I am in the same situation and I am about to get a replacement for my broken MT4e brake lever to the S8.0, Yamaha system. Both the lever and the wire is damaged. (stupid wind blew the bike over). So, what is the conclusion of the opener/closer for the Yamaha system Haibikes? I understand this...

I just got a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Winter for my S 8.0. The size is 700x40 and they fit quite nicely under the fenders with ample clearance. I would not however ride in deep snow, that might pack the fenders full. Also notice the strip I used to secure the brake cable to the fork. That...

Thank you for your input

They are now not loose by any means. I just tightened them down to factory specifics minus a few

I know. See OP for thoughts about warranty vs time/worries. I did not contact the dealer because of this, even though EU buyer's legal rights are very strict. I went into this knowingly before I bought the bike. Warranty is not the issue, but supply/time. I am not a rich guy by any means, but I...

Not certain myself. I guess easing up the pressure on the bearings?

102% sure. I found out from hour1 how the engine thrives at a certain cadence/gear ratio. And I cannot stress this further: At any given cadence/gear I feel the engine fighting me at a 1:2 ratio when unpowered. The plum in the pudding is that I gain speed maintain speeds at the flats if I just roll.

I got a tip that the cranks might be overly tightened. I loosened them up a bit from the 40 something Nm that is stated in the service manual. ( I have no idea what the factory actually used of force to begin with). Things improved a bit. Normal ECO usage on flat roads is a bit more within...

So I have googling all over the net to find a replacement for my 500W s-pedelec motor, but it proved fruitless. The label on the motor says "Model X87". It is the standard unit of the Haibike Trekking S 8.0. Can someone please help me to find my way?

I have the same thing on my s-pedelec, both when powered off and when in ECO+ and ECO mode. It is a truly massive drag also, I have the stamina to pedal max 1km on flat surfaces that way and I am a fairly strong cyclist. NO, it is not the weight of the bicycle. Examples: -In both ECO modes: I...

I removed something else as the very first thing. Do you spot it? (hint: rear)

Just given it a nice rinse, changed brake pads, cleaned the chain ++ general TLC

A week ago a guy was busted in Sweden for going about 100km/h through the city's main street on a 4000W bike. There will always be that specED wonder that ruins it for all.

Most of the nonsensical comments have come from perfect strangers though. I work at a silicon ingot factory (pre-fab solar cells) and my co-workers get the point

I have two non-electrics in my hallway, one racer and a cyclocross hybrid. Retail price $1400 and $1600. That racer was a waste of money due to the poor asfalt standards. (yes, non-electrics are really expensive too if one likes good brakes, gears etc)
