    yamaha pw-x removal from Haibike Allmtn 2.0

    Too long just give me the short answer version: don't gently tap the M6 screw with a plastic hammer, use a normal hammer and apply moderate force until there is no space between the plug (see picture below) and the motor - it helps if you put the bike upside down to see when this happens but you...

    2019 haibike sduro fullnine 8.0 with 7000 Km pw-x motor issues

    Ended up replacing the motor, too difficult to diagnose the exact problem. The new motor cost ~900 euros at the Kerobike dealership in Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania. Hope I can fix it in the future while I enjoy riding the new motor.

    yamaha pw-x removal from Haibike Allmtn 2.0

    I got it to wiggle a bit but not that much, tapping on the screw doesn't seem to work. The reason why I asked you how the tapping works is that in my case it might be stuck for some reason so I needed a workaround. Really don't understand why a PW-SE is so easy to remove yet a PW-X is so...

    yamaha pw-x removal from Haibike Allmtn 2.0

    Do I have to re-insert the long screws (M8) and torque them to 22 Nm in order for the tapping on the M6 screws to work? Because I initially removed all the screws and only after I read the instructions from the service manual. Also, I don't understand what happens when I tap the M6 screw, how...

    yamaha pw-x removal from Haibike Allmtn 2.0

    Hi Dave! I'm also struggling to remove the drive unit assy. I tapped the bolt with a plastic hammer but nothing seems to happen. How hard did you tap it? Does it have to be a "manly" tap or really a light tap like the instructions say? What happened in your case when you tap it? Did the [a] move?

    2019 haibike sduro fullnine 8.0 with 7000 Km pw-x motor issues

    Hi, Starting with last year I started having motor issues with my 2019 Haibike Sduro Fullnine 8.0. These happened less often before but nowdays they tend to drive me crazy. My e-bike has little over 7000 Km. I had no other issues with the motor, did not have any accidents and my riding style is...

    745Whr replacement batteries + 7A charger from E-bike Vision

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-Electric-Battery-500-Watts-Drive/dp/B0725SDRCH/ Well, a brand new 500Wh Yamaha battery is almost 800 euros. Keeping the proportion per Wh, a 745Wh would be almost 1200 euros. At least for Yamaha, it makes some financial sense. For Bosch or other vendors.. I don't...

    745Whr replacement batteries + 7A charger from E-bike Vision

    I sent them an e-mail with the following questions, will also reply here when (if) they do: 1) Is the increased capacity (ie. 745Wh) only due to the increased battery size or due to a different battery technology than the one used in OEM batteries? 2) Is this battery going to age the same way...

    internal cable routing for 2019 models

    Ok, found out that actually there is none but I replaced the rear derailleur shift cable quite easily and got a feeling how it goes. First, I removed the cable inlets and then inserted the cable housing into the top tube and gently pressed it until it reached the end, very close to where the...

    internal cable routing for 2019 models

    Hi! Does anybody know if the haibike 2019 models (ie. sduro, xduro) have easy internal cable routing ie. pre-built routes inside the frame so you can simply insert the cable at one end and it will easily find its way at the other end.

    yamaha pw-x assist in a steep climb

    Hi guys! I'm starting to notice an interesting fact about the Yamaha PW-X motor (I have a haibike fullnine 8.0 2019). Let's say I start a steep climb so I'm in my second lowest gear in the back, small chainring in the front. I switch from what I typically use all the time, eco, to std. At some...
