In this discussion it is relevant to me as I have seen distinctly different behaviour between the two different sizes. If you are running a Yamaha with a 500Wh battery you will not have the same experience at 10%. The whole control system for what a Yamaha battery does is contained within the...

You still haven't said what size your battery is. The behaviour you describe is how I felt a 500wh battery working but my (and others that I know of) do this rationing what is available thing much higher. I guess at 10% it could be no longer able to give enough voltage that no matter how wide...

He knows it's in his text elsewhere

There are some aftermarket batteries available in Germany but they are still expensive. http://www.ebay.de/itm/eBike-AKKU-36V-13000mAh-fur-Haibike-Sduro-Fulllife-Fullsix-Yamaha-Down-Tube-Type-/371997063510?hash=item569cc0b956:g:MrcAAOSwCkZZVQjU It is also possible to fit an extender in parallel...

I guess I sparked this debate off. Which battery do you have? My Yamaha 400Wh has always been terrible for me up my home hill with anything less than 15%, it is particularly bad at any lower than 10%. I always aim to get back into the village at 20% to give me plenty of leeway. I hired a 500Wh...

I think its a 2015 model, not listed on the Haibike international website.

You can usually remove the valve core on Presta valves and get your sealant in that way, then refit the core.

My bike is derestrictedbut that makes no difference when climbing at 10 - 15 kmh. It is voltage sag, it is hot, the battery is low and everything becomes inefficient. With a 500wh battery it is a lot less noticable.

I suspect my normal terrain may be a little more extreme than yours. My last km is up an average of over 10% with sections up to 20%, on the 2016 400wh battery the last 10% is torture. I have a friend who is a mechanic at the local bike shop, he commutes 25km to and from work every day on a...

I have a Haibike hardseven too. It is a blast, however I feel it is far too heavy for what it is. The fork is nowhere near as good as my 10 year old Boardman MTB (although that does have a particularly fine XC 100mm fork) brakes are fine, gears are fine. I live in the Alps most of the year and...

Well done Eddie. Proper climbing does require low gearing. I have a ride planned next week with over 2700m climbing, not all in one go though as it's not really possible without a drive first for me. I have arranged a hire of a second battery from a local bike hire place that has a load of...

I'm in Austria for the summer, refreshing to see the variety of people cycling here.

Lots of mature women riding local to me on Bosch crank drive step through bikes. No idea what make they all are but there do seem to be lots of them.

Round the inside of some of the hairpins could well be approaching 90 or even 100%, probably not the best choice of line though.

That's climbing, not theorising ;). Enjoy the holiday, how long are you there? This was my last one. https://www.strava.com/activities/1066729942

Put the magnet on the pedal spindle and move the rear wheel sensor to suit. Yes the speedo doesn't work but who cares, use a free app on your phone or buy a wired cycle computer if it maters.

There is no such thing as cycling undercrackers. Commando is the only way.

How many spokes, 32 or 36? Looking forward to this as I have a few ideas of my own.

If I could still average 20mph I wouldn't even contemplate an ebike!

Just fit the free one and use an app on your phone for speed etc
