road accident tonight.

    I am sorry to hear about your accident, and glad that you are OK. I had a similar thing happen some years ago where a car coming the opposite way turned right without noticing me and I had no where to go but the side of his shiny Audi car and then the lovely soft gravely tarmac. It was summer...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    Same result at 15mph me thinks. Actually hitting a small diameter pothole at speed is safer than at a slower speed as it gives you the chance to bridge the gap with your front wheel, however best of all is for the council to fill them in and to avoid them if you can.

    Funny Noises or not

    My Yamaha PU with large chain ring went through a phase of making a similar described noise that needed me to nip up the chain ring bolts to make it disappear .

    I want to buy my first eBike but I am overwhelmed by so many choices. I don't know where to pay attention.

    I have never owned a seago but was impressed by what another pedelec member Kangaroo said, and of course the price! https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/folding-e-bikes-in-hilly-cities-edinburgh-in-particular-re-post.27257/#post-366041

    Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 - bike outside in rain without a battery - will it cause damage?

    I went on a boys off road motorcycle weekend to the Wye valley earlier in the year and stayed in a Premier Inn and noticed three lads with expensive mountain bikes carefully wheeling them through the lobby to the lifts and onward to their rooms.

    Fat lad in need of ebike advice

    I am over the weight limits myself and carry two full ortleib panniers on a rear rack on my Haibike sDuro 2015 Yamaha, and my 12/14 mile off road route to work has some challenging proper mountain bike sections for both me and the bike. I like the simplicity of a hard tail and thought that I...

    Bosch CX Motor - Drivetrain Improvements

    I have a 2011 old Oxygen rear hub drive bike that is still going strong and a real workhorse. The drive train on this bike lasts for what seems like forever, so long in fact that I cannot remember when I last changed it, and the bike itself has proved to be extremely robust. It is a simple...

    Help! Greenedge CS2 ebike

    I know it does not get to the bottom of why your display does not show an accurate speed reading, but you could just buy a cheap wireless cycle computer and use that to show you speed and probably quite a few other parameters for under a tenner.

    Raleigh Motus vs Oxygen S-Cross MTB - which is the best?

    If you test road them both and preferred the Oxygen then why would you buy the other one. I bought a 2011 Oxygen Emate and test road it against Panasonic crank drive Kalkhoff's but preferred the feel of the Oxygen and am still happy with it and still riding it. Cadence rear hub drive bikes are...

    A bit late in the year to be beginning to use my Summer loop but for various reasons I have ridden to work and back much less at the start of this Summer. I completed three return trips over Tuesday to Friday with no trip on Thursday completing 72 miles in total. The summer route is a generally...

    Is this the right price for a used eMTB?

    Although a much cheaper and lower specification Haibike I have the same battery and probably very similar motor. I bought my bike in March 2015 and use it to commute to work and back so the mileage may be higher than some others. My battery is the original 400Wh one that came with the bike so...
