    When to give way..

    Poor driving, as an ADI i feel confident thst if sny of my pupils pulled that on a test they would have been dualled by the examiner. Poor forward planning, after all they were turning left anyway. Dangerous etc. I have it all the time on my bike round here.

    Advice needed please

    Maybe mike. There is a huge difference in the way these two sets of bikes work and feel. The haibikes have the motor by the crank directly driving the bike by the chain. It creates more torque but they do seem to have reliability issues and the chains get a lot of stress. The ride is more...

    Good news for me. The ebay seller has sent another battery pack. I just tested it after a 4 hour charge. It did 2.5 hours on full. I ran down the other one ND M giving that 4 hours and will time that tomorrow on full. Should be a lot quicker lol

    Thanks Dave. I did notice the discharge when connected when I ran out on me in the garage in the first week. So I don't do that anymore. I've messaged the seller, maybe he will send another pack. But on listening to replies it seems I was way off in my expectations of battery life. I will just...
