Slartiblartfast, Is this your machine with the Yamaha PW motor: https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/reviews/electric-city-bikes/haibike-sduro-trekking-40-1698 ?

Thanks to all who have responded so far. Would more Haibike and Giant ebike owners care to comment on their personal experiences with Yamaha motors ? Thanks again.

anotherkiwi, I am not sure what you mean by "motors with normal sized chainwheels". Do you mean motors with direct drive (like the Active Line Plus), as opposed to the Bosch CX motor which has internal gearing?

Fat Rat, Thanks.

The real benefit of the zero resist Activeline Plus on my Cube Touring bike for me is that I can simply treat the bike as a normal one and only use the power assist as a HR moderator. Andy, that is exactly the sort of information I require. Many thanks. Haibike and Giant ebike owners, I am...

I am interested to know how much drag (none, a small amount, quite a lot, like towing an adult hippo?) pedelecers experience above 15.5 mph with various motors such as Bosch Active Line Plus, Yamaha PW-X, Yamaha PW-SE, Giant SyncDrive Sport (Yamaha) on various ebikes such as Crossfuse, Cube...

Andy, How you are getting on with your Giant Explore +1? Would you recommend it? How does it perform on the hills? Do you need to keep up a high cadence? What happens when you reach the 15.5 mph cutoff speed? Do you feel as if you pedalling through treacle or is there little resistance? What...

03murreayj, First of all, there is no need to spend £2k. How about saving £1200 instead (see below)? Hub drive, hydraulic brakes and a high gear (to prevent spinning out or pedalling air when attempting to travel fast on the flat) led me to choose an Oxygen MTB which I use exclusively on the...

peejay42, How you are getting on with your Giant Explore +2? How does it perform on the hills? Do you need to keep up a high cadence? What happens when you reach the 15.5 mph cutoff speed? Do you feel as if you pedalling through treacle or is there little resistance? Have you had any...

This Crane Suzu brass bell makes pedestrians and dogs take notice: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crane-Bell-Brass-Bicycle-Steel/dp/B01CU6QRK8 Listen to it here:

“One shop I went to advised that I really should spend a little extra and go for a crank motor over a hub motor as hubs were "yesterday's technology" I am sure that many pedelecers with hub motors would raise an eyebrow at that particular comment. Post #4 may help you with the hub vs crank...

In your position I would go for the Woosh Big Bear Low Step: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls

I suggest that you look at this thread and in particular, posts #17 and #30: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bosch-climbing-speed.27833/ I live in a hilly area and I can vouch for the hub drive Oxygen MTB. Full particulars of the 3 Oxygen bikes are here...

electrifly, I have had good reliable service from SJS Cycles: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/

Here is one example: https://cyclingindustry.news/cube-warns-customers-off-fraudulent-webshop-bearing-ceos-name/ Extract: “Cube Bikes has issued a warning to customers across Europe to steer clear of the domain Bicycles4you.de. UPDATE: The domain crossfitperpetua.net is now also registering...

Do NOT go to crossfitperpetua.net for bikes at apparently amazing bargain prices: https://www.crossfitperpetua.net/ crossfitperpetua.net is a rental website of a well-known bunch of scammers. It has no connection whatsoever with the genuine Crossfit Perpetua gyms in Wandsworth and Dublin...

Who claimed that a cycle helmet would offer protection against a falling 2 ton tree trunk? I suppose if the cyclist had decided to walk instead, then he/she would have had an even greater time to carry out a full risk assessment and act accordingly.

soundwave, Thanks for the two videos featuring that well known rip-off outfit with its teams of "geniuses". It appears that Bosch is going down the same path in the way that it treats its customers. I hope that The Repair Association goes from strength to strength. Customers should have the...

For anybody not wishing to pay full price on a new Oxygen S-Cross MTB there is a 4 month old one for sale on ebay. The original bill of sale is available. Google for “Oxygen S-CROSS MTB Electric Mountain Bike - Only 4 month old”. I have no connection whatsoever with the seller.
