Great stuff - congratulations.

I've not spent much time with the Yamaha drive unit but did give it a whirl at a demo day recently and enjoyed it.

Lapierre certainly know how to make a good looking bike.

Let us know your thoughts once you've spent some time with it.

Bought the same^^end of october last year (largest frame size)..got 960m on the clock..pretty sure
i,ve done quite a bit more as have dongle fitted which makes nonsense of the
readings..anyways..what can i say..tis a cracking bike..if i had the choice again
i,d buy it again without a 2nd thought..although a bigger 500w batt would be nice ..the only thing i,ve had to do to it is
tighten the 4 allen bolts up that hold the front chain rings on..they all came loose after a few 100 miles...no probs with them since...but keep checking them...been reading your last few posts an i knew you,d buy it as soon as you
clapped eyes on it...tis a beast.

image.jpg Well guys I had my first real ride today and all I can say it's a great bike to ride, it's not like the oxydrive kit I had on my other bike, there is nothing wrong with the kit, I did over 800 miles with it and I was more than happy with it.

But this new bike is in a different class, I just love the way the more you pedal the more you get from the motor and the breaks are ace.
It's all good so far but I only did just over 20 miles today and most of this was in the wood with a mix of all the power levels and I still had 60% bat left.

you want the badd ass dongle as its easy to remove other wise you have to fit the others inside the motor case.

that will take the top speed to 35mph if you have the gearing to get going that fast.

also at that speed it will nuke the battery be lucky to get 15 miles out of it.

even if you could get it going that fast there be no way you could keep it there for very long even in high assist mode.

the dongle lets you use a lower mode and removes the 15mph limit so can go faster.

if around 25mph then will get about 30 miles on my bike in the bottom 2 modes.

just depends how much effort you can put in to how fast and how far you can go.

I may look at one of then at a later date.
I did see a video on YouTube where the gut put the magnet on the crank arm and then he put the sensor on the outside of the swing arm
