    Bosch bearings

    & herein lies a problem. I did help out Phill. Shortly after I became inundated with calls from other LBSs who wanted advice & also some who expected me to fix their warranty problems! In fact Scott actually told their dealer base to contact me for any warranty issues arising with Scott eBikes...

    Which bike ahhh? :)

    Hi Bikesman, Just to clarify the 'xDuro' HardSeven uses the Bosch system. Its the 'sDuro' Hardseven that uses the Yamaha system. Why not look at the hardseven here? It fits within your budget, we are able to 'dongle' it and it also available in a range of sizes to suit. I will be doing a...

    Haibike sDuro Yamaha powered 2015 eBike range revealed!

    Hi Rob, I found it to not be a problem, both on and off road.. Heard many say that Eco mode on Bosch does next to nothing before. Although I do disagree with this as I use Eco quite often. The 3 modes are simple. Lets call it 4 modes of course including Off ;) Probably worth giving it a bash...

    Haibike sDuro Yamaha powered 2015 eBike range revealed!

    ***WOW THREAD HIJACK ALERT*** Col - Worth removing these and making a new thread for your range? Seeing as the bikes above bear no resemblance to Haibike or Yamaha? Can't remember the last time we hijacked a KTM post.. ;)

    Haibike sDuro Yamaha powered 2015 eBike range revealed!

    Hi, Just to eliterate, in response to your other thread, when riding the prototype Yamaha system 2 weeks ago in germany I found it to cut out at approx 15.5mph but it did fade off to about 17.5mph until the power was noticeably not assisting. It did seem to help keep topping up and just over...

    Haibike sDuro Yamaha powered 2015 eBike range revealed!

    Hi, Yes it is cheaper, it also comes up a lot lighter, has better spec brakes and is of course crank drive over a hub. Can I ask is the sDuro Cross a bike you wish to purchase? Regards Martin

    Haibike sDuro Yamaha powered 2015 eBike range revealed!

    Hi Michael, We won't be doing the Cross. The trekking and eMTB's are far more popular. Its also very similar price to both the Trekking RC and the HardNine RC which are more popular bikes and obviously the Trekking comes equipped for similar money. Martin

    Haibike amt pro. First impressions? ;)

    Do not ride this bike with the rear wheel having that much play in it!.. Make sure it is the rear wheel and not the pivot bolts that hold this play, only reason I mention as I know previously that you didn't have them done up correctly and lost a bolt. This needs to be taken to a dealer and...

    KTM Macina Cross problem

    Don't use copper grease! But there will be enough 'spare' grease built up around the top of the motor pinion pulley to re-use on the floating washer. Martin

    Creeking Crank

    Yes this is very tight! This is what it states in my dealer book. Maybe on decent brand new bolts, but still, very much too tight! "Very tight" is a good way forward ;) Martin
