    Yamaha motor noise

    I find cleaning and lubing the chain makes it slighly quieter. I'm thinking of heading to the Forest of Dean maybe Saturday or Monday. If you want to meet up we can do a comparison?

    Newbie - battery charging question

    Hi Sharon, you live in one of the best places in the UK for mtbiking. I'd wait 'till you get out in the mountains for a days riding before worrying about getting a portable charger. Your've very likely get 50 miles of use before the battery is flat? I know I'm physically finished before my...

    Newbie battery mileage / usage questions

    So many great quotes from that film available. Sadly, none of them repeatable on this forum! My absolute favourite scene in this or possibly any film ever, is 'the Jesus'. Cinematic genius.

    Newbie battery mileage / usage questions

    We did 16 miles round the Mortimers Forest in N. Herefordshire yesterday which included fire roads, single tracks, red downhill trails and a very big steep climb. This is all off road using eco, standard and high power settings. Our 400w batteries used 30% power (my wife 57kgs) and 32%(me...

    Our first date was a cycle ride during which we had a race, the loser buying a curry. It was me who paid for that first meal together. She hadn't told me at that point she had been a triathlete.

    Newbie hello

    Hi there and welcome. Yes you're right to be excited. I hadn't ridden a Haibike before I bought mine. All I could do when I first rode it was giggle and smile. Way better than I could have imagined! I still do the same when I'm on it now.

    My wife and I did 10 miles round Credenhill Woods this morning. She outpaced me on this steep climb. Good going, as she's not been on the bike for 3 weeks due to the arrival of our new Grandson.

    Haibike Trekking

    My wife is 5ft 5in and her Haibike amt rc sduro is a 40cm frame. Mine is a 44 frame and I'm 5ft 7in. These are big bikes and I'd suggest you need to try before you buy. I wouldn't want a 48cm. It would be much harder throwing the bigger bike round the hills and trails.

    20 mile trip round Wyre Forest near Kidderminster yesterday. Very impressed with the place, especially once you are north of the old railway line. Stunning scenery and wide range of tracks/trails.

    Hello

    Hi Steve, we bought them from Damian Harris in Cardiff. We were going to stop off and try them in the Forest of Dean on the way home but thought that would be too much of a 'baptism of fire'!

    To go tubeless or not to go tubeless.

    Thanks for the response. It makes sense that the original tubes are thin, so I'll replace them as I get punctures and keep them as spares. Also look into tubeless via research, as I don't have a clue atm

    Bank holiday riding

    How good are the slime tubes? I've had my Haibike 2 weeks, been out trailing 5 times and got 2 punctures so far!
