You are of course right, although I do have a small obsession with having back up capability. I do however also mend stuff and just as importantly use them a lot. All the electric bikes I have bought (3) are in good working order. My first Oxygen is on its third motor, and the Haibike had a new...

As my own 2015 Yamaha hard tail Haibike will be 6 years old in March next year and I am still using the original battery I am seriously thinking of buying the latest version Haibike 4, for £2,249, as so many parts are easily interchangeable including the 500wH battery and charger that bought...

It was only a quick chat while collecting a part from the dealership. He was talking about motors not batteries. However I understand what you are saying and had my own well documented issues with my own Yamaha battery that I had to fix myself. None of the big manufacturer systems seem to be...

A bike mechanic I know who works at a large dealership that sells both Bosch and Yamaha powered bikes as well as others said that the Yamaha motor is much more reliable than the Bosch, ie they get a lot more motor problems with Bosch powered bikes compared to Yamaha powered ones, hardly...

Sorry to hear of your health issues and I hope you are feeling better soon.

I have ridden my electric bikes in all weathers including torrential rain on occasion as they are my ride to work and back transport. They are though stored at home in a garage and at work also inside while I work my shift. I ride to work for the fun and exercise and do also have a car and...

The light is now fitted and working well. Thanks very much VFR for the link. It came quickly from Europe (Holland I think), at a good price, certainly cheaper than amazon, with good communication from the company, and the wiring required was only to push the two connectors from the wires on the...

Hi, I have not used him but at the end of this thread I started about my own battery/charger connector issues there is a member called Cosas who has said he can fix Yamaha battery problems either with the connectors or the BMS by fitting his own designed BMS...

Riese and Muller Homage for when you can't get your leg over so to speak! Understated, under the radar full suspension crank drive with a naughty high speed motor option.

I might be wrong and happy to be corrected but if you want full suspension and also a rear rack to carry panniers the Riese and Muller bikes seem the only option with a factory fitted system.

I find general activity is good for my back, and both walking and cycling as well as other general moving around activities all help. Sitting in one position for too long is bad for my back. I have also found stretching exercises can be good. One of the things to be aware about cycling...

Thanks vfr I will order one.

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 bought my ebike to commute to work and back rather than drive the car, so that immediately reduced car use. I also use my (Now Ebikes) for most general shopping and errands which would have been done in the car and again cuts down on the use of the car. A case in point last week was a...

A bigger bike shed sounds like a good idea. You are getting some very nice weather while you are away from work. I might have to revise my statement about a one day September heat wave as it has been just as hot today, I saw 31 degrees on my display, and so warm for my late ride home that I...

Fabulous cross country ride to work yesterday in the one day September heat wave. I saw a peak of 32 degrees on my display. The road ride home at around quarter to one was still shorts and T shirt temperature although I wore a thin long sleeved high viz jacket and shorts rather than a T...

The shop should check this when they do a repair, but I recently put a marathon plus on the rear of one of my electric bikes, I could ride for a day or two and then the tyre went down. When I checked more thoroughly to my embarrassment the rim tape had become mis aligned and an exposed part of...

I have to agree about test rides, though as I am not intending to buy a bike at the moment, do not know how difficult it is in the current situation to test ride several bikes. My first electric bike could have been a disaster as I used a ride to work scheme and could only buy through Evans and...

The Nexus 5E mentions a gear range of 263%. For a bear with a little brain I wonder if someone could explain how this might compare with my current rear cassette which is a 12/36. Is it as simple as dividing 36 by 12 to get 3 and is my cassette range 300%. I am sure someone will explain...
