Those look like sealed bearings. I'd expect them to last a very very long time

Thanks for sharing that mrgold. I keep looking at my bottle of slime and wonder if I should use it. I've heard of Stans sealant and wonder if it's better or the same as "slime" brand? My tires are michelin protek cross and they are puncture resistant but not as much protection as the protek...

I've read some articles that say to avoid the sealant that it results in an unbalanced tire, plugs up the presta valve, adds 8 oz of weight and makes a mess when changing tires. Others say products like "slime" are a godsend and they never get flats after using it. I bought a 16oz. bottle of...

I ride 99% paved bike paths or roads and go very easy on the motor/drive train. bike is Haibike trekking 6.0 with Yamaha drive and 10 speed cassette in the back, two chain rings up front. I clean and lube the chain every 100mi. on average. I have 750mi. on the bike and so far my chain stretch...

I thought my sarcasm was pretty obvious. pepper spraying a vicious dog's owner would be the last thing anyone would want to do but yes, I should add a wink after posts like that

I think we can all agree that it's not the dogs fault in these situations. The responsibility rests squarely on the owners shoulders so if you do carry pepper spray or mace, it would make sense to spray the dog owner and not the dog.. Just a little spritz

Yes, I was joking but I DO carry pepper spray in my rack bag after too many close calls with loose dogs. I also dread actually having to use it sometime

Who says you can't use the pepper spray on people? If they won't get off the path, I see nothing wrong with a quick spritz when you are finally able to get by

I was joking about the "to your left" thing :).... Don't be discouraged about what happened. I let an acoustic roadie pass me intentionally going up a hill so he could "win" and my thanks was him spitting next to my front wheel when he passed

How many bearings need to be changed and where can I buy the bearings and sealing gasket? I asked my dealer and he had no clue as a matter of fact he told me I'd void my 3 year warranty if I opened up the motor

I don't know why your post would have been deleted. Anyway, good luck in your search for an ebike. With so many different makes and models it's a daunting task to pick the best one for you.

You made a mistake with the older couple.. The correct thing to say is "to your left" not "on your left". We have a large afghan hound and he chases anything that moves including leaves. He's never pulled me off my feet though and he's always under control. If that lady couldn't safely control...

LOL.. upping amp draw from a 10s lithium battery from 30 to 40 amps is not a big deal, if it even happens.

My Haibike has a walk mode button but it doesn't work and I'm told none of the US model Haibike/Yamaha combo works in walk mode. No idea why, it's a feature I'd like to have

What exactly is "proper maintenance" on a Yamaha motor? The only thing I can do to mine without opening it up is clean the outer seals

I'd probably just risk it and put in a higher amp rated fuse. If it can handle 30 amps, it can probably handle 39

This is probably not it but my Haibike with yamaha drive had an annoying creaking noise every pedal revolution. I chased it for a month not being able to find the source.. I finally found it.... The creak was coming from the seat post inside the seat tube. I never would have thought that's where...

I think I can see space for a bafang ultra motor on that rig

I let a spandex guy pass me intentionally going up a big hill. I could have dropped him easily but didn't. He was working really hard so I gave him his mental and emotional victory.. Sadly, when I let him pass he saw I was riding an ebike, I got a dirty look and then he promptly spit right next...

What about those stupid looking wrap around sunglasses the lycra crowd wears? TBH, I don't WANT to look like a tour de France competitor when I'm on the local MUP trail going 14mph. Sure I've had bugs fly into my eyes but I can usually just blink them out
