May 30, 20169 yr Different cell types = different capacity for the same number of cells (and different price) Say the cells have a 5 gram difference in weight = 200 grams more on the battery So, you think it num 1 above? It's the most likely explanation. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
May 30, 20169 yr The weight difference shown between the batteries = 100 grams or 2.5 grams per cell. The Samsung 26F is 44 grams The 30Q is 48 grams

May 30, 20169 yr I take my charger to work in my Ortlieb Panniers that are very useful for carrying other stuff and can be removed, carried about, and re attached very easily. I have a Haibike sDuro and the yamaha battery can be removed very easily and either carried by its carry handle or slipped in a pannier. Removing the battery and display will make your bike less attractive to a thief.
May 31, 20169 yr A Raleigh Motus has already been mentioned, but I'd still like to say great bike for what you describe you want. Its very well thought out for commuting with a good range.
June 12, 20169 yr Author Right... Since I wanted a bike with a long range, I went to the Kalkhoff shop to view a few. While in the shop, someone was collecting a bike that had a motor fault (not the first time), and another customer was talking about an Integral bike losing power, or something like that. There was surely a lot of bike waiting to be serviced. Reading this forum a bit more, it sounds like I must stay clear of Impulse 2 bikes!! and that 50 cycles's service is not that great either. Their integral bikes look good, but they cost too much for me, and not sure about there reliability too! The Raleigh motus looks nice and is within budget, but battery is just too small I fear...
June 12, 20169 yr Author Maybe need to look at a Bosch one with a 500 battery, although I am a bit concerned about reliability issues of mid-engine bikes, from what I have read...

What kind of range are you looking for? Its easy to get over 40 miles and I live in a hilly area. Maybe you could give it a go and if you find you really needed more range get a spare battery
June 12, 20169 yr Maybe need to look at a Bosch one with a 500 battery, although I am a bit concerned about reliability issues of mid-engine bikes, from what I have read... had my bosch bike for 2 years and used a dongle on it the hole time and now around 1500 miles done, tho prob bit more than that as dongle half's everything on the display. crashed it thrown it down the road sideways and still going all i have broken so far is the xd hub that holds the cassette on and got a new 1 under warranty from crank brothers direct as bought my bike second hand.
