The issue is that this connector is prone to failure and cost me almost nothing to change and was actually easy to fix by my friend with some electrical knowledge but I was lucky as we had no guidance and anyone who faces this failure really should be able to have it fixed by their dealer at a...

Sorry to hear that RaBirdman. I thought when I first had this problem that I was unlikely to be the only one. All the manufacturers need is a competent electrician available wherever this system is sold to replace the connector for clients when it breaks. That simple. Although I did not make...

Another lovely ride to work in shorts and a T shirt. Used 26% of my 400Wh battery for the 12 mile ride to work and 38% for the faster 10 mile ride home.

On Saturday I finished five days of commuting to work and back and 100 miles and am now 20 miles shy of my first 500 miles on my £100 Oxygen and the display shows that it is about to reach 1000 miles from new whenever that was, probably 2011 or there abouts. Although I have had to replace a...

Barrio Barranco, what a brilliant ride!

not this one.

Yes my throttle is progressive.

I was very glad of my throttle this morning! About 6 miles in to a 10 mile commute on a steep hill my chain broke. I am a shift worker and this happened at about 04:45 in the morning. I actually do carry a split link but did not fancy that by the side of the road by torch light. I bagged the...

The worry is the fake stuff being branded as genuine. Very much a case of "Caveat emptor".

Hi argoose, yes I have seen this and it is good to have some options to repair and overhaul an older motor rather than having to buy a new one or bike.

Nice pictures Dom T I did not get round to uploading a couple of pictures from a few I took on my ride to work on the 18th of March, so better late than never. The off road route on the Haibike is so much fun and much more of a work out than riding on the road.

We are getting great weather here too. My start times for work this week are dictating riding on the road to work and back, with a real contrast between the very early ride to work in temperatures within a couple degrees of freezing and then lovely sunny and quite warm weather for the ride home...

Hi Perseus, it is good to see ongoing warts and all reviews like yours. I am doing my own in respect of a entry level Haibike hard tail mountain bike with a Yamaha crank drive system that I bought in 2015 to ride to work and back on including a proper off road route to work and road ride home...

I am not quite as heavy or as tall as you but still probably around 120kg with my loaded panniers and bought an entry level off the peg Haibike hard tail mountain bike with Yamaha PW crank drive motor and have racked up a serious mileage riding to work and back including a lot of off road and...

Zlatan I am no techi but there are threads warning about putting multi meters near the terminals of a Yamaha battery causing real problems.

It is a nice bike soundwave. I could quote that old saying "buy cheap, buy twice", but my own Haibike was an entry level model and like yours has entered its 5th year of ownership with 10,810 miles on it, still using the original battery and has been very impressive...

I use trespass over trousers that are breathable water proof and cheap as chips. I am currently using a Altura night vision jacket that is cycle specific well ventilated and available in bigger sizes that I got in a sale. I do not think any waterproof stuff stays that way and however...

Cheers Eagle, adding to this review now occasionally, is as much for me now, although I hope the odd person enjoys it. I like reading reviews of other bikes but often think that although initial thoughts are useful many are done too soon and you need to live with a bike a bit and put some miles...

10,774 Mile 4 Year Update Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha 4 Year update I have now covered 10,774 miles with 4774 miles on the replacement motor and 2056 miles in total for the year as the bike reaches its fourth birthday. The previous motor was replaced under warranty at 6000 miles...

Hi Nev I had a look at the link to the bikes and thought that the active line, 500Wh battery and a quality road bike should make a very practical long distance machine. You should have a lot of fun on it.
