When I start work at Guildford instead of Farnham as I sometimes do I get to enjoy the towpath of the River Wey from Godalming and use my trusty 2011 Oxygen emate city rear hub bike. Towpath at Guildord end of River Wey Same view without bike View over River Wey and water meadows towards...

Noises on bikes are nearly always irritating and quite often hard to pin down. Good that you have got yours sorted.

My own slight issue is that you cannot review a bike in any meaningful way after 10 miles use. However that is easily solved if you keep posting as your total milage increases. Everyone after buying a bike will hope that it will turn out to be fantastic. I really like the look of the Delite...

Back to work today with a start time that allowed a lovely 14 mile off road ride to work. View from close to High Mill House towards the North Downs Way near Farnham. Then a 10 mile road ride home with some threatening dark clouds that thankfully did not produce any rain. Sadly start times...

Also check bolts on chainring are nipped up properly. My own motor was replaced under warranty at the two year point, but I had traveled 6000 miles. Mine was the main bearing and I could see play by applying pressure to the non chainring side crank arm and see corresponding movement in the...

To be honest Nealth there are surprisingly no handling or grip issues with the tyres worn as they are. I do actually more off road riding than on as my off road ride to work is around 12 to 18 miles and my road ride home 10 miles. I am inclined to buy a new tyre, wear the current rear one out...

The sidewalls look really good and so much tougher than the previous schwalbe tyres although it may be that schwalbe recognized the weakness in the smart sam plus design and may have re designed and strengthened it as the sidewalls now look similar to the marathon design that recieves very good...

Blimey Nev, I was only considering changing the rear tyre. I thought the front has years left in it!!!

I commute to work and back on a 2015 hardtail Yamaha powered sDuro Haibike. After a couple of rear wheel side wall failures using schwalbe smart sam plus tyres I changed to Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. I ride about 3000 miles a year with...

You might be right GLJoe. I was reacting to the companies rather pompous language. If it only happens only very occasionally and changing the fuse is easy and you carry the original battery with you so you can swap over if need be then carry on. Though usually fuses blow for a reason and it...

Hi doomo, I find their response a little disingenuous, you might want to point out that you only bought their battery to have an increased range and are still using the original battery that continues to work perfectly with no sign of a blown fuse or any other issue, rather pointing the finger...

Well today concludes my four days at work, all journeys to work on off road routes of various lengths followed by a 10 mile road trip home. I used two full batteries and 45%of a third battery to complete the 94 miles I traveled, giving a theoretical range of 38 miles per battery for my 400Wh...

I think if you work normal-ish hours when the station is busy and there are platform staff around it will be much safer than later into the evening or overnight. I have always believed that stations are sadly a high risk area for bike theft.

I have noticed this Haibike left locked at a local station quite regularly for around seven months now. It hasn't gone missing so far!

Last week due to start times I did 5 return trips to work and 120 miles, but just on the road using my old rear hub Oxygen that was my first electric bike bought back in 2011. Today with an afternoon start time I was able to use a much more pleasant off road route to work on the Haibike.

So you have warned him that the bright light beaming through the wood at night is not an alien from encounters of a third kind but little old you on your electric steed. Peace man. or at least we hope so.

When I looked at the new Motus Tour on the ebike shop Farnham web site the hub geared version had 7 gears not 8. The hub version does look an appealing low maintenance every day bike prospect. By all accounts the new least powerful bosch active line motor is the quietest and much quieter than...

Sorry to hear that doomo, I was hoping this battery would be a viable option when my original Yamaha one finally gives up the ghost. The good news for me on my 10 to no more then 18 mile commute, 28 maximum round trip with the chance to recharge at work is that the battery is now in its fourth...

Done another 100 miles since connector fix. This time late shifts allowing me to enjoy some proper off road fun on the way to work. This is the environment where a crank drive comes into its own and my reason for buying the bike, to open up the more demanding routes available to me and get me...

Did'nt they use to make very fast mopeds?
