Happened on my wife's bike. When I was cleaning the cassette, I noticed that 8th and 9th gear cogs were loose. Strange, because on 8th gear there's no noise, but on 9th gear... Got my local bike shop to tighten the lock ring to the specified torque of 40NM. Problem gone!

"... just get used to what little noise your ebike makes." I can handle that part. It's the snarky, "Cheater!" remarks that I hate getting from some people.

Agreed. When I'm climbing a hill, sometimes people will ask, "Is that an e-bike? Turn on the motor," and I tell them, "It is on." They all say the same thing, "Are you sure? I don't hear anything." But when riding my wife's ebike with a Yamaha PW motor that sounds like my RC car, I get the...

@TomD: Thank you for your post on the Top 10 ebikes with the Bafang G510 Ultra. I went through the entire list and websites. Unfortunately, there aren't any full suspension ebikes for short people like my wife. [sigh] Someday...

@Chris: Well, one can always wish... ;) I've been spoiled by my BionX. I have freedom to use human power only, PAS, or throttle. I wrote to Mr. Pizzi about a trip my wife and I took in Vancouver, BC. We rented BionX equipped bikes and rode to Stanley Park. Near the middle of our ride, I...

@DDuB420: Thank you for posting those codes. I finally was able to change the clock, thanks to you!

I think you meant POWER, rather than CHRONO as the G2 Console has no CHRONO button... Well, at least mine doesn't.

I would like to see a throttle on the Haibikes. As I've mentioned before in other forums, it doesn't have to give me gobs of speed, it just has to get me home safely if I get hurt or I'm dog tired.

@Brambor: I like the part of the article that says that the Yamaha battery is inserted from the side allowing better integration into smaller frames. That's great for riders like my wife and I who are short. Hope Bosch will start doing this. I test rode a Haibike FS RX and the smallest frame...
