My Yamaha 400Wh battery is four years old and has covered 10724 miles since i bought my Haibike in 2015. I use the bike to commute too and from work and charge it to full as close to departure time as possible and then charge it back to full at work before riding home and then bring the battery...

Whatever you buy you should try to use a dealer who impresses you with their customer service and is within hitting distance of home and are happy to offer a decent test ride on the bikes you have short listed and a few you have not. I have been commuting to work and back on an electric bike...

Deeply unfashionable but I am with you Leighping and carry rolled up wellies in my panniers to keep my feet dry when the heavens open. I also keep an eye on the online weather forecast and take the car to work on the actually very few days that it is likely to really cane it down, although I...

Just an update to this thread. When my battery/charger connector broke I thought it very possible that it could happen to someone else. I was contacted by another pedelec member with the same issue copied below. Battery Connector Failure I bought a Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2017 Yamaha 4...

Calling my untidy overstuffed garage a workshop would many steps too far. One day I will tidy it. Great ride to work today in the sunshine. Field of dreams The last post Britty woods Crooksbury common. 68 miles over the last three days journeys to work with one more potential return trip...

Took a few pictures on the way in to work today and I hope you can see why I enjoy it so much. 10.702 miles now completed since I started riding this bike to work in March 2015. 68 miles in the last three days. Still the first 400Wh battery. Used 32% of the battery on the 12 mile cross country...

I am using cheap shimano steel cassettes combined with kmc chains and a quaility narrow wide front chain ring paired to give me the best compromise gearing on my single chain ring set up for my off road route to work and on road commute home on my 9 speed Haibike hard tail set up. My cassettes...

I ride my 2015 Yamaha PW motor hard tail Haibike with the motor off a far bit and do not notice any drag from the motor, just the weight of the bike as I am heavy and carry two loaded panniers. Once moving on the level ground I do not notice any drag maintain speed easily. Once an uphill...

I have with some reservations to agree with Ballynoes. I have been using a Haibike sDuro Yamaha hard tail to commute to work on since 2015 with 10634 miles under its wheels. The first motor was replaced under warranty after 6000 miles after play had developed and a worn bearing. The motor...

Motorcyclists can buy a devise called a Scottoiler that delivered oil to a motorcycle chain while the bike was being ridden and was said to extend the life of a chain considerably.

Done 10634 miles on my Haibike sDuro Yamaha March 2015 bike that I paid £1750 for and use over 50% proper off road. 9 speed transmission cheap to replace cassettes on. Absolute beast climbing hills. Still using the original 400Wh battery working well...

Quote " with bells they seem to cause pedestrians to jump out of the way and mutter comments about "B" cyclist thinking they own the place. " I have to say that my traditional "tring,tring" bell gets a very positive reaction from pedestrians that I approach from behind. As I also walk quite a...

I bought one of these on former member D8daves recommendation but have not used the bike I put it on much but although quite small it works really well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html...

Just managed a record average speed of 19.6 miles an hour for my 10 mile hilly B road return from work. Quite remarkable. It was up to 20.3 to within a quarter mile from home but unfortunately that last bit includes a steep hill. Carrying a 100kg plus of little old me and two panniers.

Reading this thread makes me glad I have a hard tail.

There is a long tradition in motorcycles of putting an engine from one manufacturer in the frame of another, famously Triumph engines in a Norton feather bed frame. Lovely. Though I believe a fair bit of engineering skill was involved.

In your initial comment you said going "ding" did not work. I found the same with the newer style one ding bells but found a remarkable difference when I changed to a traditional "tring tring" bell that works very well. I think pedestrians do not automatically associate the modern one ding at...
