I do use them on occasion to buy odd parts off them online where I can choose which store to pick up from and find that facility can be useful. I bought the pair of Tyres that I have on my Haibike from them. I did in fact buy my first electric bike from them as my company ride to work scheme...

As a shift worker I either travel cross country to avoid cars or am on my 10 mile road ride at times when there are less cars about. I mostly get overtaken with reasonable care. However there are still some bad overtakes. The last one I had was the worst for quite some time. I was close to the...

I have a huge Evans local to me in Guildford but choose to use a small independent bike shop run by two grumpy old men like me called Pedal Pushers which I love for its old school charm. I will be sorry if the Evans store shuts though, but the floor area of their store is huge and must cost a...

I prefer the battery position on the Raleigh and that it is cheaper but if you have test ridden them then the one you liked best is probably the one to go for.

Blimey. My 14 mile off road route to work using mostly bridal paths with the odd byway and slightly naughty I know section of footpath that avoids a particularly nasty bit of B road almost never see a soul, but when occasionally I do, horse rider or walker, pleasantly pass the time of day and...

I replied before seeing the crank brothers response. Perhaps they can effect a repair for you.

Very lucky not to get a high speed blow out front puncture. Unless you really like the bling value I might be looking elsewhere for my next set of wheels

At least you use cheap wheels so it will not break the bank to get a replacement! If that is the rear, I would inspect the front as well to be on the safe side.

Well after putting the new chain and cassette on I have started getting a noise that could be from the transmission but could be from the motor that was not there before and has just started to happen coincidentally with the change of the rear cassette and chain. It is loudest when I am...

So for an expensive crank drive you need to allow for both the motor and the battery!

As I said marmite and I only speak from my own experience which has been good. Maybe it would have been otherwise if I had wanted to return my bike if it had been the wrong size. I almost did not post my comment above because the only two people who know the truth of that particular matter are...

Although one story is good until another is told and I never commented in that thread at the time I believe that the person who made that rather bitter post may not have been completely truthful. What he may have failed to declare in his post though I have no evidence one way or another is that...

One potentially flaw in the flec valuation method in relation to crank drive bikes is the assumption that the battery is the most fragile element. I am one of those high mileage commuters using a crank drive Yamaha hard tail Haibike. I bought it in March 2015, and it is now 3 and a half years...

There is a thread going on at the moment in the electric mountain bike forum featuring the Voodoo Zobob E from Halfords. A full suspension mountain bike with Bosch CX performance motor, 500Wh battery and Rock shox suspension, plus size tyres and dropper post that with discounts is being bought...

Thanks for your reply and picture. If you are mostly in bottom gears climbing under load i think your cassette should last a long time. I ride in beautiful countryside but Austria must be something special. I have skied in a number of locations in Austria and ridden through parts with friends on...

Hi Chris, I have been tempted to go for a front mech dual chain ring set up to enable me to do just what you suggest. I was very close to doing it but then just never actually did. If you were at some time able to take a few pictures of your set up to post on this thread at some time it...

10,000 Mile Update 10.000 miles feels like a milestone on my Haibike Yamaha commuting to work odyssey. Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha 3 and a half Year update As of my return trip from work last night I have covered 9954 miles with 3954 on the new motor. I return to work on Friday and...

As Keats said"It is a time of mists and mellow fruitfulness" though he somehow failed to mention lost ebikers.

Although I have never owned one people speak highly of the motus. You have done the most important thing which is to test ride the bike and like it. Bosch is a quality product. These are their new motors and if there is an issue with them that will appear over time that issue is not known at the...

Keep your eyes on the classified ads. I recently bought a Oxygen emate city for spar parts for a 2011 one I have and when I got it home realised that it was in much better nick than mine. It needed a saddle £10 from lidl and a replacement spoke in the rear wheel. Oxygen sent me 10 free of...
