    Thanks for the pic,s. How Effective are the MTB mudguards in the wet. My loan haibike xduro trecking is knackered so I tried using my old manual MTB to get home today. Was hoping my my fitness would be a bit better after 3 weeks on the e-bike. Nope it took me twice as long on the non assist...

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven or Trekking

    I had a quick tear down a country lane which had a fairly steep hill at the end. I was very impressed with the hill climbing abilities of the bike. It was my first time on a hub motor and also with a throttle. To be honest I was a little bit dissapointed with the throttle at first but then...

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven or Trekking

    Thanks for all the advice on the European importers. I've had a rethink on the haibike then in that case and had a visit to my local electric bike shop. SYEBC is only 5 minutes round the corner so yesterday I went and had a try on the Oxygen MTB.

    Haibike xduro Trecking SL - rear gear hub slipping

    Thanks. I've had a look and there's no foreign objects between the sprockets no missing teeth, cable looks free and shifting ok to the three positions. I'm sure its internal to the hub.

    Haibike xduro Trecking SL - rear gear hub slipping

    I've had the above bike on loan for three weeks now. It had done around 500 miles on it when I got it. This morning on my way into work the rear wheel gear hub has started slipping when i select either 2nd or 3rd on the left hand thumb shifter. There's a horrible clucking noise and the pedals...

    Thanks. I should really go for the Oxygen E-mate City with the mudgards and lights already fitted but I just don't like the look and location of the battery on it. I had a demo on a the Oxygen e-mate MTB last night and was very impressed although the tyres are very wide and probably not...

    Has any one put mud guards on the oxyge MTB. If so would like to see some pics. Does the bike have an output to run lights from easily. What's it like with the panniers.

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven or Trekking

    Its the warranty concerns for me which is keeping me from using this eBay importer. No guarantee this eBay seller would be about in 8 months time if the battery of electronics died and should like some confirmation that if I took it to my local Haibike dealer with an import they would help you...

    Daytime Lights

    On Friday 8:50am a 68 year old cyclist was Killed when a lorry pulled out on him just round the corner from where I work. This could have been me as I'd passed the same route 20 minutes before. So I've just purchased some additional lights which I will be running during the day in strobe mode...

    Battery Charging - Opinions Please

    The reason to leave the battery on charge over night is that I usually can't be bothered or forget to go back out and turn it off. Its a question does the charger actually turn itself off completely when the battery is fully charged. Also does the charger still take a small bit of power in this...

    Battery Charging - Opinions Please

    I've currently being loaned a Raleigh Motus e-bike with the 2014 Bosch system. As it is on loan I didn't get any of the bikes manuals just had a 2 minute walk through. In fact I've only just released there's a charging port on the bike itself so you don't have to remove the battery to charge...

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    A month ago I managed to persuade my missus to let me bu my dream car a VW Scriocco ;leather heated seats, sat nav, Bluetooth all the gadgets etc. Unfortunately it developed a gear box fault the first week and ended up in the Garage for nearly 12 days. At the time there wasn't any courtesy...
