    Another Lockdown Ride. The exercise ride above was done on Sunday and today I thought I would do another one. This one was 22 miles, mostly off road, and my knees and back are letting me know after being bounced around a lot, perhaps full suspension beckons. I used 41% of my battery by the time...

    Be cautious, this message was sent to me after I posted how I replaced the battery and charger connections on my Yamaha battery and charger. Help! We have two Haibike Sduro Hardsevens, whilst away on holiday one stopped working with the battery flashing E and F and would not switch on...

    Good hybrid tyre

    And in case you want an alternative to the ubiquitous Scwhalbe brand. I have been running a pair of Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. They have proved tough as old nails having now covered over 6,254 since 5th January 2017. Hard wearing and highly...

    Remember to Breathe

    I do like your videos, they capture the fun, freedom and engagement with the landscape you can enjoy on an electric bike. I took some stills today of my own lockdown ride in the Surrey Hills. Field with a view.

    Help! Battery Recharge Intervals

    Hi Andy-Mat I copy what I said above. "My Yamaha 400Wh battery is entering its 6th year and is performing seemingly exactly as it did when new. It has covered 11,900 miles or 19,151km. I use my bike to commute to work and back. I store my battery indoors at about 65% charged and charge it...

    Help! Battery Recharge Intervals

    I agree with Nealth and disagree with Andy-Mat on this as my own battery has spent its whole life being partially charged back to full and as I said is has now entered its 6th year of service working like it did when it was new after covering 11,900 miles.

    Lockdown

    I am in an edge of Town suburban area and if we walk directly from the house using I guess 1/8th to a 1/4 of a mile of pavements to access the nearest footpaths/bridal paths into the close by countryside we come across far more people on the pavements and first footpaths/bridal paths than if we...

    Help! Battery Recharge Intervals

    RE Yamaha Battery pedelec member chris_n commented " Whatever you do even if someone suggests otherwise do not go trying to do capacity tests with external loads and do not go sticking multimeters into battery terminals. If you try to do a load test you will kill the battery, if you go sticking...

    Lockdown

    I took my one form of exercise today on my hard tail 2015 Yamaha Haibike on my own. Normally I only use my Haibike to commute to work and back, so riding for another purpose was a bit of a novelty. I did a 16 mile loop from my home and once on the tracks close to my house met only a very few...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    It is part of the human condition to socialize in family groups and to be distrustful and often openly hostile to other groups. One of the reasons we have not discovered other intelligent life in the universe could be that any civilizations that have come in to existence have not lasted that long.

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    I think that is a good strategy flecc. We watched some sobering and heart braking footage from North Italy on the TV yesterday where a very modern hospital had been simply overwhelmed by the numbers of seriously ill people needing intensive treatment .

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    I did nearly all my shopping by electric bike until the lock down, and in my household that meant fairly frequent smaller shopping trips on my bike. Now for the first time in years I am using the car to do a bigger shop and then keeping away from the supermarkets as long as possible, aiming at...
