    New Yamaha unit, more details

    Nice one Martin. I'm sure that it will do well :) Newhaven Ferry!!! I'd sooner pay the extra 1K than chance ever having a reliable crossing on that. :D

    New Yamaha unit, more details

    It's never going to happen in the UK. A mere 21miles of water instantly adds 1k plus to the price. Customers in the UK, just seem happy to their pants pulled down without even questioning it.

    My new top speed: Vol 2

    It's been a long time coming!!! :) Given the terrain, the average speed wasn't bad either. :) The Haibike performed well today, sport mode for the outward journey, turbo for the return, over half of battery duration still left, and an external motor temperature of 31.6 ºC My knees are...

    Range on 10,4 Ah water bottle style battery

    I'm sure that myself and Artstu both ride in a "correct and proper" manner, so how about it? Send up a bike to each of us to try. :)

    Range on 10,4 Ah water bottle style battery

    Currently 8 miles for me on the BH with it's hub drive, new battery and in eco mode! The new battery is going back! Even before that I could still kill one in approx 12 miles or so. Duff battery aside, the power settings don't work either, so for all I know, eco could be standard/sport. The...

    Cleaning ebike.

    As you have never removed the rear wheel before, here is a pretty basic (agricultural) video for you. The first time that you do it, you might struggle, but after time, it only takes a few minutes to both remove and replace the wheel. Some handy hints to make life easier. 1. Put white...

    Legal ebike?

    Officer, perhaps you would be kind enough to inform me as to why it is that you consider my bike to be illegal, when police forces the length and breadth of the country are being issued with, and have the use of, exactly the same bikes?

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    Thanks Jonah, I might well see if I scrounge the use of a bike before committing myself. :) 50Cycles have a shop about 25 miles away from me, and I'm guessing that they might well have a demo bike. AS for the cows, they were fenced in, although most of the time you have to take your chances...

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    The distance and time doesn't matter Helen. It's the getting out there and enjoying a ride that counts. :) Jonah, I've been trying for the last year to convince my wife to get out on an e-bike, but her confidence on anything two wheel related is dire. In truth she is dangerous. But seeing those...

    Haibike unite with Yamaha to bring a whole new eBike range to Europe

    It looks like it's wearing nappy! Why the hell didn't they colour code the bash plate.

    Haibike unite with Yamaha to bring a whole new eBike range to Europe

    Giant are already using Yamaha motors in their e-mtb's. If you haven't already seen one, they are the Full-E and Full-E +1 It is/was one of the bikes that I was considering as the next purchase to replace the BH, but I'm pretty certain that my money will be heading in the direction of KTM...

    Police asked me to stop using my bike!!! :( :( :(

    Not very helpful, but everyone including the police would give you a wide berth, if you were to fit a children's windmill to the bike, perhaps wear a skirt, and put some wings on the side of the cycle helmet. :) It is a nice bit of kit that you have there though. :)

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I stupidly took the BH for a 28 mile ride on the South Downs yesterday. Stupid, because the battery only lasted for about 8 miles in eco! It was still a good ride though, although ideally I've had liked to have got a few more miles in, but pedalling the best part of 20kg of bike, soon gets...

    BH NEO battery/charger question.

    Now that I finally have the new battery for the BH NEO Xtrem, I already have a problem. No surprise there I guess! I can kill the replacement new battery dead in approximately 12 miles using eco mode, which is approximately 8 miles less than the original battery. I also have an issue when...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Well the organised ride left me a bit flat. I had to pretty much pedal most of it to remain slow enough. :( I was shown a fantastic range of single track though, which they had been riding for some time. I followed behind for the first route, and just hung on to the brakes all they way down, to...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I've now been out four nights in a row riding off road, and have put in approx. 80miles. I've also just been invited to tag along on an organised ride tomorrow afternoon as well. My body is starting to feel pretty beat up! As for the BH, surprise surprise I have issues with it once again. I'm...

    2015 KTM.....

    When I saw the Mini Me last week, I thought "now that's a smart move" The ultimate kids toy for the wealthier client. In relation to the Macina Lycan's, for 2016, tell KTM to alter the frame seat tube angle to allow for a dropper seat. :) I'm still voting it e-mtb of the year though.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I went out again this evening, and yep the lack of traction was definitely down to tyre pressures. I did loose count of how many times that I fell off this evening though. All low speed, trying to negotiate tricky stuff. I also got a complete soaking trying to navigate both down and across the...
