Just be careful of the spandex roadies, I've read they are a tough crowd and like to beat people up :)

A full review by Court would be great! I look forward to that

Yeah, those road bicycle riders are a tough bunch alright. I see them beating up truck drivers and motorcyclists all the time. Physical assaults on anyone who disrespects them is common :)

So an 11 speed chain lasts longer than a 10 speed chain?

I wish my ebike dealer was as knowledgeable as Mike. I know more about lithium ion cells than my dealer and more about brushless motors as well. I didn't want to buy a bike and have no dealer support though but I was tempted to buy online to save some money. Too many components with the...

That's great!

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
