Without over generalising I have a suspicion that some pedelec members may be retired and perhaps able to give me the benefit of their experience. How they approached their retirement and what worked well and perhaps what did not. What they thought retirement would be like and what the reality...

My Haibike is usually confined to taking me to work, cross country on the way to work, and on the road back home. However I am using up holiday days rather than lose them and sitting at home when I thought put the battery on charge and go for a cross country blast to blow my cobwebs away.Half a...

Just wondered if anyone else has been out on their bikes enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. I am a shift worker on late turn at the moment and have had the same job two days running, meaning setting off for work at around 11:45. Yesterday I finished at 22:46, but today was lucky to finish...

I wondered if anyone knows the correct style/BCD chain ring to order as a replacement for the standard 52 tooth one on my old Oxygen Emate City circa 2011. A link to one would be appreciared. Also a link to a suitable replacement brake rotor. It attaches with six small bolts. I need one for...

My throttle has stopped working on my £100 Ebike, that Nealh has christened "David". If anyone is able to post a link where I can buy as close a replacement as possible I would be grateful. Thanks

Hi all. I have an old Emate City of 2011 vintage. In fact I have two having bought a second one from the classified section. The front light on my original Emate has just stopped working. I include some pictures. If anyone could help me, maybe with an ebay link or similar, to a light I could...

I noticed this double chain ring hard tail mountain bike available for pre order in the Haibike line up. Crank drive double chain ring mountain bikes are now pretty rare. It has a updated crank drive Yamaha motor, 500Wh battery and hydraulic disc brakes in the very robust Haibike frame. The...

I bought this kryptonite U lock in 2010. Recently the key fractured leaving about half its length in the lock. I have placed the broken key next to a good one so that you can see the portion that broke off. A friendly locksmith managed to remove the part that had broken off in the lock. I...

On the face of it this cyclist appears a little hard done by.

Saw a small story about tax breaks to steer us to e-bikes in The Sunday Times. Worth 32% for basic tax payers and 42% for higher. Also proposing to sweep away £1000 limit on value of bikes eligible with no limit for e-bikes. Might make my fantasy Reise and Muller top of the range Delite...

I currently use Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width that have covered 5278 commuting miles to work and back. I do a 12 to 14 mile off road route to work and 10 miles back on the road so roughly two thirds of the miles covered are off road. I have never...

I was on a family holiday in Devon when I spotted an Oxygen Emate City electric bike in the pedelec classified section close enough to where I live at a tempting £100 asking price. Now I have owned an Oxygen Emate city since 2011 (My first electric bike) and really like it but it has led a hard...

Unfortunately my magnetic disc that activates my pedalec assist has taken a knock and broken into a number of pieces. Could anyone recommend a good contact / somewhere to get a quick replacement. It appears to have 5 magnets and looks to have the letters SM and A on the disc. This is a 2011...

I commute to work and back on a 2015 hardtail Yamaha powered sDuro Haibike. After a couple of rear wheel side wall failures using schwalbe smart sam plus tyres I changed to Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. I ride about 3000 miles a year with...

I have noticed this Haibike left locked at a local station quite regularly for around seven months now. It hasn't gone missing so far!

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...

I have an old 2011 Oxygen Emate City bike that I would like to have looked at by a competent and trust worthy ebike shop as close to where I live near Guildford in Surrey as possible. Any recommendations/contact details would be appreciated. For a highly recommended shop I would be happy to...
