    Chain slipping?

    It's the cassette, given you have changed the chainring because it's too low geared suggests you spend most of the time in the top couple of gears. As they have fewer teeth they will wear very quickly unless they are made of better material. Change the cassette sooner rather than later before...

    Renting ebike battery abroad

    I have hired an additional Yamaha battery locally for the princely sum of €5. Wouldn't rely on being able to do so without asking in advance.

    haibike 2018 SDURO HardSeven 1.0 problem

    You sure about that? He may be able to recell by keeping everything live but I'm sure he can't fix the BMS / communication module.

    haibike 2018 SDURO HardSeven 1.0 problem

    Whatever you do even if someone suggests otherwise do not go trying to do capacity tests with external loads and do not go sticking multimeters into battery terminals.

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    You don't get actual voltage until the battery is on the bike and turned on. I have an extender battery on mine, if I measure the voltage it will increase when I turn the battery on. Also worth noting on the OEM battery if you try and put a load on (maybe a lamp) with the battery not switched...

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    It is symptomatic on no communications between the battery and the display. It is possible that dirty connections can cause this but usually it is the battery that is at fault. Does the original battery work?

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    You can only read the voltage on a Yamaha battery with the battery on the bike ans switched on. Be careful of the third terminal with your multimeter, if you probe it to the wrong side you will kill the electronics! (With an OEM BMS)

    Boy, 15, given six points on future driving licence for speeding on scooter

    Remember he was only prosecuted for the same offences anyone riding a deristricted ebike would be.

    ADVICE/ADVICE - Think my battery has Finally died !!!

    Not true, a 36V battery charger will charge to 42V. Maybe the BMS will not allow charging as the voltage supplied is too low.

    Doesn't allow for any development, we'd all still be stuck with a standard horse or something!

    anyone else got plantar fasciitis from cycling?

    If like many you pedal with your arches rather than having the pedal shaft under the ball of your foot you can cause pain that is not dissimilar to plantar fascillitis.

    Results of cycling accident

    I guess it's due to accident stats, many times this thread has referred to urban cycling being much safer than 'sports' cycling.

    Derestricted or legal

    Not that I know of, I guess it will only happen following an accident. The police in Austria where I ride my bike do have a dynamometer and do test bike cut out speed. They are also fully aware of the methods of working most if not all of the mainstream dongles.
