    Discontinued Battery

    You could try contacting Halfords as they stock the coyote connect, another version of your bike. Or go straight to the importer for viking/coyote- Avocet cycles on 0161 727 8508.

    Very disappointing start....

    Lubricate the chain.

    Brand new Haibike, two broken chains in first 35 miles, and other problems, advice needed

    Is there a missing link connection on the second chain? I wonder if the bike shop manually fitted a normal link pin and that is what parted.

    My bum hurts

    I thought all saddles were uncomfortable unless you ride them frequently. I have the same saddle on all my bikes but if I ever go a couple of weeks without a decent ride I know about it.

    bring dead battery back to life

    I get what you are saying but these lamps ran a full shift with capacity to spare, 8 hours day in and day out year after year. Used and abused yet kept their users safe in conditions I can barely comprehend and all of this was 30 - 40+ years ago and today they can be revived. OP should have a...

    bring dead battery back to life

    My neighbour has an interest in mining lamps, he takes lamps that have not been used since the early 1980s and refills them with electrolite from a car battery. Then over a period of days he charges/discharges them untill they achieve an acceptable use time. I have never seen him use so much as...

    Wheels

    No experience and no tools, I bought a decent spoke wrench although most of the build you use a screwdriver on the back of the nipple. I fashioned a truing station from an old pair of forks for the front and my turbo trainer for the rear.

    Wheels

    Look for some with 36 spokes per wheel, e-bikes need the additional strength and weight isn't an issue. Just over a year ago I bought all the parts and built myself a pair of wheels. Interesting task which I spent about 4 hours per wheel building and truing. You won't save a lot but you will...

    Wheels

    Typically a 45mm tyre and 650b wheel package will have the same rolling radius as a 28mm tyre on a 700c wheel package. To allow for the increased dimension of a typical MTB tyre you will need to drop to a 650b wheel, as a 700c (29er) with an MTB tyre will foul the frame if it wasn't designed...

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    Gubbins told the insurance co the bike went without the battery, it was up to them to arrange collection of battery, keys and documentation within a reasonable time scale and they did not. It is not up to Gubbins to explain the value of a used and unwaranted battery to an insurance company. It...

    My 2nd best decision

    Yes, but, full mudguards are "AWESOME", which pretty much sums up my original point, ;).

    My 2nd best decision

    My cube SUV Hybrid Pro is probably my best cycling decision ever, even though I still ride my conventional bikes whenever the circumstances allow. With a pannier rack on the back the e-Bike is unbeatable by my conventional bikes when loaded up and it means I can do a supermarket run without...

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    Something you will use multiple times every day as opposed to something you will remember to recharge once in a blue moon? Samsung Gear S3, desirable, tactile and functional or a BOSCH battery sat on a shelf? My offer back in your face, you know you want it :) :).

    Recovering a stolen Bike

    Who polices this though, you walk into a bike shop with original receipt of purchase and report it stolen - despite the fact you just sold it for cash to someone? It has to be recorded via the Police, technology will eventually be able to link bike shops to Central Police databases but don't...

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    I think you need to read "Free" as included in purchase price, no such thing as "Free" in the commercial world.

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    That is obviously the most sensible outcome and like you I (probably) don't need two battery's (less than you as at least you can cycle home and swap bikes LOL). I would though like two battery's but my purchasing power values them much lower. GLTS :).

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    Talking up the price because you paid too much does not help Phil though, unless of course you are prepared to pay him £500 for his. Stick a bid on his ebay auction and you may get it for £499. How much did you get for your old battery Soundwave, that is probably a better indicator of value.

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    SOLD to Soundwave for £450 then... My first thought was "why did he not take the £450?", then of course I realised Ebay would charge about £45 and Paypal about £20 then the offer probably required postage so courier only at circa £40+ subject to distance. Then the big worry about the...

    How much is a Bosch 500w battery worth?

    Why not put a price on it and advertise it here? I am sure I am not the only member here who often dreams of having a second battery. Ebay does no one any favours, paypal neither, often the fees make the transaction impractical for vendor & purchaser alike. At the right price I could be tempted...
