Well I never, who would have thought it, just look at her now Better than having all the gear and no idea. I have just come back from a boys away on my old 1979 Honda xl250 riding with lads on their new fangled Gas Gas's, KTM's and Husqyarna's, staying in Monmouth and riding in the Wye valley...

On my old Oxygen rear hub I try to remember to turn the power down when going down steeper hills. I live at the top of a steep hill and have three main routes up it and choose the least steep so that my old rear hub motor is not labouring in bottom gear where hub motors tend to be least efficient.

Mine is a Yamaha 400Wh battery on a 2015 hard tail Haibike and is four years old and has covered 10750 commuting miles so far and is still working well which I do not see as too bad. If I bought a Yamaha replacement battery when it dies it would be expensive but there is the option to have them...

I see other bikes so rarely on my 10 mile b road commute and on those rare occasions that I do just wave or say hello. If I come across them going the same direction as me I usually catch them up and pass them quickly. I have in eight years of commuting only had one roadie overtake me and keep...

Good idea Nealth. I have probably been lucky not to have had an issue before now as I have noticed when adding air that a lot of pressure has been needed initially to get the air to flow into the tube and I now know why, but the process of removing cleaning and replacing was easy.

Deere John your route to work looks fantastic too. We are both lucky.

I have been commuting too and from work mostly by ebike for quite a few years now and really enjoy it. I definitely do sweat on my commute of 20 to 24 miles round trip but wear cycling gear, allow about half an hour when I get there to sluice myself down and change into my work gear and do not...

Just in time for Spring! How far is you commute?

Great couple of morning rides to work, the first just as it was getting light yesterday in a sprightly 0" temp of 12 miles and then 14 miles today starting a couple of hours later and 6" warmer, but both superb rides only marred slightly by my front tyre deflating that I think is the presta...

My Yamaha 400Wh battery is four years old and has covered 10724 miles since i bought my Haibike in 2015. I use the bike to commute too and from work and charge it to full as close to departure time as possible and then charge it back to full at work before riding home and then bring the battery...

Whatever you buy you should try to use a dealer who impresses you with their customer service and is within hitting distance of home and are happy to offer a decent test ride on the bikes you have short listed and a few you have not. I have been commuting to work and back on an electric bike...

Deeply unfashionable but I am with you Leighping and carry rolled up wellies in my panniers to keep my feet dry when the heavens open. I also keep an eye on the online weather forecast and take the car to work on the actually very few days that it is likely to really cane it down, although I...

Just an update to this thread. When my battery/charger connector broke I thought it very possible that it could happen to someone else. I was contacted by another pedelec member with the same issue copied below. Battery Connector Failure I bought a Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2017 Yamaha 4...

Calling my untidy overstuffed garage a workshop would many steps too far. One day I will tidy it. Great ride to work today in the sunshine. Field of dreams The last post Britty woods Crooksbury common. 68 miles over the last three days journeys to work with one more potential return trip...

Took a few pictures on the way in to work today and I hope you can see why I enjoy it so much. 10.702 miles now completed since I started riding this bike to work in March 2015. 68 miles in the last three days. Still the first 400Wh battery. Used 32% of the battery on the 12 mile cross country...

I am using cheap shimano steel cassettes combined with kmc chains and a quaility narrow wide front chain ring paired to give me the best compromise gearing on my single chain ring set up for my off road route to work and on road commute home on my 9 speed Haibike hard tail set up. My cassettes...

I ride my 2015 Yamaha PW motor hard tail Haibike with the motor off a far bit and do not notice any drag from the motor, just the weight of the bike as I am heavy and carry two loaded panniers. Once moving on the level ground I do not notice any drag maintain speed easily. Once an uphill...

I have with some reservations to agree with Ballynoes. I have been using a Haibike sDuro Yamaha hard tail to commute to work on since 2015 with 10634 miles under its wheels. The first motor was replaced under warranty after 6000 miles after play had developed and a worn bearing. The motor...

Motorcyclists can buy a devise called a Scottoiler that delivered oil to a motorcycle chain while the bike was being ridden and was said to extend the life of a chain considerably.
