Necessity is the mother of invention. I guess if Raleigh are not going to fix it I am going to have to do it myself! A mate and I took the plug at the charger end apart to find four colour coded wires. We soldered four appropriately coloured wires onto the wire pegs at the battery shrink...

My charger still works, and my battery is still good. It is the broken pin at the battery connection that has me stumped at the moment. The point I am making is that however careful you might be the weakness of this connection can fail and Raleigh and Yamaha do not offer a repair option. My...

Thanks for your kind offer lzzekerslike, If I have no luck repairing it, an Allbatteries battery and your charger may be the best way forward.

Houston, we have a problem Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha Background to the problem The plug that locks the charger lead into the Yamaha battery has always to me looked a little fragile. I am lucky to be able to leave my bike in a room at work where I can also plug in my charger...

Houston, we have a problem Background to the problem The plug that locks the charger lead into the Yamaha battery has always to me looked a little fragile. I am lucky to be able to leave my bike in a room at work where I can also plug in my charger. Some time ago when I returned to the room...

Nasty, I assume it was not been put there recently, but just your unlucky moment to get snared in it.

Looks fantastic Trevormonty, great pictures.

I was going to say, for mountain biking and hill climbing get a crank drive bike. If you did need a stronger rear wheel then putting a stronger rear wheel on a crank drive is far easier than a rear hub powered bike. I have a hardtail Yamaha PU powered Haibike that also climbs like a goat, and...

I just bought a replacement 36A15Ah Lithium battery off Ebay for my old Oxygen Emate City 2011 bike for £217.90 that came with various bits and pieces including a charger with an EU plug. I just bought an EU/UK plug adapter, but also have my old charger that I bought as a stand alone item some...

Just to be different, I use a bbb classic ride pedals which are a smaller supper tough and long lasting pedals combined with plastic toe cage style pedal clips that offer some protection to your feet and hold your feet on the pedal for more control and the ability to pull the pedal as well as...

I was quite taken with the Top Peak rack and clip in bag combination but decided on a generic rack with Ortleib Panniers. I have to say I am a real fan of the Ortleib panniers having now used them since 2011 as they are completely waterproof, have a flexible carrying capacity and clip on and...

I use a hardtail without a suspension seat post on a 14/18 mile (different route choices) off road route. If you are doing your chosen route regularly you should get to know the bits to avoid to smooth things out. On fast bumpy downhill/technical bits I stand up and take the hits through my...

Returning to my bike after a bit of shopping at the supermarket I found a older couple keen to chat about electric bikes. They had just bought a pair of Cytronex kits to electrify their bikes. I had not looked at the Cytronex site for some time but having been prompted by my conversation with...

Hi kangooroo. I have an Emate City that I bought new in 2011. It needs a new battery. I remember you posting about buying one off ebay. ysbattery-2012 are still selling them on ebay. How are you getting on with yours. Regards. Henry (georgehenry)

Hi Wehey I use Specialized Crossroads Armadilo Tyres that are 1.9" wide and have fantastic puncture protection, are good on the road but are quite capable off road. I commute to and from work usually with between a 14 and 18 mile off road route and then 10 miles home on the road. I put them on...

I nearly added a hub gear bike, as a bike that could easily be an exception to chain longevity on a crank drive bike for the reasons you mention. But if you want to go off road and can't or decide not to extend yourself to a 14 speed Rohlof hub then its a cassette and a chain. Maybe the Raleigh...

[QUOTE="tillson, p Why are you buying 2 to 3 chains per year? What do you do to them? I ride about 3000 miles per year on my bike and get a minimum of 2 years out of a chain. Just put plenty of grease on it and ride until the teeth start falling off the sprockets. Then replace the whole lot for...

According to a certain other prominent pedelec member MP should be able to travel an order of magnitude further than you achieved. The truth is out there, just not as we know it Jim. The rear tyre is obviously going to wear out quicker than the front. I put Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus tyres on my...

Not quite shorts and sun block but very different from my snowy ride on Monday. Sunny, drying out tracks and just leggings and long sleeved top and gloves. I used just 29% of my battery on my 14 mile off road route to work giving a potential range of 48.3 miles for my 3 years old 400WH battery...

No, thanks for that I will make contact and see if they can help.
