    Wisper 705 Playing up

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08HQHW4LS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I bought one of these re-chargeable compressors, really for motorcycle trips abroad, but it has proved annoyingly useful.

    Getting back on......

    My last crash, I've had a few, was on the platform of a railway station. Now retired and armed with my free travel pass after a 12 year last career spell working for The Railway, I am in the habit of catching the train from my Town with no Lidl, to the next bigger Town nearby, doing a circuit...

    I have been a bit slow to pick up on your accident soundwave. Sounds quite a fall. I hope you start to feel a bit better soon.

    Has anyone successfully used the 6 year rule for a failed Bosch motor?

    Probably where you bought the bike is the first place to chat to. Mine replaced my Yamaha motor right at the end of the two year warranty. They were very good. Once outside the warranty period Peter at what used to be called Performance Line Bearings is very good, and if he fixes it, it will be...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Hi guerney I got defaulted to Octopus after my energy company went bust, and do actually quite like them. I got a similar email about my electricity meter needing replacing. I ignored it and will ignore any other emails, as like you, I like my dumb meters. I am sure from their point of view...

    a question on walk mode

    I have walk assist on my Haibike Yamaha. It requires you to push and hold down a button to get the motor assist. The speed on my bike is so slow as to be not worth the effort. My two old rear hub Oxygen Emate City bikes both have unrestricted throttles. These are very useful as you can adjust...

    Swapping wheel rims

    I had a rear wheel built up for me in 2020, and the actual wheel build was £75. The parts I specified though added quite a lot to that! If you have the time and temperament have a go yourself.

    SATURN 16 MGU PINION MOTOR.GEARBOX.UNIT

    Got to love German marketing. They make it sound indestructible. Need to give it to Edie to immerse in **** and ride it through a high mileage Winter. It does look fantastic, and I would love to have a ride on it. That belt tensioner looks a possible weak spot, but what do I know. I am not sure...

    Help! Can you help me find an E-bike?

    That bike I linked is at that price to clear the stock and fine if its the right size for you, but only the smaller size available. At that price there had to be a reason!

    Help! Can you help me find an E-bike?

    This sounds very similar to the motor fitted to my 2015 Yamaha powered Haibike. Mine climbs very well and I am over 100Kg and always have panniers with me. When I bought it, it was one of the most powerful. How things change. However I think it performs better than its numbers might indicate...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    ODO OK My odo meter on my motor has indeed reset, Yamaha obviously do not expect people to ride their motors as far as I have, but although it is starting from zero again, It is increasing as it should after each ride.

    "Police stat shows that 260 electric powered bicycles were seized by officers last year"

    I am reminded why I try never to read The Daily Mail. That was inaccurate click bait. The most telling statistic missing was the total number of people who had been killed by being hit by a bicycle. flecc will probably know.

    The tale of a £100 second hand electric bike.

    Back when I bought my Haibike in 2015, Martin the owner of the shop I bought it from asked me if I would not prefer the hard tail Haibike that had the bosch motor with the piece of mind that a tried and tested motor system brought. That was the first year that Haibike had fitted the Yamaha...

    The tale of a £100 second hand electric bike.

    Hi egroover, I still have the original battery, and it still works, but is now a back up as I bought a silver fish Yose 15Ah battery from ebay a couple of years ago when I saw it in a flash sale for £165.62 including charger. So that is on the bike at the moment. With two Emates that take the...
