I've ridden my Haibike long enough, worn out enough chain rings and stretched enough chains to learn some things along the way....... 1. No matter how dedicated you are or are not in keeping your chain lubed, it means nothing when it comes to the physical stretching of a chain. And once the...

I imagine there are stripped threads on the thru-axle, the frame or both. I'd think there are videos posted on youtube on the repair of this situation. My guess it involves a helo-coil insert (specific to bike frame dropouts). And/or a new thru axle. Forget about loc-tite. If you have a road...

Cannot beat that Yamaha ebike drive and battery system. The extra battery (1000 total wh's) and a 5 year warranty just makes it all the more a sweeter deal.

And in the below link, found again on the German pedelec forum, the poster describes replacing the display and controller (and a new display) and no joy! After some back and forth, the original poster finds he was sold the wrong controller (again, to my previous post, there are two PW LCD...

Dave, your post does not make it clear what year Haibike you have. Note that if you have the big LCD display, that there were 2 designs of that display. The earlier of the two DOES NOT include the Eco+ power setting. You must have the correct display for the proper year PW motor. Note that on...

E-Bike Vision will not ship their batteries to us in the USA, so it's a moot point. It's been quite a few years since member @Ravi Kempaiah brought these batteries to our attention on this forum. But once again, doing business with the Germans is a no-go. I have an Opel GT and am very well...

I hate to be the wet blanket on a very nice build, but as it stands, real off-road fat bikes are a niche market to begin with. (not talking about the typical Chinesium 70 pound plus monstrosities with no-name fat tires on them that are sold these days). Add a recumbent fatty into that mix and I...

Old Man Mountain Fat Sherpa Racks, Front mounted (photo 1, original configuration) and Front & Rear Mounted (photo 2, my final bike setup). I'm old school too and find the ease of use and capacity of a good rack mounted pannier beats the new age bike frame mounted bags, 7 days out of the week...

@PCeBiker: Why is your handlebar stem backwards?

For those low light hours where I may be out on the H-Bike, I have full trust in the dynamo powered SON28 rear tail light. Being German, it's a full-bright, full-on light, no blinking. I'm pretty much constrained to my camo-gray Fox Racing pants and usually the upper wear are shades of black. I...

Doubtful that you will find a welder who is willing to put his butt on the line in repairing that frame crack. Forget about JB Weld (or any other epoxy) and forget about learning how to braze or weld aluminum. Your safety is not worth it when you find yourself going down some grade at 30 plus...

My advice would be to send it off to @PedalUma and let him work his magic on it. (that is, provided he does "mail order type-builds")! Or at a minimum, pick his brain while ordering the drive gear from him. I would think the only people concerned about motor clearance-to-ground issues are the...

Any bike or ebike is just a collection of various ancillary parts made by various manufacturers. Part of the fun of making your bike your very own, personalized vision of what you think your bike should be, is researching, buying and installing those upgraded parts. But it takes a bit of...

Your angle of discussion here, Stefan, makes me believe more and more that Yamaha Ebikes (the USA division) made a smart move branching out in the US market. How so? Take a look at what happened to Haibike in the US: they just upped and left our market (as did Yamaha powered BH). That was a...

I'm really enjoying the back and forth within this thread. And I do like that 2 wheel drive Yamaha gravel off-road bike, very much. Interesting how they went with 2 separate style batteries to power it's respective motor. I'm sure or hoping they are the same voltage so a single charger can be...

For sure, Rick. I still have mine down the cellar though she hasn't been ridden in years. Decades, actually. Gray metallic with silver on the downtube. Chromed lower fork stays. Gold lettering. Vetus tubing. The bike today reflects my thinking in 1985 or so....... Aero handlebar. Avocet...

I hope you reconsider that decision, @Ang1sgt. Waaay back in 1981, one day I decided "I'm going to pedal my bicycle to Canada and back." Actually, that decision started a year earlier. Using my 1975 Sears Free Spirit 10 speed. With rear rack mounted steel side baskets. Panniers? No. I had my...

These pics were taken on one ride up on the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath from Bordentown, NJ to Trenton NJ in March of 2018. A heavy duty straight line wind event came in that small area and really knocked down a good number of trees. Working north on the towpath at Bordentown and I...

Absolutely beautiful country! Thanks for sharing!

Away from the bags and their mounts for a moment; I hope that whatever tour you plan to go on includes a tour report here, with lotsa picks!
