Just finished 6 days of early turns at work. These early duties are the ones where the £100 ebike gets me to work and back. On two of the days I was designated to be on call at home and was lucky not to be called and stayed at home. These "at home duties" are a consequence of covid and the...

I hear what you are saying VFR but the fishermen I encounter when I ride on the Tow Path of the River Wey for the 6 mile journey from Godalming to Guildford are much easier to get past than the ones you describe. A ring ring bell is a good idea for the pedestrians you may encounter.

I use toe clips on my hard tail Haibike and find them excellent. I use a smaller strong pedal and a plastic toe style enclosure extension designed for straps. The combination of the two work really well together. Off road you can angle your foot so it is forward in the toe enclose and held...

Great report trickgixer and I absolutely loved the picture and view towards Anglesey. It is a superb area. I was married in St Maelogs Church on Anglesey.

First off road rides to work after my 20 day summer leave period. I came back to four days of work after my summer break. Of those four the second and third enabled me to use my Haibike and enjoy my 12 mile cross country route to work. The first of those rides was on Saturday 29th of August...

As soundwave has said if you get a good price from them ebikeshop Farnham will fit a dongle and honour the warranty.

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...

Our minds are working on the same sad lines!

Baa humbug I do not think the censor would be happy if we embarked on the many sheep jokes from the 80's!

My last ride to work today before three days off, setting off at 11:40. Lovely ride in beautiful countryside. Came across many more people than normal but it is a bank holiday so to be expected. Used even less battery capacity on my 12 mile ride to work than the day before yesterday, 26%. I had...

That's the rub BazP, the most convenient way to charge the battery is your way so that it is always ready to be used. That's the way I treat my silverfish batteries, mostly charging near to full or full in the garage so they are ready to use. I guess because the replacement costs of batteries...

First ride to work after a 21 day lay off for my Haibike bike and battery during my summer holiday break, 12 miles cross country to work and then 10 miles back home in the small hours on the road. The joys of shift work. So I charged my almost 5 and a half year old 400Wh Yamaha battery to full...

When you gotta go, Speaking of rocky tracks this is the near impossible Hollinsclough green lane in The Peak District that we went up on another boys trip on old bikes. Below is some guys in land rovers on the same. Got to love a rocky step.

Another stunner. I had a great Autumn boys trip to The Lakes a few years ago based in Coniston on old motorbikes and were very lucky with the weather in 2015, and I think if I am remembering correctly shortly after our return the area was hit by the most dreadful storms and floods. We did a...

If you do not have the technical skills and/or are lazy like me you can buy a timer plug to either cut the power to the charger when you know it will have finished charging the battery or to do a partial charge, for example if your battery is below the level you are comfortable storing it but do...

With money from my first proper job I bought a Yamaha RD400F. A rather insane coffin tanked air cooled 2 stroke. No idea how I survived that episode in my young life. I checked the registration with the DVLA gov site about 6 months ago and it is still registered and on the road. Like mine but...

So the batteries supplied with the Yamaha system judging by Chris and my own experience of hard long use would appear to be very high quality. As I charge my battery back to full at work from only a 30% discharge and leave my charger switched on and attached to my battery until the end of my...

Hi Chris, I had worked out that I had done around 400 charge cycles based on using 70% of my batteries capacity riding 22 miles to work and back and having ridden 12,450 miles so far. From that I worked out how far I could ride on one full charge cycle by dividing 22 by 0.7 to get 31.4. I...

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/975488/Yamaha-X94-Series.html?page=19#manual A pretty blunt tool, but it is still indicating that my battery has the highest capacity that this test can indicate, ie 75% to 100%. My maths or how much I thought I had used the battery must be wrong as the test...
