Hi all, time to report back. I have completed my four days of work, riding every day and completing another 92 miles with 52 of those off road. There has been quite a bit of rain leading to challenging conditions off road and I have adapted my route to miss a particularly churned up single track...

I have to agree. It really is very good.

Eddie I bought a KTM Ultra 1964 650B Ltd Edition hard tail on a ride to work scheme. It seemed the best £950 worth I could find at the time. I was a little sceptical about the special edition bit but I have to say I have been very impressed by it. A really good hard tail. All the better as the...

Nice pictures Eddie. I have just returned from a non powered accent of St Martha's Hill via a route I call the unclimbable hill because it defeats me quite often, but not today hurray, and I should try to take a few pictures as it was beautiful at the top today. You will be pleased to hear...

Yes Emo I think you are right about keeping chain and sprockets clean and suitably lubricated. I have actually been quite (by my standards) diligent with the sduro. As part of cleaning the bike I do use a degreaser and chain cleaning device before lubricating the chain. I use the bike just as a...

The lightweight alloy might explain why I could file it so easily but would account for susceptibility to wear although the sandy conditions in Surrey and a high proportion of off road miles has taught me that I can wear out sprockets and chains on any of my mountain bikes pretty fast.

I had no issues until the wetter weather arrived. In Surrey we have a lot of sand that after rain can mix in with the dirt to form a substance a bit like grinding paste! I have an old rim braked Marin (Bobcat trail) mountain bike that still sits in a dusty corner of my garage and never suffered...

To be honest I am not sure what material it is. It is the one that was fitted to the new bike, and I have not changed it yet! I looked on the spar parts section of the shop I bought it from but the material the replacement it is made from is not stated.

I ride a Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha and have covered 1600 miles since March 2015. I commute about 23 miles return trip to work with 13 or so of them off road. I have had remarkably few issues with my bike however with the advent of wetter weather I have suddenly become afflicted by...

Bike bought 20th March 2015 Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha, 7 Month Review, Commuter Special I have now covered around 1600 miles on my sDuro HardSeven. Part of my route to work What I wanted to achieve When I bought the bike I wanted primarily a bike to ride to work on as often...

Hi Gdread, I still enjoy a petrol powered off road experience! I have not managed to persuade any of my motorcycle mates to give e-mountain biking a try yet but I will keep plugging away. I would say the purpose built mountain bike offerings from the likes of KTM Bosch crank & Panasonic hub...

You are probably right soundwave . I'll ride a few miles and see if it holds up and report back.

Really sorry to hear about you getting your bike nicked. I use a Kryptonite D lock but may not feel as confident leaving my own sDuro Yamaha after hearing about what happened to you.

I ride a Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha that I bought in March this year. Using eco on my 12/13 mile mostly off road ride to work I have about 62% battery left when I arrive at work. Blasting the 10 miles home on my hilly B Road at 20+ miles an hour in standard I have about 52% battery...

I got my first ebike back in June 2011, an Oxygen emate city commuter bike, but used that on a mainly off road route to work for which it had not really been designed for but coped so much better than I expected and the ability of that bike to find traction and pull through slippery muddy...

Nice clip, nice countryside, and nothing like a bit of extra pedal power on a long slippery power sapping hill!

Hi I am new to the site and ride a Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 YamahaI. I have owned the bike since March and have so far ridden 1600 miles on a mainly off road route of between 12 and 14 miles to work and then a hilly 10 mile B Road return route. I fitted some Schwalbe Smart Sam plus...

Hi everyone, I am new to the site and nearly bought the Oxygen Mountain Bike after owning an emate city and being very happy with it. I bought the Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 YamahaI instead which is working well for my 13 mile mostly off road commute to work with a 10 mile hilly B Road...
