Sounds as simple as the magnet on the spoke might have got knocked. Worth checking.

Assuming your chain line is OK and there is no underlying problems with chain line geometry, a narrow wide chain ring of the right size and compatible bolt holes would stop your chain coming off and be very hard wearing as well. I fitted a Garbaruk chain ring to my Haibike sDuro Yamaha In Feb...

I think the best way to treat these batteries if you are doing a regular commute is to charge the battery back to full before the next trip to work even if the battery can manage a couple of trips as these batteries do not like to be regularly discharged near to empty. I do a regular commute to...

Drive train wear on a crank drive used off road is one of those regular ongoing costs. I use mine to commute to work off road and then back on the road using a 9 speed Haibike Yamaha. I have gone the other way using cheap shimano rear cassettes, 12 to 36 teeth (Now 12.95 delivered from Amazon)...

Does the lake get warm enough to swim? Looks a lovely area to ride. Beautiful view by the lakeside and also from the mountain top in the picture above.

The new Bosch active line plus motor with a 500wh battery paired together on a fair few different makes of ebike seems to provide the longest range of all the crank drive motors currently available but is not the most powerful. The good news is this battery and motor can be found together at...

Not working today so what better way to relax than ride one of my favourite local circuits up and down the North Downs and including St Marthas Church and Blackheath war memorial in Surrey. No motor on this bike but I thought you would forgive me and enjoy the pictures. Bench by the Blackheath...

When I bought my first electric bike, an Oxygen Emate City from 50 cycles in Richmond I test road a few of the Panasonic Kalkhoff's as well as the Oxygen in Richmond Park and was actually not that impressed by the standard 250w ones, (felt a bit flat), but did take out a 350w Pro Connect S which...

Hi Deere John, I bought this bike in March 2015, specifically to ride to work and back using some nice off road routes, and that it what it has done. The off road routes vary from gentle tracks to some more challenging bits that I love, but all in beautiful countryside away from cars. Usually...

My going to the shops bike works well but looks old and tatty with the battery behind the seat. I use a good D lock and tend to lock my bike outside whichever shop I am visiting, returning to it as soon as I have completed my task and then onto the next shop, to cycle back home at the end. I...

Nice morning ride to work setting off at about 6:45AM. Time pressure meant cutting out one of my single track loops to save a couple of miles but there was still plenty to enjoy in my 12 mile journey. I have broken through the 11,000 mile barrier, having now ridden 11,058. The free wheel on...

Its horses for courses. Using my 2015 Yamaha Haibike to commute to work and back I really appreciate having a battery that I can take off the bike easily so that I can bring it in the house when I get home. This has in no small part contributed to me to keeping my battery in really good...

Yes I do commute off road throughout the year, but I am a shift worker which helps with daylight. So in the Winter roughly half my shifts start in the afternoon meaning a daylight off road commute to work in the late morning to middle afternoon. I also have some so called middle shifts starting...

Well done Andy and Katy.

Good to see an off road commute. Mine is 12 to 14 miles mostly off road to work and then road back in Surrey but I have to do a bit of road work to get from my house to the beginning of the off road route. My round trip is 22 to 24miles, so a fair bit less than yours. I use a Haibike sDuro...

My mate got hold of a chok block style 4 way connector off ebay like the one in the link. He is competent with electrical components but essentially this was more about his ability to solder the wires inside the battery case where they would not easily break and waterproofing with silicone...

It is now over a year since I replaced the connectors an my battery and charger and the battery has powered the bike for 2104 miles and looks very capable of powering the bike a lot further still. A few other people have now added to this quite obscure thread after falling victim to the same...

11,000 Miles, (small statistics update) I passed 11,000 miles on the 1st of May 2019 Cassette and chain have now completed 566 miles since 9th of January 2019. The Chain ring has now completed 2572 miles since February 2018. Tyres: They have now covered 5436 miles since 5th of January 2017...

"robust electronic 14-speed hub gear Rohloff E-14 with Gates belt drive, an enormous gear range of up to 520% performance and extremely low maintenance requirements" So they say, at a price of course!

I think VFR400 knows his technical stuff. Me as they say, "I know nothing". My first electric bike that I still own and use is a 2011 Oxygen Emate City that was supplied to me de-restricted. I think all this meant was that a loop of wire had been disconnected . This bike has a simple on/off...
