Ah, I stand corrected.Thank for putting me right. Is it easier to change the front or the rear or not much in it.

The lengths some people will go to to start another thread about falling off. You have to watch out for that thin slippery thin layer of mud over a harder sub surface, quite lethal as pretty much any angle of lean allows the wheels to wash away beneath you, and very unforgiving if you are...

With hub gears at the back the only and easiest solution is to reduce your gearing by changing the front drive cog. In relation to Tommie's comment above I thought reducing the number of teeth on the front cog/ chain ring would normally reduce your overall gearing and increasing the size of the...

I still really like my Yamaha. I love the 0 cadence assistance and the fine control and sheer power and torque at almost no cadence that is available if you need it off road where the higher cadences is really of no consequence. When I bought my bike in 2015 the Yamaha motor on paper was more...

I agree with both of you! If you have a two year guarantee on the motor it is very reassuring if you can see that the company in question will replace the motor with no quibbles if you have a problem within that time. My Yamaha motor in my crank drive sDuro developed play in what on a...

At the time I bought my Haibike sduro hard seven it was the cheapest Haibike in the range and that was the first year that they had offered the Yamaha drive. The other bike I seriously considered was the Bosch drive xduro hard tail. At that time there was quite a difference in price between the...

You have obviously thought it through carefully. The cube does sound excellent value for money combining the Bosch CX Motor and 500w battery at a very good price and it is no good thinking later on "I wish I had done that". I am also interested in what you say about cadence. Before I started...

Sounds like you have bought I nice bike, from a good local shop and have a great trip planned for it. That's the way to do it.

Sounds like you already own the right bikes. The grass is not always greener as they say. These bikes were from the days when the Kalkhoff bikes were the best ebikes available. If you can still get the bits and they are still working as they did when you bought them I would carry on with them.

If it was last used a year ago you might be lucky depending on how charged the battery was when it was left. It could well have a sleep mode to protect the battery. If I was you I would pop it on charge pronto. If the bike will switch on the head unit should be able to show you the level of...

Bike bought 20th March (Update 01/08/2017) Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha, My milage is up to 6730 with 700 odd miles on the new motor as of the 27th July 2017. My current cassette, chain ring and chain have been together for 1520 miles so far. I now do not use higher than eco...

I ride a de-restricted Hard seven and use it to commute to work and back. I ride a 16 mile mainly off road route to work and only use eco or actually turn the power assist off where the gradient allows. I am 100 kg+ and carry two full ortleib paniers on a rear rack. I like the physical work out...

I would very carefully check the rim tape as a split tube could be caused by the rim tape being slightly displaced or some slight intrusion by a sharp edge cutting the tube.

I bought slime smart tube self sealing inner tubes either from Halfords or the internet. I have a 650b crank drive Haibike and a 26inch wheel rear hub Oxygen. At first I put scwalbe smart sam plus green guard tyres on the mountain bike. The rear smart sam plus lasted 3800 miles but did...

Obviously ideally you need be able to mend a puncture and I carry a spar inner tube, stick on patches, tyre levers, and a good quality mini pump. However as I commute to work I want as few punctures as possible and ideally none at all. I have found the best puncture resistant tyre systems...

I also have a 2015 sDuro Hard seven Yamaha with 400wh battery and have a tough Hill to get back to my house and would agree with chris_n that if I hit this hill with 10% ish battery remaining the support drops away. Mostly I am riding to and from work and can charge at work and never come across...

My 2015 Haibike sDuro has 6612 miles, but the first motor was replaced under warranty free of charge at the two year point (actually just after two years) at around 6000 miles. The main bearing had developed play so that when you pushed and pulled the crank arm opposite the chain ring you could...

As I commute to work and punctures are a real inconvenience I try to avoid them as much as possible by combining the best puncture proof tire technology I can find with slime filled tubes. I have never had a puncture using specialized armadillo tyres, and likewise with schwalbe smart sam. I...

I have found the opposite to be true, a restricted machine be it a bicycle or motorbike can lead you into a dangerous situation with no option of speeding up to get out of that dangerous situation. I am no speed freak but being able to go faster when you need to is a valuable safety aid not...
